Hey Guys,
Bought a non running 05 2.4l from an auction. Timing belt was missing teeth in multiple places, 3-4 teeth in some places. I turned the crank by hand and the camshaft timing marks lined up perfectly. What I did not notice was where the crank sensor blade was, if it was in the proper location. now the car cranks and I have spark but it still has no fuel which is another topic.
I shot fuel into the intake and it spit a fireball back at me. Leading me to believe that it is in fact out of time or I have some bent valves. I will compression test today and get back on that.
Question is this, how do I bring the engine back in time if it has slipped out. In other words how do I get the crankshaft back in time with the camshafts.
Is the only way to do that by removing the head??
any help is appreciated
Thank you
