I have just installed new timing belt in my daughters lancer oz, rally.
it sounds like the tming is off there was a white mark on the cam sprocket
in the groove too the left of timing line on sprocket . I installed it on the line
and when I rotated the engine, twice they lined back up.just like the book tells you.
the idle is rough.And stutters if i throttle it quick.
Should i rotate the belt one tooth lft or rt.? or check somthing else.I installed new waterpump and crank positioning sensor.diddnt want to go back and do it later.

Any help or ideas will be greatly apriciated.

 

always rotate to the right. did you align the marks on the head and crank? it shouldnt have moved to much if any when you removed it.

 

Just to be sure you lined up thses marks correct?



Also when installing the timing belt you want to start at the cam and follow the engine rotation keeping the belt tight of course so from the cam sprocket >water pump > crank gear > then slide it over the tensioner pulley. then make sure to slightly rotate the engine just maybe a 1/4 turn with that tensioner loose so all the slack gets soaked up by that spring on the tensioner pulley to have to correct belt tension. Then tighten the pulley up and rotate the engine at least twice to confirm the marks line back up good luck

 

nice job 03, what happened did your oil pan explode?

 

Lol luckily this was not my engine it was another lancer I was doing work on at the time and someone else on here was asking about timing so I took some pics for them.

 

thats good thats what mine looked like before i took it out and dropped a new one in. good job on the pics brother.

 

Thanks man

 

I have a 2003 Lancer (2.0) I Changed the timing belt, tentioner, water pump and seal. I put it back together and fires up fine. However on the test drive it seems it looses power when taking off.

 

Could be any number of things. Have you changed plugs lately? Could need to clean the injectors, new air filter. Lots of things

 

Got it guys thanks aaaalot!!!! Timing was of and changed da spark plugs and everything...now she takes off like a rocket...once again thanks alot and God bless !!!
