My 2004 kia rio had 130,000 miles on it. I bought a timing belt kit, read everything I could on doing timing belts and did it as directed. I also replaced the water pump.
With all the timing marks lined up and TDC I started the car up before putting the covers and pulleys back on. She fired up and idled perfect. but when I gave it a little gas, hardly anything happened.
I figured maybe I was off a tooth. I took off the belt. readjusted the belt, fired her up. It started but now was missing a little and still not getting any RPM or power. By the fourth time I tried to get it perfect(thinking It must be a tooth off)it wouldn't even start.
I did a compression test had 70,120,70,120 lbs. Did I some how bend a valve? Can being off a tooth or two do that?
It was running great before I did the preventative maintenance. Im hoping maybe there is something I am missing. The belt broke at 62,000 miles while doing 80 mph on the freeway and there was no damage. a new belt was put on and it has run great for 70,000 miles tell I messed with it.
Any help or tips would be really appreciated. thank you.
