After I got the hood on I decided to take her for a ride around the block: felt like ass. Exhaust smells like gas like there isn't enough spark or ignition timing was off. I grab the timing light and as I start it back up I hear a horrible sound come from the cam gear cover. Underneath that, the timing belt is shredded. Definitely should've changed the tensioner & pulleys.

Crap.

Congrats bro! Welcome to the club!
Gremlins are to be expected and as you said - you sort of brought that part on yourself by not refreshing the engine. Hang in therre - it'll all be worth it in the end [and then some]

got a tensioner coming in from the uk ( http://www.tcbparts.co.uk/ ). there were none at lithia for weeks! D8 I just hope it doesn't take a couple weeks to get here. then it'll be time to get it started again!

could have gotten the tensioner already, and I'm sure for cheaper.

good luck with the project.

>- Idler and tensioner pulleys (same P/N) - Instead of ordering these from Toyota ($$$), I opted to try a local bearing supplier called Kaman Industries. They looked up the number indexed on the side of the bearing, and they overnight shipped them via FedEx to my house in less than 24 hours and cost me less than HALF of what Toyota wanted. I think it was something like $~150 from Toyota, as opposed to $68 through Kaman for the exact same thing!

They are identical, they just lack the pretty Toyota box.

got the tensioner pulleys. just needed the actual hydraulic tensioner with the pin/hex wrench in it.

Ok. fixed timing belt. new problem arisen: slow running on 3 cylinders misfire low boost.

Compression test:

compression cylinder #1


compression cylinder #2


compression cylinder #3


compression cylinder #4


____________________________________________________________

Mechanical timing:






new tensioner & tensioner pulley


____________________________________________________________

Ignition timing:

I set the ignition timing with a timing light in test mode to 10º BTDC. The light flickered intermittently and not steady.

Changed: plugs, cap, rotor.
to change: plug wires.

Pulled out the spark plugs for compression testing: 0.8mm / 0.031in gap. Plug #3 was carbon fouled from misfiring.

I have yet to test the igniter and other resistor packs.

Please help diagnosing this problem.

Pulled #2 wire during idle and no change. Found the culprit.

so it was the #2 wire?

I shall see when I get the wires. I hope it is that simple. *crossing my fingers*

sweet it sounds like a mac truck!

hopefully wires fix it.
