- First of all, thank to all of you who responded on net or via e-mail.
- They were all very useful as I will be replacing my timing belt even
- though it's not broken!

- Well, in my spare time, I started working on the belt. First I wanted
- to make sure that the belt was not working. So I opened the
- distributor cap and then started the car. The rotar didn't turn
- indicating that the cam shaft is not turning. I was quite sure that
- the problem is with the timing belt. So when I opened it up, the
- timing belt was intact, and everything looked fine. i started the car
- again, and this time I noticed that the crank shaft is not turning.
- Now, there could be many reasons for that such as the engine freezing
- on me. Does anyone have any words of advice? Any other possibilities?
