  post locked   89 camry problem...any ideas?  

89 Toyota Camry 4 door --
2.0l 4 cylinder
about 150K miles

Was driving my car... Then the engine just died.. Pulled over... and never could restart it...

My friend who is decent @ cars said it was a timing belt...

Well looking underneath my hood.... I noticed that oil had been sprayed around the engine..i see it on the hoses, and it looks pretty fresh/wet looking.....

I took a look through a crack of the side panel when we got it loose enough to peak inside.....and could see the timing belt, and while my friend tried to start the car, i could see the belt was spinning, and seemed to be still intact..

so it doesn't look like i lost my belt(i think?)... but definitely something is wrong ...

Any Ideas?

The fact that it moves doesn't mean anything. Taking a complete compression test would be the best way to find out if there is a belt problem.



edit: I am locking this question because it appears to be a duplicate. One question is sufficient..
