So yesterday I was driving and the car shut off. I got the car towed back to my house. It didn't throw a CEL. I'm not getting any spark and I don't think the injectors are firing when I try to start the car. I pulled the CAS off and turned it by hand and I had spark and could hear the injectors working. The check engine light and the boost gauge come on when I turn the ignition to the ON position so I think the ECU is still good. The coils and PT were replaced. I checked the timing and it is lined up perfectly still. Any ideas or test I can do?
 
the starter is turning, the cams are not turning, and I don't know if the crankshaft is turning, but I don't think it is.
 
Ya, the crank is turning. So I guess the timing belt must of broke. But the belt still has tension and the timing marks are still lined up perfectly. I dunno, the shop I called said that the belt may have stripped by the crankshaft sprocket.
