Is was told that it need a timeing belt. But the is a sticker on the motor saying that one was put on at 89.000 miles. It has a 134.000 on it now. I can hear the fuel pump come on when I turn the key on. Im not sure where to start to get it runing. Thanks Pete

So it is turning over slower than normal? Pull the plugs and check compression
