Why is your 1985 BMW 528e backfiring just started doing it after i changed the timing belt?

The timing marks were probably not set right when the timing chain was changed. This will cause the timing to be off and can result in backfiring and loss of power.

How do you change timing belt Toyota 4runner V6?
Bring it to a mechanic that knows what they are doing. Its not an easy job, if done wrong the timing of the engine will be off and once started could spoil the engine by bending a valve. Have somebody with knowledge do it...

Is the timing belt bad?
Refer to the owners manual to determine how often the timing belt should be changed. Do not exceed that interval, since doing so can cause serious damage to the engine. Don't wait for the belt to be "bad", just change it when you hit the number of miles specified.
How do you adjust the timing on a 1981 Jeep CJ5 from the distributor cap?
- Do not adjust timing on anything from the distributor cap. You can adjust timing by moving the distributor. - You need a timing light and timing needs to be at top dead center to start. Then make a visible mark on base of distributor and engine block so you know where distributor was when you started. That's in case you need to start over. - Loosen the bolt that holds the distributor. Only loosen it enough to move the distributor. - Now hook up the timing light, being careful not to get hit by fan, or caught in the fan belt. Aim the timing light at timing marks on the front of motor. You may need a second person to move the distributor for you. This gets moved very slowly, a tiny amount at a time. - Using white out, color the correct timing line on front of engine so it will light up when using timing light. - Start the engine while watching the light on the timing marks. You can tell the other person how much and which way to move the distributor. Move only until the marks are lined up . - When it is correct it will look like the light is on all the time. When the distributor is in the correct position tighten the bolt that holds the distributor. - After doing this, if the engine is backfiring, and you have previously had the distributor removed from the engine, it is most likely because the distributor is installed 180 degrees wrong. - To correct the backfiring remove the distributor bolt, rotate the engine top dead center on the number one piston. If the rotor at this time is not pointing at the number one plug lead then carefully lift the distributor from the engine enough to rotate the rotor 180 degrees. Then re-insert the distributor and try timing from start again.

Does a 2002 Honda Accord 4 cylinder have a timing chain or a timing belt?
A 2002 Honda Accord 4 cyl (2.3 F23A5 engine) has a timing belt. In addition to the timing belt, this car also has what looks like a "miniature" timing belt, called the balance shaft belt. If you're doing a timing belt job, it is recommended that both belts be changed at the same time. Complete timing kits are also available, which include timing and balance shaft belts, tensioners, water pump, cam and crank seals, and valve cover gasket and grommets.
Why would 350 Chevy engine start backfiring?
that's funny because I have a 350 Chevy engine that's is doing that as we speak.theres a few reasons it could be doing that. It could be something as simple as getting carb cleaner and cleanin your carb cause when it gets even a spec of dirt in there it can cause it to backfire.if that doesnt work try changing the spark plugs and if that doesnt work than you have a deeper problem which would be that your timing is off which is what wrong with mine.

Kia Sedona timing belt 2004?

Why do my car cut off while driving I got a new battery and connections are tight It cut off twice after 5 minute driving It still starts now No smokes No overheating Enough gas What is the problem?
My 93 VR4 has started doing this at 195K miles. It runs fine after this sputtering and occasionally backfiring and even dying. Then you can recrank it and drive all day. I am going to take it in but the bets are that it involves the choke cutting out. The timing is about right. If it were the injectors or filters then it seems that the problem would continue while driving. I am still drining it at present until time to take it in.
