  2. Install the timing belt onto the pulleys, as follows, crankshaft pulley first, then the idler pulley, exhaust camshaft pulley, intake camshaft pulley, and the tensioner pulley.
  3. Loosen the tensioner pulley and allow the tensioner spring to apply tension on the belt, then tighten the lockbolt to 28-38 ft. lbs. (38-51 Nm).
  4. Rotate the crankshaft clockwise 2 turns and be sure all marks are still correctly aligned.
  5. Install the remaining components in the revere order of the removal noting the following torque specifications:

    Crankshaft pulley: 9-13 ft. lbs. (12-17 Nm) Water pump pulley: 9-13 ft. lbs. (12-17 Nm)
  6. Connect the negative battery cable.

  3. Install the timing belt over the crankshaft sprocket, then inside the idler pulley, over the camshaft sprocket and then inside the timing belt tensioner.
  4. Apply tension to the timing belt by turning the tensioner in the clockwise direction so there is no slack in the belt on the tension side.
  5. Tighten the tensioner mounting bolts to 20 ft. lbs. (27 Nm).
  6. Check the timing belt tension as follows:
    1. 1.6L (VIN 3) engine: Push the tension side of the belt in horizontally with a moderate force, the timing belt cog end is approximately 1 / 2 of the tensioner mounting bolt head radius away from the bolt head center.
    2. 2.0L engine: Push the tension side of the belt in horizontally with a moderate force, the timing belt cog end sags approximately 0.16-0.24 inches (4-6 mm).

  7. Turn the crankshaft two turns in the clockwise direction and realign the crankshaft sprocket and camshaft sprocket timing marks.

The immobiliser in my 2004 Kia Rio doesn't disengage when I try and turn on the ignition. I have try combinations of locking with central locking unlocking with key until the ignition will turn over. Very...

2004 kia rio's sold in the us do not have a factory installed immobiliser. you may have another issue, if it is an automatic transmission I would check the neutral safety switch, the next time is does not start, put the car in neutral and see if it starts, if it does you may have a bad switch.
