no it wont be the timing belt. They are pre-tensioned so no worries there. As far as timing belts go, they are either ok, or snapped, the latter meaning your car aint going nowhere! | |

Check inlet manifold gasket is not blown - prone on these engine to go - if suspect spray wd40 around suspect area and revs will increase if gasket blown!!! | |

i had a simular problem with my corsa b all it was was the heat sensor/thermostat was reading the wrong temp and sending wrong readings to ECU and the injectors were flooding the engine! just changes the thermost chip and it was fine after that! try that mate! | |

With your engine ticking over pull the pipe of the MAP sensor and put your finger over the end and you will feel it sucking | |
