The belt is worn out and is disintegrating. It has probably jumped time. The reason the engine won't start. Depending on your car, Some engines are no tolerance. Meaning if you keep cranking it and the belt breaks, the pistons can slap the valves, bending or breaking them. Replace the belt.
either the cranking amps on the battery are low or the regulator is intermittent, meaning it is charging then once it warms up it stops charging. I would replace the alternator. Hope this helps Tim
TIMMING IS OUT DO NOT DRIVE IT IS AN INTERFEARANCE ENGINE
YOU WILL DESTROY IT IF YOU DO NEED TO REPLACE TIMMING BELT
AND READJUST VALVE TO CANK TIMMING IT HAS JUMP A TOOTH OR TWO
3 things must happen to engine start

compression dont know
if compression to low extremly hard to start

when cranking engine is there pressure at the exhaust -- if not disconect to test
if all this is ok
check timming maybe chaine hase jump a few teeth that will make a no start
ussually backfires when it jumps
if the car is back firring the timming is off, which means the timming belt might have jumped. you could have a tentioner going bad and that could be the cause or you might be do for a timming belt, for that modle car they say you should do the timming belt every 60,000. that is where i would start.
#1 are you sure it jumped time?#2 how do you know this? if in fact it has jumped time you will need to have the timing belt replaced.the average interval for replacement is 60,000-80,000.it is also a good idea to replace the water pump at the same time as it is driven by the timing belt.
you need to check your fuel pressure could be not enough or to much or your plugs are fouled are you sure the timming did not jump how many miles are on it?
