3vze timing marks not aligned correctly
I just want some opinions on the positions of these timing marks I think the timing belt has jumped time on me while I'm waiting to replace the belt and related components.Crankshaft pulley notch is lined up with the 0 and the rotor is pointing at the #1 plug wire location on the cap
maybe this is why my engine feels like it has no power and idles rough but it starts on the first turn of the key
I put some white dots on the alignment marks for clarity
also posted at link below page #2 @ bottom of page

Thanks....and yes the notch on the crank pulley is aligned with the 0 on the #1 timing belt cover.
my #2 idler pulley is bad and also I think the hydraulic tensioner is also bad or going bad. I would suspect that at some point the belt jumped a tooth or two OR the person who installed the belt in the past may have installed it incorrectly.
Is it possible for a belt to jump a tooth if it is installed correctly and the proper tension is holding everything correctly?

No need to remove belt..you can make adj by loosening the distributor and adj timing there,,I did and it worked...

[QUOTE=TNRabbit;51147662]This is retarded advice; ignore it. it is practically impossible you jumped a tooth if it was installed correctly, so I vote installed wrong.[/QUOTET

I know that bruizer ment well, but I'm smart enough to know that the distributer will not correct this problem.I agree with you someone had to install the belt incorrectly as I suspected.
Thanks

Now as to your advice, you can reset the ignition timing to correct for the tooth being off but there is no way to fix the fact that the valves are not opening and closing at the right time by moving the distributor. You must loosen the belt and move the cam to the TDC mark and retighten the belt to correct incorrect valve timing.
Take care and have a great day,

Hey, no problem! Give me a call if you get into town. My 9-year old daughter loves to drive the FJ on the dunes west of ABQ. I spend about half my time in Anchorage (where my truck is) but if I'm in town, we could go play on the dunes. Take care,
