O.K .. Looked up Chilton, it says loosen tensioner and tighten with a prybar to firm tension and then retighten bolt. But that also was for DOHC. Could not find for SOHC.
I am 3 years younger then you. My question is how is your back and knees?! If you have a desire to do it,why not? We will probably all have to work untill we are 90 before we will have a retirement coming up here in the future!
There is tight, and over tight. Although usually a overtightened timing belt will make more of a wwuurrr noise. (hope you get the sound!) Most manuals should have how to tension them. Some have a block with a spring that pushes a certain amount of tension, and some may have lines in a tensioner pulley that you line up. I have to admit, I typically go a little on the tight side.
A vacuum leak may still exist with out setting a code. The long term fuel trim would probably be over 20% before setting a code. I have been trying to find one and will eventually give in and see if I can find some one who has a smoke machine.
I think too many people have been telling so called wise tails on this. If your transmission goes out cause of changing tranny fluid, it would be probably that the person who done it did not get the filter to seal at connection point, or it fell off not long after you did it, or not proper fluid level, and possibly it was already showing signs of failure. I have been hearing this in the last few years and wonder if it is their lucky charm that it ran this long, so do not jinx it!
Sounds crazy but, my mom has a 96 or 97 Saturn that was doing the same thing. It is well known for the ECT (engine coolant temp) to do some funky things on the Saturn. ECT was changed, and a few possible leaks in the emission system was taken care of and now works like it should.
Just why on the subject. Rich Pin has another video on a tool for air hammer that will break loose bleeder screws with out breaking. Only problem I see is, some cars you would never get your tools in with out removing everything!
Rich pin is a link from Eric The Car Guy.I still prefer the extra person for pushing the pedal to bleed.
I had picked up a junky probably Harbor freight press a few years back. The old boy that had it was in pretty poor health, so I bought it. It says 10 or 12 ton on it. I would be scared to try either on this thing.
I am amazed at what I have been able to do with it. I would say it pretty well paid for its self the first time I used it since I paid maybe 50 to 75 bucks for it.
For most auto projects you do not need extreme pressures.Thanks for the replies.
I have also been looking at the Pico’s. ADPT has one they are selling that takes a lap top also. Unsure about the system for they want you to get a “weboscope hardware subscription service”. I have not determined if that is the only way it will work or not.
Any how, I guess I will keep dreaming for now!Thanks, Eric. I am afraid to try putting cleaner in the tank for just that reason. I had done that a number of years ago. Make a long story short, ended up taking tank out to clean, new filter, and replacing injectors with some used ones I saved back. Just in the name of cleaning the fuel system!
I am not really up on the system that this has, but know it is supposed to regulate flow with rpm’s. Only notice taking off at stop light.
I have a few more vac lines I have to change before I try any thing else. Third Gear has me wondering if I still may have a border line fuel pressure. I guess that maybe my next home work to figure out!
