ok so heres the deal, while driving back from ISU, i got off 55 onto queenwood and pushed the clutch in to stop. well the Z died there and wouldnt start back up. i tried jumpstarting it twice and it did nothing but tick. so i rolled on down the hill and tried to pop the clutch, still nothing. so i had the car towed to a shop here in town, knieps, and are having them check it out. all the interior/exterior lights and stereo and stuff work so im guessing its not the battery. when you turn the key, it just ticks and doesnt turn all the way over. im having a pretty good feeling this is a bad fuel pump problem. have any of you had this problem? if this is indeed a fuel pump problem, i would like to buy a fuel pump for cheap. if i end up having the shop do it, it will take 2 weeks and cost me like $600 and i dont want to do that (again). so if anybody has a fuel pump laying around that will fit a '91 300zx, let me know. thanks.

How many teeth is "a bunch?" Whether or not your engine is damaged depends highly on how far the engine rotated ahead of the cam. If I am picturing this correctly, the belt continued to move while the cam gear did not, hence the missing teeth. If this is the case, and the rest of the timing belt looks OK, I would definitely look into why the cam abruptly stopped.
