I have a 1993 Del Sol 1.5 with manual tranny. The car was parked on idle and it just shut off. I tried to start it again but no go. Starter turns fine and the car has plenty power to turn the engine, but it does not fire all the way. All I've done is get new spark plugs but no go. Any opinions ?

Looks like a timing belt went out.

check gas tank, too.... you'd be surprised.

The alternator (aka distributor) is gonna be right up at the top of the block, next to the valve cover on the left. Easy to pick out. Also, check your whole block for damage. If you blew your timing belt, then you're probably gonna have some holes in your block, and you need a new block. Swap time!

Timing belt is fine, I think it might be the distributor. There is no spark generating to fire the spark plugs. Thanks.
