No problem
The 2005 Chevrolet Cobalt is equipped with a timing chain, which is designed to last the lifetime of the engine under normal conditions. Unlike timing belts, timing chains typically do not require regular replacement. However, if you notice symptoms such as unusual noises from the engine or a check engine light, it may indicate that the timing chain is worn or has issues, and a professional inspection is recommended. Regular maintenance and oil changes can help ensure the timing chain functions properly for the life of the vehicle.
There is a rubber grommet in the clear pane of the dash, remove it and insert a long pointed object, ie. a skewer and push the button while engine is running and the t-belt warning light will go out. This should only be done if timing belt has been replaced, engine failure may result if belt is not replaced.
With a timing light.
NO. A timing light will not work on that engine. You must have an obdII engine scanner to set the timing on that year.
The check engine light is for emission and electrical issues. It doesn't have anything to do with fluid levels. As far as the timing belt it depends if the light just came on, or if it has been on since the replacement.
To time your 1989 Chevy pickup, start by warming up the engine to its normal operating temperature. Locate the timing marks on the harmonic balancer and the timing tab on the engine block. Use a timing light to check the timing by connecting the light's clamp to the number one spark plug wire and aiming the light at the timing marks. Adjust the distributor as needed to align the marks with the specified timing degree, which is typically around 0° to 12° BTDC, depending on the engine model.
You CANNOT use a timing light on that engine. ( won't work ) It requires an OBDII engine scanner to set the timing. The timing is computer controlled.
To set the ignition timing on a 1998 Infiniti QX4, first ensure the engine is at normal operating temperature and then turn off the engine. Disconnect the timing light and locate the timing marks on the crankshaft pulley and the timing indicator on the engine. Use a timing light to check the current timing while the engine is idling, and if adjustments are necessary, loosen the distributor hold-down bolt and rotate the distributor until the timing aligns with the specified degree (usually around 15 degrees BTDC). Finally, retighten the bolt and recheck the timing to ensure it remains correct.
Wrong scanner?? If a check engine light is on, there are codes. Timing sensor? Check engine usually means a problem... Service means that scheduled service needs to be performed like oil change, or timing belt replacement. I would Check your Catalytic Converter. What often happens is the catalyst that is in the Catalytic converter Heats up and Blows out into your Muffler. This means It is not the sensor,but your converter and Muffler Need Replaced.I have just fixed two cars with this problem,and they had the same symptoms,Check engine Light.
It does not have one. You can not use a timing light on that year engine. The timing is computer controled. You MUST have an engine scanner to set the timing.
To connect an A B timing light on an EM7 Mack engine, first, ensure the engine is off. Attach the timing light's power leads to the battery (positive to positive and negative to ground), then connect the inductive pickup around the number one spark plug wire. Start the engine and aim the timing light at the timing marks on the engine's harmonic balancer to check the ignition timing. Adjust the timing as necessary based on the manufacturer's specifications.
A timing mark is usually a white line on the timing belt to sync the firing of cylinders in an engine. You can see this line when the engine is turned off or with a timing light also a strobe light when the engine is running.
