Car wont start this morning?

It turned over, then almost cought... I went to start it again, and I get this weird starter sound, and it kicks back when I back off from starting.

SUNOFA! I ended up riding my bike to work this morning on a nice cool 34deg morning.

Anything else I should check out?

It turns the accessory drive when it cranks over.. So I'm going to pull a plug and check for spark. Also ordered the harness for the coilpack as mine is corroded... I think the timing belt came off. I will pull the timing cover tonight or tomorrow and see. Man, I wish I was still at my parents house with all my tools. Replacing a timing belt in my Apt. Parking lot is going to suck.

THIS SUCKS! It only has 60k on it.

To see if it's the t-belt, pull the oil cap and watch the exhaust cam while a friend cranks it. if it doesn't turn with the engine, the belt is shot.

Good call. I will do that.
