I bought this car and it seemed to run ok. I had to replace the oil pump seal , so I changed the timming belt. The timing belt seems to be 1/2 tooth off. I have checked it and rechecked it. Also I discovered the ISC was unpluged. I pluged it in and the car idles around 2000 rpm, and the idle speed goes up and down. With the ISC unpluged, it was throwing a ISC code, but with it pluged in ,it is only throwing a tps code I thought the Isc motor and valve were bad, but would a bad TPS cause it to idle very fast and vary. The thing that confusing me is with the ISC unpluged when I got it, it was idleing ok. Also, if the timing belt was off 1 tooth, would that make it idle fast?

Hi the IISC the TPS can both cause erratic and fast idling, also air leaks, the Volume Air Flow sensor to name a couple of other causes, as the code points to the TPS i would be inclined to trust the code, i would want to get the timing right but that in itself wouldn't cause the problem you are having, poor performance would be,

How to change oil pump on 2005 f150 4.6

The oil pump runs off the timming belt. You must remove the timing cover and timing belt to replace it. If you dont have the tool to set the cams for timing I wouldnt even attempt this job as a weekend warrior project

Audi a4 alt motor sounds like running on 3 cylinders

Robert your going have to check the oil pressure the oil pumps on these engines tend to let go. What happens the key way that drives the gear strips and at low rpms it doesn't pump oil to the top of the motor but when you rev it the gear spins a little faster that's why it makes less noise you will have to replace the oil pump. As for the missing the hydrolic lifters are no working properly because of the low oil pressure.

Do the timing belt cover on a 1996 camry have a seal or gasket that can leak oil, mine seems to be leaking for around that area. If so how to replace the seal/gasket?

The timing cover itself does not seal any oil from leaking. It is just a cover to prevent debris from getting into the timing belt and ruining it.

To find the oil leak you will need to remove the timing cover and inspect the seals behind the cam gear, crank gear, and oil pump drive gear, and the oil pump to block seal. The most common leaks on these are the cam gear.

I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/jeremy_d728a59f986299fa

Elantra Timing Belt off by one tooth

The timing system is very precise regarding fuel trims (fuel map). If the timing is, in fact, one tooth off, I'm surprised you haven't had a 'Check Engine' light with the DTC of P0016 - Crank position to Cam position Correlation and P0010 Camshaft Position-Timing Over-Advanced or System Performance(Bank 1). This condition will definitely affect fuel efficiency - no doubt about it. You can verify this by checking the ECU fuel trim data adaptives (OBDII scanner) - they should be near 100% (or zero '0.0'). You might also get a P0171 or P0172 - System too Lean or Rich.

1997 geo metro died while driving.

I had a similar problem with my 1987 ford escort. In this case I knew before hand what was going to happen. My water pump was going bad and loosened up the timing belt enough for belt to slip. Once that timing belt moves in position then things run bad and finally quit as mine did.

I am guessing this is the case for you also. I have changed out 3 timing belts on different escorts now, the first took about 2 days but the last took about 15 mins. The belt in my case only cost about 30 dollars.

Hope this helps

My 2002 PT Cruiser died on the side of the road yesterday. The car has 95,000 miles and I beleive the serpentine belt broke. Had the car towed to the dealership and before the service adviser had someone...

The reason the service writers always recommend that the water pump be changed along with the timing belt and cam and crank seals, is that they are all located together, and it takes a long time (which you pay for) to take everything off to get to the area, so you may as well replace the other things which will go out soon with that high of a mileage anyway. Altogether, it runs between $500-$700, but it should last you another 100,000 miles. Your serpentine belt should cost about $130 parts and labor. If you are in doubt or the dealership has a bad reputation, have it towed somewhere else. Any time you have doubts, cal the BBB in your area and ask questions.

I need to replace my water pump

1 of 2 places , check to see if its running on your fan belt. if so its easy to replace. if you cant see it it means it located @ the timing belt, you will have to remove the timming cover and the timming belt, if you are willing to do so I can assist but it is difficult if you have no experiace. Why do you want to replace what seems to be the problem?
