Im totally stumped.. I have the plugs out and can hear compression in all cylinders when i spin the crankshaft in neutral. Its connected to everything.. and the timing belt doesnt even budge. As far as I can tell the timing belt is directly connected to the crankshaft, correct?? When I put the car in gear and move the crank shaft the timing belt moves? Am I just overlooking something stupid? I mean the timing belt should spin when cranking over engine with starter, or else how is the damn thing gonna start.. How the heck do the gears play a role in this??? Its to my understanding the timing belt directly relates to the crankshaft. correct me if im wrong..

When I turn the crankshaft pulley with a socket wrench while the car is in neutral it the timing belt does not move with the crankshaft. when the car is in gear and i move the car with the socket/rock it the timing belt moves with it.. I dont understand how this is possible?

Hope theres been no damage turning it over..

Timing belt isnt moving when I turn engine over. Ugh..

Timing belt intact, worn but, not broken. Cant seem to find this main relay to power ECU though? Where abouts is it, and any other ideas?

I checked all the fuses under the hood, but not the relays, I dont know how to check if those relays are good? Other then you can hear some go off when you pull them out. The indicators just say SBF-1 etc. I have no idea what SBF is. I will also check the main relay under the dash and try to find out somehow if its good or not. I will also check the Timing Belt and get back to you guys. Thanks for the help so far! (Sorry for double post, wacky internet.)

Hey, This is a cool place you got here, Glad I found it. Out of no where went to start up the car and would just turn over. Wouldn't fire or even pop off a couple times. Ran awesome up until then, no prior symptoms. From check engine light blinking ive managed to gather this information: 33: Vehicle Speed Sensor Circuit 11: Crank Angle Sensor or Circuit 13: Cam Position Sensor or Circuit 31: Throttle Position Sensor or Circuit Light was never on before this happened, it all happened at once when i tried to start. I Checked any fuses that correlate with anything important and I couldnt find any blown ones, even checked alot of em for continuity. Checked for spark with timing light and couldnt get anything out of all 4 cylinders. Checked the coil pack connector for voltage and couldnt really get any readings that made sense.. like .6 or .8 volts.. Im a Chevy truck guy, I really dont know how these ignition systems or coil packs really even work.. But I would assume its not firing because it doesnt know when to because of loss of readings on sensors. Is there a common wire or fuse for these sensors? These Boxer engines are a whole new world for me. Any help or suggestions would be awesome.. I lose my job if I cant get this dang thing to run. So thank you in advance, Im really in a pickle here! EDIT: Also replaced alternator 1000~ miles ago
