It was driving fine then all of a sudden it died. It cranks over pretty strong but wont fire up. Its not getting spark for some reason. Im just looking for somewhere to start. It could be a number of things. Timing belt????
 
To check timing belt:Remove oil cap and using a flashlight, peer inside while a buddy cranks. You should see movement of the valve train. if not the belt is broke.
 
If it died all of a sudden you might want to check your altenator and make sure it's still working and that you weren't running off your battery before your car died. Your timing belt wouldn't be a cause, you would know if that was any problem. Check your spark plugs, sometimes oil, dirt can get down in the chambers and cause spark plugs to fail. Or try checking your spark plug wires for any damage, rarer to be cause unless major overheating happened.
