Do you have spark? Fuel? Compression? Does it fire at all? Does it sometimes fire when you let go of the key? If you have spark, are the spark plugs dry or wet? Did it just stop running or has it been sitting? These are very important questions that need to be answered in order to narrow down the problem. With a vehicle of this age, you could have a dead distributor triggering coil that would not show up in a computer test.

    Yes it has spark, cuel, compression and it does fire. I drive it everyday back and forth to work. The car was making a rattling noise around the front valve cover the day before it quite running. I was driving and the car lunged forwarded twice and then died.

    There are several possibilities from this description. One is that your timing belt has jumped or broken. You should check that right away, as you can do a lot of damage if you continue to try to start it with the belt jumped or broken.

1991 Dodge stealth ES. I heard pop noise while driving front tires locked up Wheels won't turn more than a couple revolutions in forward or reverse or neutral and neither direction.

Question edited for clarity.
Question moved from Ford to Dodge Stealth.

Pops normally come from engines. Does the engine still run? If not, the gearbox has locked up. It is very puzzling.

I want to know if the timing belt need to be replace the valve will be bad

Yes, the double overhead cam and turbo engines are interference type.
So if the timing belt broke while the engine was running, the valves could be damaged.

I have a 1991 dodge stealthr/t twin turbo it backfires through the intake and exhaust a mechanic at the dealer said it is running lean and doesn't have a good reading on the down steam o2 sensor I

Here is what you need to try. When a car gets a lean signal from an O2 sensor it means there is more air than it should have. The general perception is that there is too little gas.

This means you have a leak in the intake gasket or one of the vacuum lines or vacuum solenoids. You can try spraying a water mist from a handheld spray bottle on the running egine. If the engine stalls or Rpm drops, you have found the leak.

Now I see that this is a Dual Turbo. Sometimes there is valving or "Gates" inside the turbo that regulate airflow. If the gate sticks, or carbons up, it will not shut down the Turbo and you will get too much airflow past the O2 sensor.

Having a backfire through the intake and exhaust indicates something is sticking and an engine valve is carbonned up and failing to close. You need to systematically test the items I have mentioned. The more difficult test would be a compression test to see if the valves are sealing.

1992 dodge stealth valve adjustment

If the lifters [automotive repair industry term] or hydraulic lash adjusters [actual terminology], which are ment to maintain the correct distance between the valve train components is bleeding off oil within the adjuster, it must be replaced. The only thing that can be done is to replace them. I would suggest replaceing all 24 [dual overhead cam engine type], if you are in there doing that, you may as well replace the valve stem seals as well... and believe me, its alot of work, ive done it..
