Hi, my 93 integra just died on me as I was leaving a parking garage in downtown. I can hear the engine trying to start, but it won't start all the way. Could this be a timing belt problem? If so, how much would it cost to repair a broken timing belt problem? I heard it could be costly, so I'm a bit nervous. Any help or advice is appreciated. Thanks

take the distributor cap off,crank motor, and see if the rotor turns, if not probly timing belt

once you take the valve cover off you can see if the timing belt broke. How many miles are on the car? Are you getting any spark or fuel?

The car has about 132000 miles and I'm not sure if it's getting any spark. The stereo still comes on and the fuel gauge says the tank is full. I'm crossing my fingers it's a start problem or something. Does anyone know aproximately how much it will cost to repair if it is a broken timing belt? Thanks again guys for the info.

check to see if you are getting spark. take out a plug, connect it to plug wire, lay it close to body, have some1 in car to crank to see if it arcs. It sounds to me like it is the ignitor (or coil), cranks fine with no start.? Mine just died yesterday for the 2nd time in 6 mo. Replacing ignitor today. Mofo P.O.S. costs $110.00 for that little distributor part.
