How Can You Tell If Your Timing Belt Is Going Out Are Has Already Went On Your Car ? 2006 MITSUIBUSHI GALANT

1. The crank shalf, cam shalfs and distributor are not align.
-These components NEED to line up the way it suppose to before
the timing belt.

You do not need to reset the computer. The idle speed is low because the computer was reset when the battery was disconnected when the T belt was replaced, the system will slowly adjust the idle back up to the correct speed based on your driving habits, it learns as you drive. It will take about 100 miles.

Timing belts should be changed at around 60,000 miles on engines with timing belts-especially on 'interference engines', which are engines that, when the belt breaks while the engine is running, will at least damage the valves and sometimes even pistons. You do not say what engine or model car your Mitsubishi engine is, but most Mitsubishi engines are interference engines. Better safe than sorry.

New Serpentine Belt and Tensioner because it's slipping possibly from wear or from contamination of something leaking on it. The compressor could be dragging also but the belt and tensioner is a cheaper start to make sure. Let me know if this helps.

Most timing belt suppliers recommend 50k to 60k miles for replacement. Your Galant has a interference engine meaning that if the belt fails your will incur major engine damage up to and including replacement of the entire engine.

So if you have over 60k miles on the car go ahead and change the belt, and while you have it apart replace the water pump.

Timing belt “B” (balancer belt) and related components—2004–2005 Galant and 2004–2005 Lancer 2.4L engine

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable. Remove the engine under cover.
   
2. Remove the crankshaft damper pulley.
   
3. Disconnect the control wiring harness connector, battery wiring harness connector and connector bracket to engine mounting insulator.
   
4. Remove the harness bracket. Remove the upper timing belt cover. Remove the water pump pulley. Remove the idler pulley.
   
5. Remove the auto tensioner. Remove the lower timing belt cover.
   
6. Turn the crankshaft clockwise and align each timing mark to set the number one piston to TDC of its compression stroke.
   
7. Remove the timing belt under cover rubber plug and then install special tool MD998738. Screw the special tool until it contacts the timing belt tensioner arm.
   
   NOTE The special tool must be screwed in gradually at the rate of a 30 degree turn per second. If it is screwed in all at once, the timing belt tensioner adjuster rod will not easily retract and the tool may bend.
   
   
8. Gradually screw in the special tool and then align the timing belt tensioner adjuster rod set hole “A” with the timing belt tensioner adjuster cylinder set hole “B”.
   
9. Insert a wire or pin in the set holes to lock the assembly in place. After removing the special tool, loosen the timing belt tensioner pulley mounting bolts and remove the timing belt. If the belt is being reused be sure to mark the direction of rotation (clockwise) on the belt.
   
10. Remove the timing belt tensioner pulley, tensioner arm and adjuster.
    
11. Remove the timing belt idler pulley. Remove the timing belt lower cover bracket. Remove the crankshaft position sensor.
    
12. Remove the crankshaft pulley center bolt and washer. Remove the drive sprocket. Remove the crankshaft angle sensing blade.
    
13. Remove the balancer timing belt tensioner. Remove the timing belt “B” (balancer belt) from its mounting.

Should be on your 2nd timing belt. If you have the 4cyl engine there is a balance belt that needs to be changed also. Mitsubishi recomends replacement at every 60,000 miles, your 10k over. Most of the time these motors are not interferance engines, But I have seen a few that broke a belt at high rpm that did bent valves......
