also, sometimes mine will crank and crank but not start until you gently kick the fuse box. lol
I need to clean up some of the connections, I just haven't yet. but usually a shake of the wires going in the back of the fuse box gets me going in a second or two.
same with my headlights not working.
That's somewhat how I'd describe what happened to me. Came to a stop, and the engine cut out/off. What should I check on the timing belt, if it's actually gone wrong?

I'll gently kick the fuse box as well, for giggles in this disappointing situation.
