I HAVE A 97 ACCORD LX THE TIMING BELT BROKE .. IT DIDNT BREAK UNDER STRESS (WHILE AT IDLE) IS THERE A CHANCE THAT IT DIDNT DAMAGE IT OR IS IT TOAST ? THIS CAR WAS THE NORMAL EVERYDAY DRIVER..

Str8EJ

yes, interference.
most newer hondas (recall the v6 being an exception) are.

There is a chance you will be ok, normaly bends valves but have seen some people get lucky. If you need to get it fixed PM me.

i busted a timing belt on my d15b7 last year, running about 50mph up the hill near shell on timberlake....threw another on, not a single problem.....of course ebing a d15..the dam cam lobes prolyl wont big enough to make the valves hit...lol

If it was at idle, there shouldn't have been enough force from the pistons to bend anything. Valves are pretty strong, but it's easy to bend them if there is any load/rpm on the engine, pistons carry enormous forces.
You should be fine.

I put the timeing belt in lined it up and got the car running.. then went on a test drive . did great.... went to drive it to work and it shut down.. cranks but wont start.. checked to see if its geting fire .. it is tryied to see if its geting fuel to the injectors.. it is ... but it sounds like its not geting fuel.. is there a injector relay or a way to check the ohms in the injectors to see if its geting a signal?

Are you sure you lined everything up, check to see if the timing belt has anymore play then it did when u installed it, maybe it skipped a tooth. You got a weird problem here man.
