Jr. and I replaced the timing belt on the 93 Camry. Put it all back together, started alright and ran for a few miles before it quit. Checked timing, found it was way off so we loosened the timing belt, put Crank at TDC, rotated camshaft/distributor to #1 plug and re-installed timing belt. Checked proper installation by putting it through 2 rpms, everything was fine. Started it again, reset timing to 5 degrees BTDC, idled fine. Drove a few blocks and the car died again.
For some reason the timing belt is jumping the gears. All I can figure is that the tensioner pulley is not working right. Question #1. The tensioner pulley is supposed to be free to take up the slack, right? Question #2: Haynes makes no mention of proper torque for the tensioner pulley bolt. What is the right amount of torque for that bolt?
Thanks in advance. F
