Ok, so i figured i'd save a few bucks by doing my own timing belt. I finished it on sunday, and shortly after starting the car began to idle a little rough, not enough to stall, just a little bumpy. After driving the car 1/4 mile the engine light came on. The resulting code was 1390 which i understand to be timiing belt off 1 tooth or more. I double checked the timing i can't tell you how many times before bolting everything together. If the camshaft or crank sensor were not working properly would they have their own problem codes ? Also, assuming my belt is actually off 1 tooth, would the engine even run ? The vehicle runs fine, the engine revs and drives like normal, apart from the rough idling.
The last question i have. Is there any other way to remove the 2 long motor mount bracket bolts ? I ended up jacking the motor up just to remove the front bolt, and then i was able to pull the bracket and bolt out. I must have beat myself in the head for 3 hours trying to get those 2 bolts out, they just have so little clearance between the block and the fender.
I plan on volt testing both sensors this evening.
Any help would be greatly apprciated.
