Timing belt
Hey again... I wrote you on the 11th of May, in regards to the crankshaft positioning sensor... well I've done some checking, and the crankshaft sensor is not working.. So now I'm thinking it could be the timing belt...
Does this make sense to you? Thanks again Greasemonkey for your time in advance! K.Dolen |

Yes, a broken timing belt could explain the sudden death of your engine. Remove the oil filler cap and see if the camshaft rotates, as a friend cranks the starter motor. If the camshaft doesn't rotate, the timing belt broke or the tensioner pulley came loose. This would be a disaster, since this is an interference engine and the pistons and valves would collide. |

If the timing belt is fine, replacing the Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor is no big deal. It does, however, require removing the crankshaft pulley bolt, harmonic damper, and lower timing belt cover. The CKP Sensor is just to the right of the crankshaft pulley. Here's the complete write-up on replacing the timing belt and CKP Sensor: https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/cars-t...ml#post2772415 If the timing belt didn't break, and your engine is approaching 90,000 miles or 6 years since it was last done, then this is a good time to replace it. |

Camshaft broken
Hey Greasemonkey...
Well the good news is... the timing belt is fine, but the end of the camshaft, where the timing belt pully is bolted on... has BROKEN OFF... Does the 2001 honda civic have pushrods or hydraulic lifters, or both? Yes I am planning on replacing belts while I've got this thing ripped apart!! Thanks again for your time! K. Dolen |

It sounds like the pistons and the valves collided, when the timing belt slipped. When everything got jammed-up, the camshaft pulley was ripped off the camshaft. It may be cheaper and easier to install a new engine. It's an OHC engine--no pushrods or hydraulic lifters. |
