The timing belt syncs everything in your motor to work at the same time, the spark plug ignites, the turns the piston, then turns the cam then turns the transmission...all have a certain timing that each one needs to take place and if that is out of whack your car won't work properly, timing belts should be changed every 50k miles. most likely won't be able to do it on your own because the engine mounts need to me removed in order to get a new belt on and you need a timing light as well. Spend the 400 - 500 bucks to have someone do it, if it breaks it could cost around 1200
DISCONNECT YOUR BATTERY AND RECONNECT, THIS SHOULD RESET THE BRAIN.
ALSO...WHEN YOU TURN THE KEY, LISTEN TO HEAR IF YOU CAN HEAR THE FUEL PUMP COME ON...IF NOT, GUESS WHAT? HOPEFULLY NOT!... BUT,YOU MAY NEED TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP, IF YOU CAN'T HEAR IT WHEN YOU TURN THE KEY, AFTER YOU'VE RESET THE BATTERY!
First try getting a boost. It could be just a low battery. The starter takes much more power than everything else together. If you have already tried that, or it doesn't help, try shorting out the starter with a screwdriver. If it works , your ignition switch could be faulty, or the neutral switch for the shiter.
while the belt is off, engine off, check for a frozen pulley-except for the crankshaft, one is probably locked up or makies a lot of noise/wobbles when turned by hand.. Also, look at the pulleys and see if they 'line up' by looking at them from the side.
