help!!! poorly hgt!!!!

[jim.hgt]

Hi,i have a bravo hgt,1998,which as brought me nothink but trouble!so i am asking for any advice and help to sort this car out,i would be very gratefull. Right the last time this car broke down was when i was on my way home from work,when the bearings in the tensioner pully broke down causeing the fan belt to snap,lucky that i didn't turn her off!! drove another 5 miles home with the car seeming to be running ok,got home home with power still left in the battery turned her off,but she was turning over but wouldn't fire up. Fixed the pully and the belt and still wouldn't start,took the car to fiat speacialist in leciester and they told me it was my cam shaft sensor,ok but only a few weeks before i had both cam and crank sensors done,so i bought another cam shaft sensor,and with my m8 just 2 weeks ago we fitted the sensor,still wouldn't start,check as much as we could,fuses, looked for any traped wires,was only getting a spark from 2 of the coil packs,which looking at the engine starting from the right coil packs 5 and 3 was sparking.That is what i know so far as i am not a mecanic. So if any one can help me i would be very gratefull!!!!!!! thanks james.

Its quite normal for the Aux belt to get dragged under the cam belt when it goes(happened to me).
Normally when this happens it either takes out the cam belt or causes it to skip a few teeth, if the timing is out it will turn over but wont fire. The only thing I do find odd in your situation is that you got it home as mine died instantly.
Either way I would have your timing checked out as I dont think your cam sensors screwed but merely doing its job.

i had a smiliar problem with mine years ago, changed this sensor that sensor and the other. It turnned out to be the bottom pully what the cam belt goes round think its attached to the crank, replaced that fired straight up.

hope this helps
