A timing belt will cause other damage if it broke. Do a compression check to see if any valves were bent and are now open if the valves do not have any compression. If all cylinders have compression, then the timing chain did not break. Note, my 2002 Saturn L100 had a broken timing chain and 3 of 4 cylinders did not have compression. My solution was to have someone install a used engine.

Steve, You can find information at several web sites. One is All Data but they will charge you for each individual vehicle but Auto Zone will provide most vehicles for free.
Good luck.

Trouble starting, engine won't catch

Try pulling the engine coolant temp sensor, They often crack not sure why but the ceramic tip cracks makes the car hard to start, the car's idle may race while shifting gears, and often smokes. The sensor is on the right side of the engine when looking at it on the head. Easy to change and get too
