The "Timing belt" (or chain) turns the cam shaft. If it is broken, the cam shaft won't turn, and the valves do not move. If the valves do not move, the engine will not start. EVER!
You can pump in all the starting fluid in the world, and your engine will not run. It may EXPLODE from all the ether you sprayed into it, but it will not run.
If the engine DOES actually run when you use starting fluid, then the problem is NOT the timing belt.
If a timing belt breaks ( regardless of which manufacturer built the engine ), the engine will not start because the intake and exhaust valves won't open and close when required.
your explorer has a timing chain, not a belt ! no it won,t start if the chain breaks regardless what you try ! don,t try to start it because it might bend the valves, if it has not already ! the chain probably did not break, just slipped !
I wouldn't try it because once its broken and you keep trying to start it , it will ruin the whole engine.... replacing the engine costs a lot
yeah but, it will most likely start only once.
No. Ford Explorers have timing chains, not belts. And still "no"
