yep, thats right, I had my belt, auto tensioner, balencer shaft belt, and h20 pump all replace and the car didn't run the same since. Well less than 1,000 miles later my timming belt slipped.
Does anyone know if this can just happen randomly? or is it more likely something that the mechanic jacked up while trying to fix it?

I'm pretty sure the auto tensioner is still ok and that the belt just skipped some teeth.

Just trying to get some info so that I can persue the mechanic to help me pay for the new bill. Thanks for any ideas guys...

 

I can hear the h23 manual tensioner conversion calling.

 

It should not ever slip "randomly" so there is either something broken or the install was not done right.
