I have a 2g eclipse gst it only has 30,000 miles on the engine. But my water pump went early. So I recently did a water pump and timing belt change. I was having trouble lining up the marks after a few times of taking the belt off and putting it back on I finally got them lined up but when I tensioned the belt the marks were off. I turned the crank several times and the marks were off. But what was odd, the oil sprocket and crank sprocket were off a half tooth but the cam sprockets were lined up. When I started up the car the idle dropped like 200 rpms I adjusted it back to normal. When I drove it afterwards it ran fine, no noticeable power loss still pulls hard. No misfires. It seems to be running normal. Could the timing be off?
