I think that it is EA82 engine. Sounds like your timing belt broke. There are two viewing panels in the front of the engine. Pop them up with a screwdriver. You will be able to see it your belts are good. Or remove the distributor cap and crank the engine. If it does not move - this is belts. If it moves it still might be your driver side belt. Once again you may verify it by looking through the access panels.
Good luck
