What are the symptoms of misaligned timing belt?
1 Answers
The symptoms of misaligned timing belt are: 1. If the timing belt deviation is minor, the car will experience weak acceleration and difficulty climbing slopes; 2. If the timing belt deviation is significant, the car will have no idle speed, severe idle vibration, abnormal noises from the exhaust pipe, and engine stalling when accelerating; 3. If the timing belt deviation is very large, the car will fail to start, there will be knocking sounds inside the engine, and it may even lead to major engine repairs. The timing belt is a rubber component, and as it ages over time, its stretching may exceed the limit, causing the timing sprocket to slip. When inspecting the belt, if you notice reduced hardness, corrosion, fiber breakage, or cracks, it should be replaced promptly.
