I have a 96 Honda civic that was driving fine no problems. All of th sudden lost power and would not start. When you turn the key it sounds like it wants to turn over but then dosnt. Friend looked at it and said possibly timing belt or fuel filter? Any ideas thanks.

 

The "it cranks but won't start" checkout drill has been posted here so many times I'm not going t repeat it.

Common reasons for sudden death on the road are stripped timing belt, blown ignition coil, or bad ignition switch.
