outoway Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Well, the other day was driving home and the pathy just stopped dead in its tracks and wouldn't start up again. Had AAA tow it home.... First thing I checked was the timing belt, as was told it would need on soon. It just happened to be off by 2 teeth. So, put new timing belt, water pump etc on. It still wouldn't start, so I popped off the distributor cap, and low and behold found my problem... the bolt that hold the rotor button in place had fallen out! It must have jambed the distributor enough to cause the tbelt to jump. Got it fixed and back on the road.... nice thing is I don't have to worry about the tbelt for another 60k!!!
