I need the timing diagram for the timing belt on a
Don't know where you are located but discount parts stores carry repair manuals that have the diagram (figure) to illistrate the alignment notches to time the timing belt. Also, some Libraries have on line access to save you money on purchasing a manual. Manuals are handy to have on all vehicles one owns to fix lots of problems for a do it yourselfer.

I have
the spark comes from spark plugs.and spark plug gets power from the cil pack.you will have to get both the things checked.if the coil is not providing the sufficient voltage it can be faulty coil pack other wise spark plug needs to be replaced.
There are 6 coil packs on top of your engine, 3 on each side. They are black square units with one plug going to them, and two bolts holding them down. Remove the bolts and pull the coils out. The spark plugs are underneath. You will need a spark plug socket and an 8 inch extension to get them.
to remove and replace the spark plugs
First label each spark plug wire with a piece of tape or tag indicating which hole it attaches to. This is very important because you might mix up the firing order otherwise! Next, disconnect the negative terminal on your battery so you don't shock yourself. To remove the wires, grab each by the boot and pull firmly outward. They should pop off of the plugs. Sometimes they are a pain but try not to **** them back and forth too much or pull by the wires themselves because you can break a wire and the harness kits aren't cheap.
After the wire is removed, use a socket wrench with a sparkplug socket to unscrew each plug. Plug sockets have a rubber seat that protects the socket but you can get by with a normal socket, just be careful not to damage your new plugs when you replace them. I'm not sure exactly what size but there are generally only 2 different sizes that most cars use. Getting to all the plugs with a socket wrench can be an acrobatic feat on a V8 so try different size extensions and ones with varying angles if available.
Buy new plugs and a gapping tool. Ask your auto shop what the proper gap is for your vehicle and carefully bend the flat metal strip on each spark plug to the proper gap size. A good trick to get a spark plug started in the hole properly and not misthread it is to stick a 6" piece of rubber tubing over the end and use it to start turning the plug in the hole. If you misthread it, the rubber will slip and you won't screw up your entire head. Tighten each spark plug firmly with the socket but not so tight you break the threads out. Finally, replace the wires. When you start your car if it jerks around like crazy, you screwed up the firing order and you'll have to switch the wires around.
This will help. Thanks please keep updated. please do rate the solution positively .thank you for using fixya.
Timing
Go to autozone.com and sign up. They have a free repair guide that should cover your car and give detailed directions on changing the timing belt. Good Luck
Was driving the car, and
most likely it isnt a theft issue. This is a common problem. You will have to ramp the sensor while cranking. Put a meter on the center wire which is the signal to the computer. You should have a pulse with meter set on 12 volts or so. Be sure you have the meter ground wire grounded also
If no pulse
Then make sure one of the outside wires has 5 volts and the other outside wire is grounded. If ok then sensor is bad. If you don't know how to test this sensor you will need a shop to do it for you. If you dont have 5 volts on either wire or a ground you may have a pcm or pcm fuse issue. A component like an injector could of shorted it out. This is why it pays to have someone diag it for you. It could get expensive if you get it wrong.
Was driving the car, and it just quit, now there
If there is fuel and no spark,
then either the anti-theft unit is on and blocking signal, or the crank shaft position sensor is bad. To find this sensor, follow spark plug wires to coil packs/module and from here directly to crank sensor. You can test crank sensor with an ohmmeter to see if it is faulty.
These are all the main components that deliver spark to engine.

Serpentine belt needs to be replaced
You need to draw yourself a picture before you take the old belt off. You dont mention which engine you have. Check GATES.com on the web, they have belt routing pictures.
My car is not getting fire the coil is fine and
Possible cause: failed pulse pickup. This device is located inside the distributor and are not uncommon failures.
If you have a multimeter, you can measure at the thin leads coming out of the distributor on the Ohms scale.
Disconnect and measure across them.
They will typically have ~1,000 Ohms resistance but could be higher and still be OK.
If it measures very low (<10Ohms) or very high (10,000 Ohms) the coil is defective and these are normally separately replaceable.
If you need to replace it; 'shop' it, the prices are all over the map on this thing.
Spirit ignition pickup
Where is the voltage regulator located
If it isn't the internal type that's inside the alternator, look for a square type box usually mounted on either one of the inner fender wells. Most of them are on the passenger side.
Where is the fuel filter located on my 1992 Dodge
It should be under your car just in front of your fuel tank recessed into a hole... You'll need to turn off your fuel pump by pulling the fuse under the hood and running the car until it dies so it gets rid of the fuel in the line.. then disconnect each end of the hose from the filter and let any excess fuel drain into a pan... the remove the filter and reverse directions....
