Re: 2.5 issues, wont start.
sounds like you need to remove the lower timing cover. and take a look. pretty easy job.
10 MM socket and about 10 minutes
Re: 2.5 issues, wont start.
IF you remove the distributor cap the rotor will spin or not. should be a easy way to tell, while in there you can swap out the HEP and probably fix it.
any codes?

Re: 2.5 issues, wont start.
I would look in the timing window to see if the crank is spinning too,
Re: 2.5 issues, wont start.
Bet the bank on the timing belt teeth being sheared off. That is exactly what happens, they shear off often just around crank sprocket. I had a new belt that had less than 3K miles on it let go on my GLHT coming home from a SDAC event. Shut off car on freeway like I turned off key. It sheared 2/3rds or more of the teeth off belt! Whole lower timing belt cover was filled with timing belt teeth. I still don't know exactly why mine did what it did. Just because it is a new belt, doesn't mean it is not a dry rotted 20+ year old "new" belt. I would steer clear of the heavily discounted timing belts on Amazon, EBay, etc. They're cheap anyway paying full retail at your local Mopar dealer or local parts store. Now I make sure when putting on new belts, that they are reasonably fresh as far as manufacturers date.
