Re: 91 Lumina sudden death

One quick way to find out is to remove the left (front) rocker cover and observe the valve action while you manually turn the engine forward and backward - If you can. If none of them are moving, it could be a chain, If some of them are moving, it's likely a snapped camshaft.
