You will need the timing lock device that locks the crank and cam shafts for when you remove the old belt, (maybe able to hire one perhaps). The new belt will include markings and a water pump.
If you have never replaced one before, prepare to pay a garage a lot of money to put it right for you.
Your timing marks should be on the belt. There are two single lines and one double line across the surface of the belt. Each of the single lines line up with the cam shaft and the balance shaft drive gears. The double line lines up with the crank gear. If I remember right, there is a small mark on the oil pump housing that the crank mark lines up with and the cam mark is straight up and there are 2 other marks on the cam gear that line up with the head.
Depending on what engine you have, I know the 1.6 DOHC engine has the cam sensor right at the top front of the motor. You must make sure you have your timing belt serviced at the suggested intervals or you will have a large repair that you can't afford. The recommended service interval is 72,000 miles. If you do not have your belt changed at the service interval it will cost you upwards of 1,200 bucks to have it fixed after the valves are bent and need replacing.
Clear the codes. See if it was just a one-time thing, or if it will do it again.
Next step, you will have to get another Cam Sensor, and then replace it.
It is located on the passenger side of the engine, close to the head. you will need to remobe the engine cover, then remove the hose going from Intake manifold to airbox as well as the airbox to free up some space. Then, take off the timing belt cover. this part is diffficult due to the many botls and limited space, but it can be done in about 20 minutes. your sensor is located just inbetween and below the two CAM gears.
Hello momma_green: My name is Roger and I will help you. The 2005 Chevy Aveo 1.6 engine is a interference motor. That means if the timing belt breaks.The valves will be bent. I have one in my shop now that the belt broke on it. Bent all 16 valves and damaged all 4 pistons. This is not a forgiving motor. I wish I could tell you good news but I cant. Should you need further help please just ask. Please rate the answer you received. Thank You for using Fix Ya. Roger
