ok.. this is the situation, he took it to get looked at, they said it was the timing belt, replaced it and still won't start. guy said that it was a valve . but the car would still start if it was the valve right? any ideas?

um...dude...dsm's are interference motors, if he broke a timing belt, he most likely bent some valves, and isn't getting compression in 1 or more cylinders, which could have a hand in the car not starting
