Hello group, I finished my timing belt change the other day I started it and it ran okay but I had to deal with the RAT hole in my heater hose so I worked on that yesterday. Today, I decided to take a short drive and after the car warmed up then it started idling poorly...
I want to ask two questions:
Last week when the hole in my heater hose was discovered, I drove 2.2 miles and the temp. got really high the last 3 blocks, I decided to keep going but I never ran the engine hard 1/4 throttle. I did the timing belt and I checked the timing 2x spinning the crank manually and it came up good, the engine revs normally but once the engine got to normal temp. it idled very rough and stalled...
Wondering if you think the timing is off and that means taking the covers off again and adjusting if it's off or do you think something could have happened when the motor got hot. Or could it be a bit of both... What should I do?
Appreciate your help this real nightmare.
