Good evening i have a 2014 Fiesta ST new to the brand i have my car for a month, about 2hours ago i drove my car and it was perfect no issues was driving great as usual. I was in 3rd gear and all of a sudden the car died no indication or what so ever i pulled over and i tried starting but with no luck it just swing as if theres no compression and new timing belt was fitted few weeks ago. Only the engine light and coolant light shows on the dash, no overheating or any leaks. Any idea what the issue could be?

Who did the Belt? Also...does it turn over/fire at all and just won't completely start? Or nothing? No click...not turn over etc?

Is there a Check engine/ MIL light on? Are there any stored codes?

Belt could have jumped teeth, crankshaft position sensor could have moved or they failed to calibrate after belt change, could have already been off just a tooth or so and you fucked up the internals cuz its an interference engine... Just spit balling here but all would lead to dead in the water and no start.

coolant and engine light come on when you press start button and don't start. They also stay on momentarily after starting the vehicle as part of the cars self check programming. These are normal lights to see in your current state. The only way you can see that a CEL is throwing codes is if you can get the car on or have a code reader with it not started.
