Timing belt problems

[TXMazdaSpeeder]

So em and my dad changed my timing belt, accessory belts, water pump, and tensioner spring yesterday. And now my car runs like complete asshole. I checked and double checked everything as i put it back on including the timing marks. The car runs like its out of time and is not throwing any codes. Anybody have any idea wth is going on?

Sounds like your of a tooth.

 

[TXMazdaSpeeder]

Yeah thats what it was, i was off a tooth on the crank gear. Oops.

Did you turn the engine over 2 revolutions by hand as per the FSM?

 

[TXMazdaSpeeder]

yeah and the cam timing marks lined up but during the course of the belt change with the belt off i turned the crank so even though the cams were on time the crank was off.

 

[kytuner]

That'll do it. my first try, I had no manual so i put on the tensioner spring first, and stretched it when putting the belt on.

I think there is a TSB on this http://www.finishlineperformance.com/docs/01-022-06-1642.pdf see if this one applies to you.

Cheers!

Glad to see you got it figured out, it's good to see that you guys are able to do most of the work on your own cars.

it helps that i was a techinician at honda for a year and a half and ive been helping my dad restore a 69 camaro z28 over the last 4 years so i have a pretty exstensive set of tools and a 3 car garage to work in at my parents house.

LOL I also worked at a honda dealer as a tech, I worked there for about 6yrs.

 

[TXMazdaSpeeder]

yeah id still be working there except for a slight conflict wiht a coworker.

Damn don't we have interference engines? I'm suprised you did not blow it up...

 

[Maxx Mazda]

FS is non interference.

 

[dirtysouth_msp]

FS is non interference.

Ah, I see, good to know. For some reason I always thought it was interference and when I did my build I treated it as though it was. By doing that, I got it right the first time though, lol.

 

[Maxx Mazda]

If you run some crazy cams it can be an interference engine, but stock it's not.

 

[TXMazdaSpeeder]

Ok so we made sure the timing was on and everything was where it was supposed to be and now the car wont start at all, wtf mate. Its getting fuel, spark, and air but it still wont start.

When you are cranking the engine, Does the Water Temp needle move? If it goes up, you blew a 15 amp fuse in the interior fuse compartment.

Did you accidently move the Crank Position sensor?

 

[Maxx Mazda]

Ya, look under the hood, and check your IGN fuse (unless you get spark) but that was my prob. It's a big square one with a clear top IIRC.

 

[TXMazdaSpeeder]

I removed the crankshaft posistion sensor when i removed the pulley because the protege shop manual says so, as far as i can see it only goes in one way so theres no adjustments. am i incorrect?

 

[Maxx Mazda]

Correct. It only goes one way.
