The only way to know which style tensioner you have is to remove the crank pulley and timing cover and look.
AnswerThe timing is controled by the sensors and the computer, it can't be adjusted.You can if the timing belt is stretched! Replace your timing belt and the hydraulic tensioner and it should repair the bad timing.
if you are wanting change intervals than its every 60,000 miles and you should check and replace the hydraulic tensioner and pulley
If it is a manual transmission, yes.
Tensioner PULLY is behind the timing BELT cover
with a pair of pliers
The service information says to use Miller special tool 8186. I always replace the hydraulic tensioner when I am working on a 2.7L.
There is only 2 tensioner pulley on a Dodge Shadow 2.5L and that's right above the belt that drives the water pump and alternator... that tensioner pulley opperates the AC Compresser and the other one goes for the timing belt.
use small pin to depress ball valve in bottom of tensioner. using fingers compress tensioner. this is to keep the tenioner from exerting too much pressure on the timing chain.
Manual, yesAuto, no. The 1995 is hydraulic controlled, the 1999 is electronic controlled.Manual, yesAuto, no. The 1995 is hydraulic controlled, the 1999 is electronic controlled.
The 3.3L has a timing chain. The serpentine belt (accessory belt) is removed by rotating the tensioner down.
go buy a reference manual
