Hello, I just recently put a new timing belt in my 91 Talon and I was working on it today, I had the upper timing cover off and I was playin with the throttle when I hit the gas hard the belt started to jump up and down a bit. Is this normal? The belt is tight I tore everything apart and checked it out. Could the belt be streched? I just put it on maybe 5000 miles ago if that. Thanks in advance for any help.:talon::thumb:

try twisting the section between the two cam gears. if the belt twists more than a 1/4 turn, get it replaced ASAP. also check the tensioner to see if it sticks. if it does spray a little pb blaster on it to unstick it
 
auto tensioner buddy i tore mine apart 3 times before i figures that out yours sounds jus like how mine was check that first. then change the belt
