  • genevievepat Sep 20, 2009

    where and what r the dots on

  • genevievepat Sep 20, 2009

    do you know the correct timing should they all be 12 oclock

  • genevievepat Sep 21, 2009

    thank you for the info,but i would like to ask if the "I" on intake is at 12 o`clock on the left and the "E" is on 12 o`clock on the right and the two dots are not directly across from each other will that make a difference?because if they are that puts your "I" and "E" off of 12?

When you changed your timing belt, did you make sure the two dots where facing each other on the two gears the belt hooks to? If not then you engine is not in time and it won't start...ever. You have to make sure that is in properly. You should change the oil too.

Have you checked the timing belt?. I dont know what you mean when you say it wont turnover, just whines. It either DOES NOT CRANK, CRANKS, or it CRANKS BUT WONT RUN. Check the AUDIO fuse in the fuse box, it may have a yellow fuse holder around it.

Engin issues`

Sounds like the cat is clogged. Replace it. This is caused by bad gas or just because it got old. Also, have a look at ignition wires. Timing belts either are functioning or broken. They don't sound like anything. If you are at a recommended replacement point...do it. It's much cheaper than waiting for it to break. Engine damage could result upon breakage.
