i think my timing belt skipped a tooth

[eclipsekid1013]

i have a 93 talon na its a 6 bolt the marks in the cam gears dont line up so i think i skipped a tooth or 2 this could cause the car to not start rght? and just replaacing the timing belt and zeroing out the motor would fix this right

you might have bent some valves

1 tooth should cause some rough idle.
2 teeth should cause it to run bad throughout the band.
3 teeth should bend valves.

This is for a 4G63T.

yes, that will cause the car not to start. ive heard that you can bend valves when you skip tooths though too. so i would be careful.

I don't know that that "would" fix it. It could(if your lucky). Run a compression test on it to see if you bent any valves

Chances are you bent some.
