Symtoms of a Broke Timing BVelt or Chain on a 2003 Sunfire

[bandit1978]

Just wondering..if the belt/chain broke..would that keep the starter from engaging the flywheel?..

No, but it might prevent the engine from being able to turn over if the pistons are hitting open valves

You should have a timing chain. A bad starter or flywheel will cause a no engage condition.
