Confusing Timing Issues
Hi all! I'm really hoping I'm posting this in the correct forum! My apologies, in advance, if I'm not.
My mother has a 97 Honda CRV, AWD. Recently her timing belt broke, while she was driving. Before the vehicle stopped running, my mother noticed that the motor seemed to be "surging," for a couple of miles. When she slowed down, turning into her drive way, the vehicle completely stopped running. Hoping that no permanent damage was done, the timing belt was replaced. Unfortunately, I'm not the person who replaced it, so may not be able to ask all of the questions that you may ask, but I'll do my best.
Immediately after the timing belt was replaced, a broken distributor cap was also replaced. The vehicle ran just fine, approximately a week, driving about 15 miles each day.
After that time, the Engine Check (Emissions Control) light came on, solid. The vehicle also started running rough, trying to die at low RPMs. Acceleration would cause the light to blink, until it shifted, then the light would return to solid.
The person who did the mechanical work scanned for codes and came up with a code (though I don't know the code). Something was also said about a specific "blinking series" of the Check Engine (Emissions Control) light, meaning something in particular.
I just took the vehicle to Auto Zone and had it put on a scanner.
The scanner returned the following codes:
P0301
P0302
P0303
P0304
P1300
P1399
The person at AutoZone, supposedly used to work at a Honda dealership, as a mechanic. He suggested that maybe the Tensioner Pulley hadn't been tightened, allowing the belt to slip. He had no other explanation as to why it would have ran fine, for a week, before all of this started.
I plan to speak with the person who did the mechanical work, but figured I'd post here first, in case there were some specific questions you all suggested that I ask him.

Re: Confusing Timing Issues
300 codes are missfire, and the last digit is what cylinder is missfiring. Looks like youve got all 4 misfiring, which leads me to think its out of time. Id have to agree that i think the timing belt may have slipped.
