06 lancer, just quit while turning a corner, while spinning over it sounds like no compression, just kinda spinning, is there a timing belt that may have broke? or this cam position sensor thing, would that have some thing to do with it?? spins over funny!

Sounds like timing may be off. Recheck your procedure. Did you change the timing belt?

I would start by putting crankshaft to the zero point on scale-TDC on the compression stroke. Crankshaft will be at zero, TDC, twice; on the compression stroke and on the exhaust stroke. To find the compression stroke, pull the spark plug on number 1, with finger over hole, turn crank by socket until you feel pressure against your finger. Now turn the crank (clockwise) until it is at the zero mark-TDC of compression stroke. Pull off the distributor cap-rotor should be pointing at number 1 plug wire tower-Is it?
If good so far, look for inspection rubber plug to check camshaft timing mark on cam sprocket, OR pull the valve cover off and check the number 1 cylinder camshaft lobes that open the valves-both lobes, intake and exhaust, should be away from the valves. Valves should both be closed on number 1.
Post back with what you find. Good luck.

Valves are blown or timing belt skipped a gear. Get a compression tester.

sounds like your timing belt broke

ck compression probley bent valves

Sounds like a Timing chain or gear issue to me too. But check the Starter drive gear and Flywheel teeth. What bothers me is that all cylinders are dead without 1 cylinder creating drag on the compression or power stroke. It seems a little funny that 1 cylinder does not have all valves closed out of 4 cylinders.

I envision the Starter spinning without the motor turning and this can happen if the Starter Bendix stripped or the Flywheel stripped. You would have zero compression. You can put a probe into the cylinder and turn the Crankshaft pulley to determine if the pistons are moving.

Would like to know the outcome of this.

what about the timing belt?if your engine has one it could be broke

Timing belt “B” (balancer belt) and related components—2004–2005 Galant and 2004–2005 Lancer 2.4L engine

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable. Remove the engine under cover.
   
2. Remove the crankshaft damper pulley.
   
3. Disconnect the control wiring harness connector, battery wiring harness connector and connector bracket to engine mounting insulator.
   
4. Remove the harness bracket. Remove the upper timing belt cover. Remove the water pump pulley. Remove the idler pulley.
   
5. Remove the auto tensioner. Remove the lower timing belt cover.
   
6. Turn the crankshaft clockwise and align each timing mark to set the number one piston to TDC of its compression stroke.
   
7. Remove the timing belt under cover rubber plug and then install special tool MD998738. Screw the special tool until it contacts the timing belt tensioner arm.
   
   NOTE The special tool must be screwed in gradually at the rate of a 30 degree turn per second. If it is screwed in all at once, the timing belt tensioner adjuster rod will not easily retract and the tool may bend.
   
   
8. Gradually screw in the special tool and then align the timing belt tensioner adjuster rod set hole “A” with the timing belt tensioner adjuster cylinder set hole “B”.
   
9. Insert a wire or pin in the set holes to lock the assembly in place. After removing the special tool, loosen the timing belt tensioner pulley mounting bolts and remove the timing belt. If the belt is being reused be sure to mark the direction of rotation (clockwise) on the belt.
   
10. Remove the timing belt tensioner pulley, tensioner arm and adjuster.
    
11. Remove the timing belt idler pulley. Remove the timing belt lower cover bracket. Remove the crankshaft position sensor.
    
12. Remove the crankshaft pulley center bolt and washer. Remove the drive sprocket. Remove the crankshaft angle sensing blade.
    
13. Remove the balancer timing belt tensioner. Remove the timing belt “B” (balancer belt) from its mounting.

On a 2002 Lancer, 60000 miles is what suggested by the manufacturer.

when the timing belt broke it also bent the valves,hence the broken rocker arm. pull the head and see the valves are bent

Your Lancer should have a timing belt. There is no grace period on changing them, follow what the manufacturer says. You have a interference engine and should the belt fail while you are driving down the highway engine damage will happen.
