Yes, it is an interference engine. Serious damage has occurred.. sorry!.

You can rotate the cam/crank into a positon that will not move as you remove the old belt, as long as the new belt places the cam/crank in same position as the old belt had them, it don't matter where the timing marks are. Leave your old belt on, rotate to a position that will not move or have tension on belt, (no matter the marks) and replace the belt. Make sure to recheck timing marks after new belt is installed by rotating the crank/cam back to timing marks, or just trust that the belt was replaced without the cam or crank rotated. Easy off, easy on, just make sure the cam/crank are still in time as the old belt had them located. NOTE: timing marks are there in case of a broke belt, or for a car that has jumped time. As long as cam and crank are held in same positon, and car was in time before the procedure, it don't matter where the timing marks are at during belt replacement.

I am not saying that this is your problem for sure, but have you had your water pump and timing belt replaced lately?? I had the same car and it would crank and crank but would not start. I replaced both my cam and crank sensors also. Eventually I tore into it and found out that my timing belt had broke.

What happened to mine is the water pump (inside the timing cover powered by the timing belt) leaked and the coolant messed up my timing belt and the timing belt finally snapped.

I replaced water pump and timing belt and luckly the car did not have any bent valves. Just to help out I would not try and crank the car anymore until you know for sure that your timing belt is intact. If it is bad and you go in to replace it I would do the water pump while you are in there. It will save you trouble and is a really easy job.

Good luck and I hope the best for you!!

NOOOOooooo!!!!
You have the timing off. If you crank the engine you will bend every valve in the head and be looking at $2K in repairs.
What stopped the engine from turning is the valves are hitting the piston.

Timing belt is stripped, time for that. These models generally do not bend valves.

r u sure u or who ever replaced the timing belt....marked it nd put it back on in the right timing position?

You need to find the timing marks on both crank and cam pulleys, set it, then take of the belt ane dont let any pulley move! Put on new belt and set the tension of the belt.

The timing and balance belts are 'wear' items, not covered under warranty unless they fail during the warranty period. How many miles were on the vehicle when the crank sensor was replaced? Did they recommend you replace the timing & balance belts at that time? I assume the damage which occurred happened after the 60,000 mile warranty. If so, the repair is not covered under warranty.
