an alternator went out on my 2005 MDX with 240k last week on the highway. I fixed it and when doing so noticed the belt was stretched out and had a very slight tear on one part. Today the belt broke. Replaced. Now no start. cranks. Has spark. I was not driving when it died but the wife said it just suddenly died.
It is not even acting like its turning over - just a smooth silent kind of crank. I've not experienced anything like this before. Just a "whirl" no sound whatsoever. Everything is moving fine.
I did replace the timing belt just a few thousand miles ago. It's been running great since that time and it was perfectly timed.
I can't hear the fuel pump but it's pretty windy at the moment. I do smell fuel. I cranked it while spraying starting fluid in it and nothing.
Relays? could the breaking belt have hit something? I don't see anything obvious but it seems strange that the belt snapped and now this. How can it be unrelated?
Thoughts?
