First and foremost let me thank you guys for dropping in and trying to help in anyway!
I'm used to working on 4g63's but recently my sisters 95 Esi just shut off while she was driving and I've narrowed it down to something to do with the timing.
First I checked for spark which wasn't present, then after checking resistance on the coil and wires I was about to check the cam and crank sensors when I pulled the timing cover and noticed the belt was ridiculiously loose... So I'm guessing the no spark was caused by the timing jumping a few teeth, or the tensioner just giving out? I'm not sure when the t-belt was replaced last or if it even was and its sitting at 160k miles.. my main concern is did it bend any valves and if it did how exactly would i know? I've already started getting it ready to replace the timing belt and water pump I just wanted to know if there was anyway I could rule out bent valves without pulling the head before replacing everything? Also I figured I would do the water pump while I'm at it, any other ideas or anything you have to add would be great.
Any help is much appreciated! I need to get this car back on the road as soon as possible so please if you have any ideas lmk!
