Re: 93 metro xfi no spark issues

Wow, there have been an unusual number of timing belt failures lately.

This is where I'd peek first, If I were you. Another member had a great idea: if you just remove your top two timing belt cover bolts, you can peel it back enough to glance down at the cam sprocket to see if there's anything around it.

You won't get a code with a broken timing belt. Do what caprice said. It will only take you 5 minutes.

Re: 93 metro xfi no spark issues

...yeah it's pretty painless, but just for future reference; there is a raised fuse slot in the box under the dash on the driver side. Stick a fuse in that raised slot, and turn the ignition on and the check engine light (CEL) will flash the code(s) for you.
