I have a 95 Talon TSI AWD. I was driving around 45 mph, my motor shut off and made a faint grinding sound then that was it. I coasted to a stop and tried starting it. It turns over really fast with a weak compression sound. Did I break my timing belt and bend my valves? I've been having poor porformance for a few days. I thought it was due to my Apexi Super AFC II. Some how the settings got reset. I was in the process of retuning them. Any suggestions??? :confused: Thanks!
 
O.K. I took off the timing belt cover and the belt is on. It's in great shape and the timing marks match up. I'll take a compression test next.
