My niece's car (1997 Tercel) stopped running. The mech she took it to said ignition. So they put a now coil pack (?) x2. Plugs, and wires. Did not fix it.

Next it was the fuel pump. Did not fix it.

Now he says it could be a broken timing belt.

Two questions:

Is there anything more likely?

Is there a way to tell if the timing belt is broken that I can tell her over the phone?

Thanks for the help in advance.
