SOURCE: how to find timing belts marks toyota rav4 2l

I have just replaced my water pump on my 1998 RAVE4, also, the timing belt and the other two belts. I had a tough time with the timing marks. The way you line these marks up is easy if you take the time, First, if you are changing the timing belt you pull the balancer and both top and bottom plastic covers,(do not try to pull top cover off before you take off balencer and the motor mount off or you will just break it.), Second after covers are removed you will have access to the timing belt, you can now remove it by loosening the tensioner bolt and pushing down on the tensioner wheel, the belt then can be taken off. Third take out number one sparkplug and replace the bottom cover by maybe two bolts so that you can see marks on cover, next replace the balancer and bolt. Turn the motor over by hand with the balancer so the small divit on the back of the balancer is on 0 or top dead center on the compression stroke, you can use a compression gauge for this or I just used a mirror and light to shine in the number one cylinder to see the piston. Next remove the balancer and cover and make sure to make a mark on crankshaft gear and housing. Next you will need mirror and flashlight, now turn camshaft gear clockwise to line the hole in the gear with the top timing mark. I recommend a small circle mirror for this. Now replace the belt. I turned the crank shaft gear one tooth counter clockwise off mark and the camshaft one tooth clock wise off mark so when the belt is on you can turn the camshaft gear counter clockwise to get tension on the belt and marks will line up. I would recommend changing water pump,tensioner wheel, and the idler wheel. After belt is on I would replace the bottom cover the balancer and the crankshaft sensor. Iwould then start it to make sure the water pump is not leaking and the motor is not pinging or you will have to tear it back apart again. Good luck and no I am not a certified mechanic just thought this would be helpful from my own experience.

MAKE SURE YOU ARE USING THE CORRECT OIL WEIGHT. SOME WEIGHT CHANGES IN COLDER WEATHER IT WILL BE IN YOUR OWNERS MANUAL.2ND BATERYS TEND TO HAVE A 3 YEAR LIFE DO A LOAD TEST ON BATTERY AND I THINK YOU WILL FIND YOUR PROBLEM

Testimonial: "Timothy Reed Sorry I'm so late responding to your answer... Just learning a little on how to use this 'fixya' site... YOU WERE EXACTLY CORRECT !!! I would not have believed that it was the battery because it still did a good job of turning the engine. Had to replace the battery shortly thereafter... and that problem totally disappered and has never come back.. Thank you"

Can anyone please tell me where the cam sensor and crankshaft sensor are located on a 2002 RAV4 2.0 D4D...116BHP Problem is wont start when engine is hot.

this a diesel. (our is 2.4Lgas(petrol)
cold starts fine,runs perfect cold RIGHT?
common rail system.

the PCM will tell you when those are bad, cranking for 5sec or running.
does your run,. ? if yes for get them. and scan engine PCM.
some sensor takes major work to reach.

get the FSM on that car. y
so get the FSM for your car, your engine and your country
The DI chapter covers this. read that yet? diagnosis?
did you use the scan tool an see what up's up or not ?


your engine really is.
1CD-FTV I4 (diesel)
that is the correct name, so study only that)

no start hot.
its too much fuel or tool little?
to little?
did you try test fuel to see if loss of fuel is the problem?
on diesel it's poor compression
or lost fuel , hot starts.
easy huh , no spark to check , there is no spark
some diesels have 1 sensor for injector timing.
if flooding , you get black smoke out the tail pipe, so id suspect
you'd have noticed that and did not see it.
test fuel, tests.
if this fails, a full hot compression test. its not the cam belt slippped
if runs ok cold,

i bet the injectors are shut down
the PCM tell you why, so let it.
SCAN it. after 5 seconds cranked.
almost all PCM report 1 bad pulse of 10 in all speed sensors.
(CKP or CMP )

Toyota lucida hard to start most times. occasionaly ok. 2.2 diesel. everything seems to work as should

in cold weather diesel gels up and sometimes causes a no start issue..a cetane fuel additive helps with this issue. if temps go below 20 degrees, add a quart per tankful of cetane to the fuel to help start on cold mornings. also diesels require more amperage to crank than gas engines do..thus a stronger battery is needed..

You will need to drain feul tank to start and get rid of contaminated feul.You will most likely have to replace spark plugs and oxygen sensors because they will be fouled.Diesel is too oily to burn in a gas engine.

My 2008 TD Prado is starting to rattle louder when cold, can yo tell me if this is a concern

The problem is with the injectors, they are over fueling, causing diesel knock when cold, denso have modified injectors with what they call step 2 , there is also a ecu software update for this concern.
