I didn't want to hijack that other guys thread so here I am posting about my own problem.
I haven't really gotten to take off the covers on the car to see if it's even the timing belt. Well this happened to me once already.. I was driving on the freeway right after I finished my swap and I just put in a new timing belt along with other things.. I found myself just cruising at around 75mph and when I tried to switch lanes I gave it some gas and no power...I pulled over and tried to crank up the car. The car starts and then just dies.. so the timing belt was changed with autozone brand one..(yes yes I know i'm going to hear it..) it turns out that it skipped a tooth or so...
Now here I am coming back from an mr2 meet and the same thing happens.. I ran across this thread: http://www.mr2oc.com/showthread.php?t=86273
I won't take my chances this 2nd time around so I'll order a toyota OEM belt and see if I can find a new oem tensioner. Has anyone on this forum ever had a tensioner fail? spring get soft or what?? I have so much things on my car that don't even know if this is the real problem.. I'm going to do a compression test tonight or tomorrow to see if I can get even compression on all cylinders hoping that it's only the timing belt (*crosses fingers*)
btw, does the jdm largeport 4agze use the same timing belt as the usdm 4agze?
