auto tensioner failer
1998 Honda Prelude auto tensioner fail and the car died. I replaced the auto tensioner , water pump, timing belt and balancer belt and pulleys. Now it will not even turn over. I bump the starter solenoid and no spark to the plugs. Do you think the CKP/TDC sensors are bad. any help would be thankful. stan

are you sure valves were not damaged when the tensioner failed? Did it turn over initially after replacing the tensioner? Do you have the proper means to do diagnostics? Check engine lights? Have you checked for stored codes? Did you set timing correctly? Firing order?
There is a lot of essential information that is missing.

No tears. Only dreams, now.
Re: auto tensioner failer
My tensioner failed last week, and it had no issues driving or running, save for the horrendous fluttering noise coming from inside the timing cover. What you're describing sounds a hell of a lot worse than a timing tensioner issue. You will likely need to get the car professionally diagnosed, as you could have snapped a belt, damaged the head, etc.
