Replacing the water pump and replacing the timing belt are both part of the 60K maintenance.
in timing belt
To adjust the timing take off the timing cover,take off belt and then line up the marks on the timing gear.You will need a special tool to hold the gears if it is a DOHC(duel over head cam)
Go to Erik Gross site or www.Team3S for complete diagram and instructions. You only get one chance to do it right or the engine bends valves
No. Low compression does not effect timing but timing can affect compression.
it is located on the topside of the crank sprocket behind the timing cover.
Usually no compression is a mechanical failure. Probably the timing belt, May also have bent valves.Usually no compression is a mechanical failure. Probably the timing belt, May also have bent valves.
In my '97 Eclipse GST (the convertible model of your car), the Crankshaft Position Sensor, or Crankshaft Angle Sensor, is located behind the crankshaft pulley. To get to it, the Mitsubishi shop manual lists the removal of the timing belt. Not a fun job. Since the timing belt will be removed anyways, this is a good time to install a new belt. The Mitsubishi dealership also suggested replacing the timing belt tensioner when re-installing the timing belt.
timing belt , no spark or fuel pump has quit
if the timing belt does go on gto it would be a miracle if you didn't bend half of the valves ! its whats called an interference motor. if something gets out of time - you get major interference, costs $$$$$
