Re: Help, Crank but no start
I agree, Woodie. I personally have not had many problems with the coils on these cars, I've had to replace one or two but out of 22 metros with a lot of miles and age, they certainly have not been a problematic component.
Cubano, given your description it's not what I'd call a 'text book' t-belt failure, but it is definitely near the top of the list of things to look at first, right after you look for spark from the coil wire. If no spark, remove your top two timing cover bolts and peel it back to look for a broken timing belt. If you do get spark, conduct a compression test. If your compression numbers are low, look for a dying timing belt (teeth shredding off).
