How to find out what causes engine to misfire? I changed the timing belt on my 02 Honda Odyssey EX now misfir?

After I replaced the timing belt and put everything back I cranked the engine and it started to misfire. I then took everything a part and found a tooth off on rear camshaft. I reset the timing marks and put everything back together but the engine is still misfiring. Any suggestion what could be going on with it? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!!

I would double check those timing marks again.

Timing on this car has to be right on the money. However a bad wire, plug, coil pack can all cause a miss fire.
It sounds like your a tooth off on your timing belt and not the distributor.

How do you know if the timing belt on a 2000 Mitsubishi Galant has been changed?

I am looking to buy this car, which is a 2000 Galant. The car has had two owners and the second owner (the person I am trying to buy the car from) does not know if the timing belt was changed before he bought it. The car has 106,xxx miles on it. The engine size is 3.2 liters and its a V6 engine. Hope you can help.

Really, it's not possible to know unless you do it yourself (or pay for a mechanic to have it done).



Highly recommend you get it done if you purchase the car. The Galant (with a DOHC) all had an interference fit engine so if the belt breaks, you'll be looking at valve damage and major engine repairs.

You might need to lower the engine a little. You might be in a bind having too high. Then after bolts come out raise back up. Play with the engine height. You might need to go higher too.

Sorry dude, I hope you get it! I had one of those that I had in the shop, and $600 later, I had a new timing belt. Stupid foreigners. haha
You said you got the engine as high as you could. Well now it's to high. I wish you could take a picture and send it or post it that would help alot. Lower the engine not to low not to high then the bolts will be free to move. But I can't tell with out looking at a picture. I hope you measure how much the tensoner piston has extended when your done installing it.
They dont come off they are a part of that engine mount. Ask me how i kno... cause my bolts atualy broke off!!! and i have to replace the whole engine mount bracket. :((

    Does anyone know how to change the timing belt on a 1994 Honda Civic Si?

    I have a 1994 Honda Civic Si and I need to change the timing belt but I don't know how, does anyone have any advice or know a website that I could look it up on w/o having to buy a book?

    It's real easy if you have the tools, first you'll need a crank pulley wrench if not use a chain wrench to hold the pulley while you remove the bolt. Once you got the bolt off loosen the belt tensioner then slide the belt off, now reverse and done, you can go to hondahookup.com and reg to be a member and download there manuals.

    Big job. You really need the book. Maybe the library has one. Every car is different and the timing is very important. If you do it wrong it won't run. Get the book, it will show you how to fix a lot of other things also.

    Do 2001 a4 audis need their timing belt changed after 100k miles?

    I'm thinking about buying 2001 audi a4 with 92k miles

    for $5900, this will be my first car

    is it true that almost every audi a4s need to get their timing belt changed at 100k miles?
    Do 2001 a4 audis need their timing belt changed after 100k miles?
    All timing belt equipped cars need the timing belt replaced between 60,000 and 100,000. Call an Audi dealership and ask them the specific mileage for that one. Any shop can do the work.

    Should I really change the timing belt at 35K miles?

    I drive a 2002 Hyundai Elantra, with 35,000 miles on it. The dealer in Sunnyvale recently recommended that I get my timing belt and AC belt replaced. I took the car to a local guy, Habelt's on Irving Street in San Francisco, and that guy told me not to replace it just yet. He said 60,000 miles is the standard, regardless of chronological age.



    Should I go ahead and get it done (for $600 or so) or should I wait until the mileage gets closer to 60K?
    Should I really change the timing belt at 35K miles?
    What is the manufacturers recommendation (check your owners manual)? Lots of less than reputable dealers and Jiffy lube type shops try to con drivers into having this done early because of the profit they make. I think you will find you do not need to do this for quite a while.

    I think the dealor is trying to upsell you on service. I took my CRV to Serramonte Honda - they recommended a rear differential fluid flush at 60k. I turned it down and read the manual, which says it should be done at 90k.



    They will cheat us if they can.



    $600.00 seems like about 3x too much for the timing belt change. You should hunt around...and check your manual for the actual mileage recommended by the manufacturer. Many cars are 90k for the timing belt.
    it says 35000 miles but its a second hand and you don't know if the belt is new or an old one or where it came from. 60000 miles is the range to change but it would be wiser if you change it and start a fresh count. because if the belt breaks $600 sounds very cheap to the damage it will do.
    Wait until it gets to 60k and it should cost no more than 400 to 450 dollars. I just bought a used one the same as yours for my son and I have done much research on this. Problem with mine is I don't know whether to trust the guy who sold it to me and said that it had been changed at 60k. I might just have to eat it and fork out the 400 and be safe rather than sorry!
    THE CHOICE IS UP TO YOU REALLY, IF YOU ARE THE ORIGINAL OWNER WAIT TILL 60,000 MILES.



    IF THE CAR IS SECOND HAND THEN YES BUT.....



    TRY FINDING AN INDEPENDENT SHOP INSTEAD OF THE DEALER OR A CHAIN STORE BECAUSE YOU WILL BE OVERALL MORE PLEASED WITH THE FINDINGS AND THE SERVICE.
