More than likely, you've got bent valves that occurred when the timing belt broke. You may also have damaged pistons. |

Yuk - hope you bought it real, real cheap > > the person i bought the car from drove the car to the garage after the timing belt snaped. No they didn't. You don't drive cars with broken timing belts. Think about it... > after the new belt was put on the car sputters and stalls out. the only way to drive it is to drive with both feet. one constantly being on the gas. the engine is miss firing real bad. i have replaced the spark plugs, timing belt, wires, throttle position sencer. im out of options and i dont want to get rid of the car. some one please send me any ideas on what it might be. its driving me insane. Why would you have changed all of those things? You have to quit throwing parts at this car or you'll have a brand new car on your hands that still doesn't run. Since it broke the timing belt, it's quite likely to have valve train and possibly piston damage. Even if you miraculously escaped those with a broken belt, it sounds like who ever installed the new belt might not have properly timed the cam to the crank. You've got a lot more to look at (and I suspect a *lot* bigger problems) than plugs, wires and sensors. Get the pocket book ready... If this car really did break the timing belt as you believe, then I have to question the line about it going to a garage. No mechanic in their right mind would put a timing belt on an interference engine and send it out the door. Hell - no mechanic would put a timing belt or chain on any engine without tuning and testing. This sounds like something that was done in someone's garage - someone who had tools enough to be dangerous and not enough knowledge to be doing this kind of work. Hate to say it, but I think you got hooked. -- -Mike- mmarlowREMOVE@alltel.net |

Mostly likely bent valves and possibly damaged pistons and connecting rods. Best case would be mistimed cam when the new belt was installed. You almost certainly need to have the engine torn down and overhauled. Matt |

Re: help!!!
the person i bought the car from drove the car to the garage after the
timing belt snaped how is that possible, the engine would not be running if the timing belt snapped.. sounds like your have some busted valves etc from the timing belt snap. youll need to get your head looked at at a hyun dealer ....

Instead of randomly buying parts, spend $5 for compression gage. If you have 1 or more very low cylinders, there is probably damage from the broken timing belt. Valves get bent or chipped, piston crown broken, rings broken... not a pretty picture. -- Bob |
