I was on the freeway coming home and it just quit. The timing belt is still good. What could it be?

. Check for codes--it could easily be a bad Camshaft Position Sensor or Crankshaft Position Sensor.

. Check all under hood and under dash fuses with a test light or multimeter.

My husband checked the sparkplugs but it is not getting any spark. What could it be?

When we got it home we noticed that the camshaft would not turn. Does this mean a new engine is needed? What would cause this?

Broken timing belt?
