NO START update....

hey guys. i wrote a few days back about how my metro had ABSOLUTELY no response and terrible idle and then died, refusing to start. that was a few days back, and today i went out to start it and it took a minute but did start. it idled TERRIBLY for about 20 seconds and then died, refusing to start again. does this tell anyone anything?? thanks in advance.

yep it sounds like the timing belt is shot, mine did the same thing.
You should look at it to be sure.

well i didn't think it was the timing belt because the rotor was spinning in the distributor, unless it is still on just a little bit. not sure, but i will check it out. thanks.
