just found the culprit mr timing belt = no spark and no fuel open up oil cap and no moving parts = timing belt JUST HOPE it has not busted up the motor , fingers x

Yes timing belt busted just waiting for a new one from auto one $45.00 could not get a kit for a few days . I should of been a bit more on the ball and realised that no spark and no fuel output = timing belt , its a older car fuel pump is cam driven , all good was pretty easy to remove all bits to remove belt fingers x no DAMAGE done

Pretty much all A-series engines (you should have a 6AFC) are non-interference, so if the timing belt breaks the valves won't hit the pistons which is normally the big cause for concern with snapped timing belts.
