Car lost all power while driving the other day. No prior issues with vehicle starting. Alternator good and replaced fuel pump, but still will not start. It cranks but will not turn over.

It sounds like you may have broken a timing belt but to be sure.

Here is a guide to check the engine compression if it has none then I think we found it:

Rent a gauge for free at most auto parts stores if you don't have a gauge or they are cheap on Amazon.

Here is a guide on how to do the belt.

Please let us know what happens.

Cheers, Ken
