Probably an igniter or ignition coil, i believe most of our cars have internal igniters, I thought I ran out of gas, and I had already done the main relay (trouble starting when hot outside). I tried spraying ether into the intake and it still wouldn't start. Towed it to honda, found out it was the igniter. It was snowing outside (in seattle) when it happened too if that makes a difference.

And how is it locked up when the engine cranks "cam moves" but doesnt start?

[batever]

automatic tensioners have been known to fail

Thanks for the info but what does that have to do with the OP?

I think he meant the tensioner pulley, not the tensioners per se. If it seizes, the timing belt will break.

if it was cranking then no, your engine was not locked up.

i hope you really did your homework otherwise you may have condemned your CB prematurely.

In Seattle area, there was a huge deal about bad fuel getting through, n it was fucking up a good number of cars, same story, even though locked up engine n cams spinning is a lil off the wall
