Engine will not start and run if the belt has broken.
For Camry 1997-2001, the timing belt must be replaced each 90000 miles.
how can you tell if a timing belt is bad
You cannot tell if it is worn nor if it is about to break. That is why they are replaced at a set mileage. Looking at it will tell you nothing.
You can't and that is why they are replaced at a set mileage as outlined in your owners manual.
Look for a mileage schedule in the maintenance section of the owners manual.
On a Neon engine if the timing belt breaks the valves can bend.
If its a 6cl,it's got a timing chain, I never heard of one braken. If it,s a 4cl, it's got a belt. Don't try to start it. Take it to a repair shop.
its a belt and my dealer couldn't tell me when it needs to be changed, so off to another dealer who said its at 100,000miles but get the tension units changed.
If the engine runs at all, the timing belt is not "broke."
can you tell me the markins for my timing belt for my peogeut partner van
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO TURN THE ENGINE OVER IF YOU SUSPECT A BROKEN TIMING BELT !!!!!! If you have, you already have more problems than a broken timing belt. Remove the upper timing belt cover and physically look at the timing belt.
