yes, both belts are on, timing is correct, idling nice and smooth. Now to seal up a few other minor leaks and we should be good to go. Thanks 88Rxtuner, for the tips on belt install too. I will keep that in mind for, hopefully distant, future replacement. ~JimmyB

Yeppers.. the RubyRoo is back on the road and running nekid. That way I can keep and eye on things. I think the crankshaft seal was leaking on the belts, this was further confirmed since the seal was removed with a pick tool and not a seal puller this has obviously been replaced along with the new belts. I have also ordered a pulley set off eBay. of course after I replaced the belts did I read i should have replaced the tensioner & idler too I am not sure if this is normal or not, but the drivers belt seemed to take a lot more effort to put on... I realize there are a few more pulleys to go around but compared to the passengers, which just slipped right on, it seemed a bit tougher. I followed the routing directions...was that my problem Any who, thanks to the super fast responses and wealth of knowledge here, I am back on the road. JimmyB

UPDATE: First I want to thank everyone for their fast responses, great advise & suggestions. I think we may have it figured out. Took a closer look at the timing belts today after discovering the disty wasn't spinning, should have looked there earlier ... it appears that the timing idler bolt had loosened over time and what was left of the belt let go on me. Have two new belts and will be reassembling tomorrow tonight. Hopefully didn't do any major damage. I think I will leave the timing covers off in the next go around. Again thanks for all the quick responses. Jim.

ihscout54: yeah that's what was readily available at the time. Since that doesn't seem to be the issue I will most likely be putting the stock coil back in. bratman18: each link was taken out and checked with a meter for continuity. Going to see if there are any codes set in the ECU. KOEO test reveals I believe to be a 33 Vehicle Speed Sensor or circuit. Not sure if that's right or not.

Bratman18 & ivantruckman... Fusible links all pass visual and continuity checks. The alternator has been replaced recently. Vehicle was running fine prior to this event occurring, engine just stopped. dash lights up as if you just turned the key prior to starting. not sure what else to check on. Still hunting...thanks for the fast replies. Jim

UPDATE: Batman18: Check the time belts, they are both in tact and have tension on the m. ihscout54: I picked up a new coil, Accel Super 8140 no changes..test for power at the coil was good...still no spark getting to plugs. would there be codes set in the ECU? I can't remember which test connectors are which. Still hunting...Thanks for all the quick responses. Jim

Tried a quick search .... I was driving the along everything was fine, then the oil light came on, with no throttle response, then the whole dash lit up and now she won't start. There is power, and the fuel pump pressurizes, but it only cranks. Tested the spark at the plugs and there wasn't any. Suspect Coil may be bad...going to try that first. Any other suggestions, all other electrical systems seem to be functioning fine. Any other suggestions? Thanks! Jim
