Ok guys, I'll give you a rundown of what happened first, so you aren't confused and you can give better solutions.
In December, my timing belt snapped. Got it fixed, it ran perfectly when the belt was put back on, idled fine, etc. When I drove it home, it was fine until the hill right before my turn. It was acting like it had no power, stumbling, whatever you want to call it. Figures, given my luck with cars. Anyways, it would still start at that point, albeit with almost no power, really rough idle, etc. Well, changed the plugs the next day, number one looked like it was soaked in oil, but it didn't smell like oil, smelled like gas. Well, finished putting the plugs in, didn't fix the problem. So I figured, well maybe it's the plug wires? I took it home (and it still started and drove back over here, about 5 miles), and parked it. The next day, I tried to start the car, nothing. It's trying to turn over, but won't go any further than cranking over. It sounds like it's trying to fire, but no fire, you know what I mean? Anyways, went and got wires, put them in, and still, won't start. Now I'm lost and trying to figure out what the hell is going on with it. Could the belt have slipped off? Is it the coil? Something else that I'd not thought about? Please help guys, I have some money right now to get it fixed, but I need my car back. The truck that I borrowed from the family isn't exactly nice on gas (86 F-250 5.0 ATX).
BTW, my car is a 1998 GL Zetec 2.0, 141k, ATX, and the check engine light has been on since the belt snapped in december.
