In this case your car will give black smoke and it wont have much power to it and you have to get the timing belt taken off and set it up to its right place then put the belt back on it. Rememer your engine will be bit loud voice wise and if the belt was not installed properly.
you also have to make sure distributor is intalled correctly to match the timing
Your timing belt was not properly installed. It's probably off by a tooth or two.
From what I read it has a timing chain, not a timing belt. I asked the dealer about scheduled maintenance, and changing the timing belt was never mentioned.
It does not have a timing belt. It has a chain and gears.If timing chain goes out then the engine will not run.
It does not have a belt, it has a chain.
The timing is computer controlled, there is no adjustments. I know this is a little late, but timing could be off because the timing belt is not properly aligned. If the timing belt is installed incorrectly the timing will never be right.
I think that after you put on the timing belt alighned properly,that your distrib. makes up the diff. when you adjust it. Jim
The timing belt goes and the valves bend.
Will anything happen to the motor if timing belt breaks on a 2001 ford ranger
Changing the timing belt should only be attempted by and experience mechanic. The directions are very detailed and complex. Not properly following the timing belt procedures can result in ruining the entire engine.
With some engines, catastrophic damage can occur to engine if the timing belt breaks.
Most likely your car wont start.
