2001 GMC Sonoma Engine stopped while driving

It was my timing chain was broke !! It was my timing chain was broke !!

Now it broke down again in 2016 it has been sitting since then, guess what "guides" if you change your timing chain and gears REPLACE your GUIDES. Save money and time.

To check the timing, I'll take it that you don't have a timing lite. Locate your # 1 cylinder remove the spark plug, and put a long thin screw driver into the hole, on the front of the engine there is a large pully at the very bottom this will have a little notch in it,mark the notch with white chalk ,paint,nail polish ect. just above that you will see a piece of metal or plastic with lines and numbers. slowly turn the engine by hand until the screw driver hits the highest point possible, heck it as you turn the engine as it will try to jam in the cylinder, when it is at the top check to see if your mark lines up with the timing mark for your engine. you will find this on a sticker usually on the under side of your hood. if they are close then your timing is close, if they are not close then you will need to rotate the engine one more complete revolution. Remember to rotate the engine by hand during this procedure. If the marks are still not cose then your timing chain , or belt has jumped or stretched. this is roughly a 4 hour job to changeit. If a mechanic shop does the timing belt chek they will charge roughly 1 hours labour. another thing you could try first is to loosen the bolt on your distributor a little bit and turn it in quarter inch increments and then try starting it before you try the first thing. as for the injectors you will want a mechanic to test them. not sure what they will charge for that. By any chance have you checked all of your maxi fuses, they should be locatd under the hood. To check the timing, I'll take it that you don't have a timing lite.
