has the timing chain been replaced

• You want to align the Crank and Cam gears timing mark with the corresponding mark on the engine itself.

• Camshaft Mark ---

• Crankshaft Marks.

• Here is your firing order

• Hope this helps.

I don't know what engine you have, but all engines have timing marks on them. One on the crank will line up the engine to TDC on the number one piston, with the cover/s removed, you can see the cams aligned to their marks if the crank is on it's mark. A lot of cars use the same heads, cams on different engines, so they have more than one mark, when your crank is on TDC, the cam marks will be the ones you need. Either a diamond or a dot , or a slash. If your belt has broken and the engine ran for more than 2 seconds, take it to the junk yard, It will be shot. Hope this helps.

yes it has a timing belt.and when you fix it there are marks you have to follow or set its the timing mark.

have you checked the crank position sensor (CPS)?

this is for the crank pulley timing marks .....
