:eek: whew.

What year is your car?

It seems English isn't your native language so it's a bit difficult to understand your post. Perhaps post your country and location and see if someone here speaks your language?

If your crank isn't rotating...that's very very bad :(

You might be better off with a used engine?

Good Luck.

Let me try:
The car doesn't start so you suspected the battery and brought it to an electrical person that works on car's electrical systems. That guy diagnosed it as being mechanical and possibly something to do with the crankshaft and timing chain.

First off, jump your car from another car to make sure it's not a weak battery. See if it turns over at all. If it doesn't, check your starter and relay. If it turns over but doesn't start, check your ignition to to see if you are getting spark. Also check your fuel to make sure you are getting fuel and that your fuel pump isn't dead. Take out your back seat and listen at rear passenger bottom side for the fuel pump when you start the car.

Worst case scenario would be that you have jumped a tooth or two on the timing belt causing it not to be in correct timing and possibly having some bent valves. This could also cause it not to start. The mechanic should be able to pull off the valve cover and check the timing chain.
