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

Small help changing my timing belt on my 95 eclipse
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.
Small help changing my timing belt on my 95 eclipse
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?
Does anyone know how to change the timing belt on a 1994 Honda Civic Si?
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.
Should I really change the timing belt at 35K miles?
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.

How do you know its time to change a timing belt on a suzuki forenza 2006?

how do you know its time to change a timing belt on a 2006 Suzuki forenza with 34 miles on it???? What are the signs that its time for a new timing belt
How do you know its time to change a timing belt on a suzuki forenza 2006?
There are no warning signs. Just follow this advice from Suzuki:

The Suzuki Forenza Maintenance Schedule suggests inspecting it at 30,000 mile intervals and replacing it at 60,000 mile intervals.



This car has an interference engine. That means that if the timing belt breaks the engine will suffer severe internal damage and will likely have to be replaced. Replacing the timing belt is rather expensive, but doing so may save you an engine.....



You are not only supposed to check it at 30,000, but it may need to be adjusted. The belt can get loose after it has stretched and it needs to be tightened back up.
How do you know its time to change a timing belt on a suzuki forenza 2006?
It needs to be looked at 30,000 miles and replace at 60,000 miles. Your other belt that runs the fan,AC,and other things should be replace at the same time as they have to take it off to replace the timing belt and could save your some labor costs. Cracked,chiped,or some loose treads are a good sign but not always. A good mechic can tell you if its is time and you are looking at a few hundred bucks to have it done. If you have only 34 miles on your car for a 06 then you got a good deal then.
There are no signs. It just goes in a second. I'm pretty sure you have an 'interference' type engine. Most people do. That means when the timing belt fails, the engine will have major damage and may need replacement.



Every car owner lives with this so don't get too excited. Look in your car manual and be sure the timing belt is replaced exactly at the mileage stated. Not sooner and not later. Also have the water pump and belts replaced at the same time. That's done because they need replacement around the same time as the timing belt and it's cheaper to get the extras done while they have things apart.
Check your owners manual. Sometimes a busted timing belt can damage valves. My 03 neon is 84 months or around 100,000 miles. 30,000 is not right for any car. That's way too soon. My mechanic looked up info on my car.
Timing belts are to be replaced every 30,000 miles to keep the valve train working right.
it will tell you in your service guide and handbook, if not, research on google or wikpedia, engines vary and range from 30,000 to 78,000.

When to change the Timing belt on a Audi TT?

Have a 2002 TT with 50K, should I get the timing belt done now or wait till 75k? I have read some horror stories about the belt breaking causing over $6000 in repairs.
When to change the Timing belt on a Audi TT?
I had an 01TT Quattro Roadster and my shop has done timing belt jobs on them as well. YES, change the timing belt. But I don't think the main problem is timing belt failing. #1 is the water pump and #2 is the tensioner. You usually have some warning with tensioner failure. You'll hear what sounds like a knocking noise, which is the tensioner flopping around because the hydraulic fluid has leaked out. The water pumps are well known to fail prematurely. Audi used plastic impellers in the water pumps. It is very common for those impellers to crack or dissentigrate. When they fall apart, the pieces end up lodged in unknown places. Don't have an OEM water pump with the plastic impeller installed when you have the timing belt done. If the shop doesn't know where to get a water pump with a metal impeller, order it yourself from ECS Tuning. As a matter of fact, order the entire timing belt kit, as it also includes the tensioner. The metal impeller water pumps from ECS are made by the same company that makes the OEM water pump. So, they are exactly the same except for the impeller. Do not get the water pump from the dealer because they still use plastic impellers. My personal TT had about 65K miles when I did the timing belt. The impeller was missing pieces and crumbled when I pressed on it with my thumb. The other TT's we've done timing belt jobs on have all had either cracked impellers or missing pieces. With the new water pump, you'll be good for 75K.
When to change the Timing belt on a Audi TT?
depends, is it belt or chain? If it is actually the normal kind then it is 60k miles, chain lasts up to 100k.



Audi huh? That sucks, it will cost you an arm and a leg.
I have a 2003 Audi A4, the warranty is amazing if it is under or around 50k take it into the shop and get it serviced FREE under warranty, and ask them about the belt. I would also assume that if you don't race your TT every night the timing belt should be fine, depneding on your service rep they might give you a little crap if it's over 51k but just tell them when the last service was and what you are planning %26quot;with your next Audi (just to make them fell better)%26quot; and you should be fine.
You should change it at these intervals. You should get it checked now to see if it is in good shape. If it is in good shape, then wait until 60,000 miles to change it.

60,000 miles

120,000 miles

180,000 miles

240,000 miles
Personally, I would go with 50k intervals. Since the eng. is an interference fit, the price of a belt pales to the cost of engine work, (valves, guides etc.). Not to mention the cost of peace of mind. Good thinking man.
would do it before 70K maybe around 65K. mocowma has some good advise i would buy the kit and have an Audi or German car specialist install it (cheaper than the dealer).
There is no one who can predict when or if your belt will go. You're right. On that car the damage caused by a broken timing belt will be costly. Here's an idea. Change the belt and stop worrying about it for another 50K. The peace of mind is priceless.

What does it men when there is a rattling noise from the timing belt ?

i had my timing belt changed a year ago when i bought the car (2000 hyundai accent) and now when you turn it on there is a rattling sound like when you put a playing card in the spokes of a bike and when the car is warmed up you dont hear it anymore. dont know what it is...took it to a mechanic and he said he thought it was rubbing up against the plastic by the belt....now my car has started to idle rough.....help please?
What does it men when there is a rattling noise from the timing belt ?
If your timing belt fails, your engine stops, OR can very likey be damaged. This isn't something to ignore. Your mechanic needs to look at where the noise is coming from. No they don't %26quot;just make that kind of noise%26quot;
What does it men when there is a rattling noise from the timing belt ?
sounds like your water pump or one of the idler pulleys is going out,this will change the timing back and forth making it run weird one minute then fine the next......they can make some pretty funny noises too when something is failing in that area
Probably inadequate tension on the timing belt. There's typically a %26quot;belt tensioner%26quot; on the timing belt much like the one on a serpentine belt that runs your A/C and alternator/water pump/ect.



I'd check the timing belt cover (plastic housing) first to make sure it isn't rubbing the timing belt making all of this noise.



Good Luck!!
have the water pump checked



if the garages you have been too have both said they think its the timing belt or timing belt cover then they could well be right.



the timing belt commonly also runs the water pump, it may be that the bearing is failing or that the timing belt tensioner or idle pullies are failing.



if your car has not had the cam belt replaced get it done! its far cheaper to have to replaced now (and water pump at same time) than if one of the components fails. if a tensioner, idler or water pump fail they usually take the cam belt with them resulting in bent valves and a pretty big bill.

if the rattling eventually turns into a shaky engine after a couple of days, you are in need of a new harmonic balancer. This happens to be a very neccessary part of your engine that prevents it from shattering itself to pieces. 300 dollars is all it took to get a new one for my 93 century installed.

How do u change the timing belt on a 1995 eclipse?
This is one of these jobs that requires knowledge and skill if you have never done this job or seen it done then i wouldn't recommend doing it, but a good place to start is the local library or maybe search on the Internet.
How do u change the timing belt on a 1995 eclipse?
Either buy a book, or go to the library and see if they have a book.



If you've never done this kind of job before, it can be tricky finding the cam and crank alignment marks and where they are supposed to be pointing to.



If the water pump is driven off this belt, it can also be a good idea to change it, especially if the car is at the 120,000 mile mark.

When should I change the timing belt on a 2000 CR-V LX?

This car has been great almost 200K never had any major problems other than tune ups with the mechanic, but I have not changed the timing belt car runs ok should I worry until it makes weird sounds? Thank you!
When should I change the timing belt on a 2000 CR-V LX?
It wont make a weird sound, it will just snap and its over. You got your moneys worth out of it get it replaced. It'll save you a tow bill and a head job cause when it snaps you'll bend your valves

I've just clocked up 63, 000 on mine and the dealership rang me to say it was due a service (stll not sure about that) So I asked the question of when the timing belt was due for replacement, and the rang me back to say 100, 000 miles.. Somewhat doubtful, i'm going to get mine done at 65, 000 and have the water pump replaced too.

Parts needed for a timing belt change on a 2001 Lexus RX 300?

I know it will get a timing belt, tensioner and water pump. Should the crank and camshft seals be replaced? Is there anything else that should be replaced as a preventative measure? My Lexus has 106,000 miles on it. I know the belt should have been replaced at 90,000 miles but I did not find that out until it had 105,000 miles on it.
Parts needed for a timing belt change on a 2001 Lexus RX 300?
I would not touch the front seals unless they were leaking.Actually I don't even recommend replacing water pump %26amp; tensioner on that engine with that mileage.This engine has plenty of clearance (unlike most Hondas %26amp; Mitsubishis) and does not cause major engine damage if timing belt (or waterpump or tensioner) break.

Need to change timing belt, serpentine belt & oil pan on Acura TL. What other things to get done?

Please recommend other repair items that should get done when I am spending on the labor cost to get these done. How much should I expect to spend on these repairs in Portland, OR?
Need to change timing belt, serpentine belt %26amp; oil pan on Acura TL. What other things to get done?
Definitely change the water pump along with the timing belt. There is very little extra labor, and you don't want it to start leaking (requiring having to do the whole job again) before the next timing belt change, or, even worse, to seize and ruin the belt and your engine. Looks like $600-$900 will cover it all - see the first source.

Should I change the timing belt/chain on my Toyota Camry?

I have a 2004 Toyota Camry and I just hit 100,000 miles. When should I change the timing belt/chain? My car is still running fine; just like the day I bought it.
Should I change the timing belt/chain on my Toyota Camry?
your maintenance schedule should tell you when to change belt but chains have no maintenance and should not be serviced until making noise, that usually doesnt happen until 200,000 miles, belts are a different story and need regular service, anywhere from 60,000 to 100,000 miles depending on motor, you need to know which type of engine you have.
Should I change the timing belt/chain on my Toyota Camry?
change it...it usually doesnt get bad slowly ...it snapps and leaves you on side of road..[usually at night in rain in bad %26quot;hood%26quot;]
the owners manual probably recommended changing it around 80k.

You need to change it even if your car is running fine. I had one brake(my car ran fine up until it did) and it caused my pistons to hit and bend my valves. It cost about $1400 to fix and that was because a friend did the work for me. It is recommended you change them to keep that from happening to you.
Your 2004 Camry has a maintenance-free timing chain if you have the 4 cylinder. You shouldn't have to change it. If it's the V6, you have a timing belt and it has to be replaced at 100K I believe. Newer timing belts tend to have longer intervals than the ones of the past. Also, if you have a V6 and the belt does break, it is a non-interference engine. That means that there's enough clearance that if the valves stop moving (ie. timing belt breaking), the pistons one crash into them and cause damage while you're driving. You just get your car towed to the shop, get a timing belt replacement service and you drive away.
2003-2006 Model camries have 2 types. The 2.4i engine has a timing chain - which should never need replacing. The 3.3L V6 has a timing belt, and should be replaced every 100,000 miles - so if you have a 3.3L V6 camry you should get it worked on sometime soon.



The good news is you do not have an interfearing engine - so even if it does brake (yes you'll be stranded) but at least your car will be repairable - unlike most hondas which DIE if their timing belts break.
