That is what happened to my ride last year. If your car doesnt shake or vibrate while you start and you feel the engine very loose when you crank it confirm it is the timing belt. The remedy for this problem is, get a second hand head set and change it because most of your valves will be bent. It is not worth it to refurbish or repair back the engine because you will have to change all the valves and do a top overhaul. Another possibility is your air flow meter or controller which is a black box located at just beside the air intake filter box. Try knocking it because the valves inside it may freeze or jammed. For the fuel pump, you have to dismantle your passenger seat, unscrew few nuts and listen to the pump at ACC mode. Dont crank it. If you hear the motor moving, then it is not the fuel pump. The fuel pump is located below the passenger seat right behind your drivers seat. The last possibility is your distributor. This is quite complicated. What you have to do is, take out your plug cable and short it to any metal found below the hood. Crank the engine. If you see sparks then your distributor is working. Try changing your spark plugs. Thats is all I know. I hope that these procedures can help you find the fault. Good luck!</p></blockquote><p></p>
