Re: 3.0 not running after changing tensioner
« on: Oct 31, 2010, 01:48:30 PM »
i would love to line up the marks. when i did the timing belt i noticed  that the previous owner didn't install the cam gears correctly, so the marks don't line up with where they should be. At the time i just made sure that the new belt went on the same way it came off and it worked out alright.

Now what i THINK could've happen is that when i went to put the new tensioner on i stretched the timing belt and moved the cam gear over 1 tooth. could i just move the cam gear over 1 tooth and see if that works?  any thoughts on this?

the reason this confuses me is that right after i finished the job, i fired it up and it ran (a little rough and with high idle). i shut it off and let it sit 5 minutes. now it wont run.
