I"m an ASE certified mechanic with over 20 yrs experience. I like to make videos of some of the common fixes I come across as well as some the tricky ones that some find frustrating. This timing belt procedure is quite unique. Give it a watch. You may find it helpful.

  • You may be thinking some but I did right for sure. Today was my second attempt but nothing again I'm not frustrated yet.

  • @Espatulation What's the history? Did the belt break? Did you just change the belt? Did the car sit for 3+ months and not start?

  • thanks

    

  • @twiztedbacon You're welcome

  • @twiztedbacon Just line it up 180 degrees from what I had and use a flat file or piece of plate steel.

  • Hey you guys u just need a pitch-square tool the one the carpenter uses.look for the side that is wider and put it on the back of the cams it will fit on them.

  • To brianmobile. I was back home to ga from sc, and suddenly the car went off. Lost power that's it. The first though timing jumped. Cuz the belt was on it's place, I did tow it and check fuses,spark fuel. Even I put brake cleaner to the throttle-body but nothing happen.

  • To jafromobile.hey yes I know about that but back on 2010 the belt collapsed and I replaced the only issue was I didn't now how to set tensioner(if u don't put right I'll slip off and break) but the car ignite on first try. After 6 months I had to changed it cuz the idler. And again this time did crank but on the 2nd try.

  • @Espatulation I know on a '93 Ford Probe with the 2.0L (and the Mercury Mistake and a few other cars) you can't be more than 3° off TDC with the cams or it won't give spark to the hole. The cam angle sensor is super-sensitive and the hydraulic adjuster likes to rotate while you're torquing the cam gear bolts. 'dunno if this engine has the same style CAS, but I've watched that setup give a garage full of mechanics headaches from the hydraulics rotating. I wish they had a dowel pin on the cams.

  • Hey I'm sorry to bother u but I did everything you said I did not crank up. Do u now why thanks.
