first it has a tough time getting started and gives out a LOUD squeek before it fires up, and if i rev too high it dies...

help! :confused:
 
Uhhhh, obviously he didn't mention this problem when I posted on the first page, just get an aftermarket oil pressure gauge the stock one is crap anyways. :rolleyes:

I didnt mean to hurt your feelings,

and yes parsts dinosaur is a great place to do business, or extreme psi. Both affordable.
 
Went I took of the timing belt cover I pushed down on the belt and there was abit if give... I could wiggle it left to right but not move it off the gears.. Could this be evidence of incorrect positioning?


no, this is not how you should inspect this, because the way you just did is a belt tension inspection not a timing alignment inspection, you must align the marks from the gears, and all that good stuff to make sure its timed correctly, rotate the crank, it might take up to 6 rotations to get the correct alignment so all marks are aligned where they should, if they dont then one of your gears pushed the timing belt up and it fell on the gear again but by a tooth off because the gear itself rotated by itself while it sprung the belt up, you might have weakend belt tensioner that caused this:hmm:

again, thats if this is the case
 
i have knocking like that but its not constant.. I really like how you were showing the knocking your car was making.. then said screw it, ill show off the rest of my car, pimp my ride style LOL. Is your oil low?
 
give us a video of you moving the belt man
