    Timing Belt Kits???

    Anyone have suggestions for the kit to purchase? Where to get it and what to look out for. I gather there is a variation in price and quality. Any good trusted sources. Looks like a lot of the parts are also use in a few other cars/motors? Thanks!

    [2002 Protege ES] Cleaning IAC Valve - Removal procedure help??
