    Then you have a broken cam shaft. Not uncommon in some civics. I have replaced a couple. Remove front cover, remove valve cover, remove belt, remove cam sprocket. remove hold downs and cam. Good time to replace water pump and belt.

Is it possible for a cam not to turn if the timing belt is not broke on a 97 escort? [ 1 Answers ]

Hello, My escot brokedown, when it quit, it just spit and spudered and died, almost like it was running out of gas, and wouldn't start back up. And it smelled like burning rubber when it quit, so my thought was the timing belt had broke. So I took it to my mechanic, who took off the valve...
