It is highly recommended that the timing belt tensioner be replaced any time the belt is replaced, if the bearing in the tensioner failed it will take out the new belt in an instant.
Click on the following free direct Link. It has the correct Serpentine/Drive Belt Diagrams for your 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser 2.4L DOHC In-Line 4-Cylinder Engine with the Engine Options (AC/No AC etc.). It also has Instructional and Directional Diagrams inorder to remove and/or replace the Belt(s). Note: the differences between the Automatic Tensioner and those Tensioners with Adjusting/Locking Bolts/Nuts
sounds like timing belt how many miles on it if over 75k it time to replace belt anyways does it sound funny when trying to start ;like it spinning faster
to change the belt on this vehicle you have to evacuate the a/c syst. disconnect the a/c lines on the right side of the eng compartment. Remove drive belts, remove balancer. Support eng with a jack, remove engine mount. remove timming covers. Time eng and proceed to remove belt.
Most likely a cam sensor or a crank sensor. The timing belt didn't break did it? They also have an issue with the timing belt tensioner going bad and jumping a tooth.
CHECK AUTO ZONE .COM FOR TIMING PROCEEDURE. I HAVE DONE THIS & IT IS VERY HARD TO GET TIMING MARKS PERFECTLY LINED UP. TOOK ABOUT 3 TRIES. ( CAMS WANT TO MOVE DURING PROCESS.) WHEN TIMING IS JUST RIGHT , IT WILL RUN. MAKE SURE BOTH CAM SROCKET ARROWS ARE POINTING UP. THERE IS A TIMING MARK IN THE VALLEY OF THE EXHAUST CAM SPROCKET TEETH THAT I MISSED.YOU HAVE TO START WITH EXHAUST CAM TIMING MARK JUST BELOW INTAKE CAM SPROCKET TIMING MARK & THEN WHEN BELT IS COMPLETELY ON , MOVE EXHAUST CAM TO TAKE UP SLACK IN BELT. IT WORKS !!!
