My car quit running the other day. I was driving down the road
and it just quit. The only thing that I think it can be is that it jumped timing. The timing belt looks like new, and it is getting fire and fuel. Can anyone give me any suggestions?

It's a 1991 hatch, no mods.

 

have you checked your pin outs maybe ones bad or just came out.

 

if it jumped timing it could have bent some valves etc...that's not good...anyway...i don't think it could jump timing to that extreme unless the belt broke...sounds more electrical than mechanical...is there spark

btw..how do you know it jumped...is the cam gear and pulley that far off tdc when you try to straighten them up?

 

Actually sounds like the Distributor went bad.

 

hmmm... sounds very familiar to my problem almost to the T might want to check your spark. if theres no spark could be your cap,rotor,coil.... or the whole dizzy its self...

 

DX (dual point fuel injection, trottle body) or Si (multi point fuel injection, one injector per cylinder right where the intake manifold connects to cylinder head)?

In a previous thread, someone mentioned that in the DX if one of the injectors went bad, the car would stop running.

 

hmmm.... went to shop today replaced everything on dizzy...... no luck .. can smell gas on spark plugs.... im getting power to the module i wonder if the whole thing is bad

Check the Fuses in Fusebox under the hood !

i used to have a dx type dpfi mobile and i was throwing a injector code but it still worked but was scared when it almost doesnt start, so you might want to check the ecu for a code, but other than that definitly thats something weird and prlly like the othe ppl said something electrical a little simple digonosis can really go a long way

 

check the main relay, mine did the same thing but my fuel pump wasnt kicking on. you sure yours is.
