doesn't start? 1995 Audi 90 Also doesn't start I think it doesnt start cause alternator or v belt went. i bought it off a guy who said it stalled when he was driving but ran fine before. now it doesn't run. I put dry gas in the tank to get water out just in case

Sounds like the timing belt slipped or broke. You need to check to see if your spark timing is set properly. If it`s off then most likely a belt issue
