Damn forreal ?! Would this do significant damage im gonna have to take it to a shop close by me but im gonna have to drive the car there. Drives fine once im in 3rd gear and up just stutters on first and second gear. Wont be driving it for a while now tho.I'd check the timing, with a light and bridge the jumper, search the site if you don't know how to. It could also be mechanical timing, you'll have to pull covers and manually rotate the engine to check the markings, again search above.
"I only drove it a little" doesn't matter, if the mechanical timing is off enough it can bend valves on the first startup.
Ok ill update once i get it resolved, gonna be doing a valve adjustment as well when i get the timing belt redone.You've already driven it, I'd keep the rpms low if you're going to be driving it. It could be something simple
How do i do this ? Any links ? My bad still pretty much a beginner this whole timing belt shit has been the most difficult thing for me to deal with.cam is 1 tooth retarded, easy to check via ignition timing.....
does this not work for you? do I need to draw it in crayon and mail it to you? Im a shit drawer......How do i do this ? Any links ? My bad still pretty much a beginner this whole timing belt shit has been the most difficult thing for me to deal with.
Thanks will do, im out here in miami looking for a competent shop at the momentIf you had a shop do the work, simply be a man and call them up. Explain hwo the car feels, be polite, and allow them the opportunity to fix their fuck up, if it exists.
These are old cars, so it is still possible something else gave up, or is a simple adjustment. If someone did valve lash on a stretched out timing belt, the lash is now off again.
