Nothing... It won't run.
The chain will become noisy and the engine may be out of time and perform poorly.
It does not have a timing belt. It has a chain and gears.If timing chain goes out then the engine will not run.
I am almost certain that the timing chain should last throught the life of the Explorer.
If a 1999 Dodge Intrepid timing chain goes out a valve in the head can easily be damaged.
Normally a worn timing chain becomes noisy. That is the first sign of trouble ahead. It is very rare for timing chain to fail as they are designed to last the life of the engine. But, it is possible.
Every motor I know of has the timing chain in front directly under the water pump. The timing chain goes from the crankshaft to the cam or cams.
1994 Nissan altima doesn't have a timing belt. The 1994 Nissan altima has a timing chain. Which is much more durable than a timing belt.AnswerIf you think your car is out of time...check the distributor first. When it goes out it sound like the car is out of time. AnswerThe engine has to be removed to replace the timing chain; expect about $1,000 for labor alone.
it leaks oil
I just replaced the timing chain for my 2000 Camry. I did the same thing for my last Camry, a 1996. The timing chain goes after the water pump bearings fail and jams everything up. Then I had to replace the timing belt, water pump, and all belts.
It will F@#! your car up real bad.
Parts and labor to replace the timing chain on a Nissan Maxima will easily exceed over $1,500.00. If you have to incur the expense, might as well also spend another $500.00 to replace the water pump. [Note: when that timing chain goes, you lose the engine. Engine-replacement is over $3,000.] The timing chain shouldn't really break. "Going-bad" will be where the timing chain is getting loose and the sound of the chain flapping around inside its assembly can actually be heard as you rev the engine. Have a reliable mechanic give you their assessment of what's happening with the timing chain (and the water pump). Might as well get a second mechanic give a second opinion.
it's no more timing belts on Sienna's since 2008.It's timing chain
Should be on the timing belt/chain itself. and if not check your crank that it goes around not your hallmarker balancer if it's foreign
