EDIT* problem solved...

I also have another video where the engine can be seen running...and making noise...could these be related? YES! Ran the car like this and it was very obvious that the sound was directly related to the belt flopping around. Got lucky on this one!

  • THE TENSIONER WAS TOAST!

  • I'm expecting to have the motor out of the car tonight, it's just about ready to pull now. The plan is to use the motor for my VR4 with 0psi compression in the front bank, and sell the rest of the car. I will be replacing all timing parts and a few other things.

  • I picked up the car after someone else wrecked it, so I don't know the history. I've heard of people replacing the belt, but not the tensioner...so I'd guess that's what happened and it's a collapsed tensioner.

    I'd heard there should be some play in this area, but this seemed excessive.

  • how did you fix it because i have the same problem Please answer.

  • yea the DOHC engines have a habit of getting loose from sitting for a while ... start it and let it run then check it.. if its still loose get a new belt tensioner .

  • As has been said before ....that is normal if it has been standing for a while. start it and will tighten right up.

  • So did yu get a new hydro tensioner??

  • turn it over for a sec and see how much slack is in it then.

  • ITS NORMAL!!!

  • get a new tensioner. mine did the same thing. ge it fixed before you jump out of time. its a bitch to do, but you can do it on your own.

  • u need a new hydro tensioner. mine did same

  • does anyone have the directions on how to reset the timing for a 1993 3000gt/stealth DOHC N/A?
