When I go to start my car all it does is crank, The alternator and timing belt don't go nowhere

 

Is the motor actually cranking, or is the starter just making the whirring sound?

 

Timing belt... we have a timing chain... do you mean the fan belt that connects all the pullies together? Sounds like Project85 is thinking the same think I am- the starter solenoid isn't kicking in. You could replace just the solenoid but it might be more cost-effective to replace the whole starter.

 

I just got a new starter b4 I swapped engines, The starter was in the old engien and sat for 4 months. The engine cranks, We might think that the cam broke in half.

 

how does a cam break in half in our engines?

 

I don't know, That's what my uncle said, We are gonna check the flywheel today

 

Last month i saw 2 60* V6's with snappped camshafts. They were approx. 1997 model and both used the (now discontinued) hollow camshaft. Poor design by GM. One of the cars still ran on 3 cylinders though because it had DIS.

I'm sure it could happen in our cars but i doubt it.

 

did the bodies magically morph into geo metro or festivas? 3cy suck except for bikes, snowmobiles & jetskis.
