How can you tell if it's the timing belt gone bad on a 1993 Toyota Camry?

if it was the timing belt you would hear that annoying rubbing/buzzing noise they make when your car tries to turn over.
 
My car just cut off and would not restart. It sounds like it wants to start but doesn't. I have replaced the distributor, rotor, and cap. I had the alternator checked. It does not get any spark when tested. Is it the timing belt or possibly what else?
 
IT'S A SPARK PROBLEM!!!!

If you don't have spark that makes it an ignition problem, not a belt problem. A broken T-belt is not going to cause ignition failure.

if it was the timing belt then it would backfire and also hard turning over. you say no spark? check the coil and module. they can go without any warning.
 
By removing the valve cover have someone bump the starter switch. If the camshafts don't turn the timing belt is broken.
