Timing Question
 

How do you know if your timing belt is off a tooth or so. I am currentley having a problem with my engine whare it won't rev over 3000 rpms, someone suggested i check the timing, i played with the destributor and it does'nt seem to make any difference. If I was off a tooth would that stop it from reving over 3000 rpms? Is there any easy way , besides taking off the side covers and the valve cover to see if the timing belt was off?

is there any problem at idle? if it was off a tooth, your motor would run really sluggish.

wat motor? wat car?

It starts rough, sometimes kills, idels ok though. Doesn't have that great of pick up under 3000 rpms either.

Taking off the valve cover and the upper timing cover is the easiest way I can think of.

Last time I did a timing belt on a GSR, I had the same problem. Took it for a test drive and it pulled poorly, but it would rev over 3 grand.

No CELs?
