ok, monday we were cruzing on the freeway to cabellas in the tracker, we stop to get gas then all of a sudden it starts acting real weird and wouldnt hold idle. so we cleared it out a couple times but it kept up, almost like it had jumped a tooth on the timing belt like last time, so we head back twards home, get about 10 miles then the fucker died, it made that " freewheeling" sound when you tried to start it,sounded just like the other snapped timing belt. but the belt is fine... it seams like it os only getting compression on 1 cylinder... what should I try next??

busted cam?

I had a similar problem on my 1.3. Sheared the pin on the crank pulley. May want to check that too.

I'm assuming that that would cause the distributor rotor to not spin, if so then I guess thats our problem

 

[bigNATE®]

the timing belt and cam pully rotate but no spin of the rotor

 

[Hank]

Nope. That aint it then.

Sounding like a busted cam.

It could be the distributor. Checking this may be easier, and to remove the cam you have to remove the distributor anyway.

Does the cam rotate?

sounds like you "so we cleared it out a couple times" one time too many:flipoff2:
