I was starting my car and it spit and sputtered then the engine stopped. When I went to start it again, I heard a sound that made me believe my timing chain broke and the starter just spun real fast. I did some research and some one said it might be grounding issues instead of a timing chain break....any thoughts before I tear the engine apart? Thank you.

open your oil cap have some one turn the car over if the cam is movin the timing chain is not broke also the stater could be defective

I just went through this as well man what happens when you bump ignition don't crank for long just short pulses

Timscar

Wow. great advise. I did that and it moved. That made me look elsewhere and boy do I feel dumb. My positive cable was loose. Tightened it and started right up. Im no mechanic but I thought I had a great understanding of my car, but...anyway thank you all. Problem solved.
