What I was told is that you look at the belt; if you see more than 7 "cracks" per inch, it is time to replace the timing belt. A timing belt can look perfectly fine and be ready to break. This is why they are replaced at a scheduled mileage or every 10 years no matter what they look like. So the bottom line is you cannot know when it needs replacing by just looking at it. Your owners manual will list when it needs replacing.
It is not like a belt and pulley. A timing belt is a belt and it fits on a pulley.
Sounds like a belt or belt tensioner needs to be replaced
2000 Honda has a timing belt its like a serpentine belt timing chains are used on some v 8 engines though most are the timing belts should be replaced every 40 thousand miles
The 2.5s have timing chains. Chains are much longer lasting and do NOT need to be replaced at 60-100k miles like a rubber belt would.
Sounds like the timing is off just a bit ur getting the start of detonation which makes the pinging noise ur hearing. That is the most logical (as or if ) it was not pinging before the timing belt was replaced.
Check Timing First Sounds Like That Is Your Problem. If it turns out to not be the ignition timing, it could also be the camshaft timing. If your camshaft is mistimed it means that your timing chain or timing belt has slipped and must be replaced.
To me, it sounds like a timing belt (chain) needs replaced but are you sure there is no spark? If it just quit on you w/out notice, tunrs over but will not start-you likely have to replace the timing belt. Same thing happened to me- Toyato Tacoma w/about 162k miles on it.
This is like asking "when should I have the cylinders reground or the oil pump replaced. A timing chain is not like a timing belt in that it is not subject to 80,000 mile replacement. So, keep your oil changed every 3000 miles and drive on.Good luck !!!
it depends. is it a chained-like timing belt or a continuous piece of fabric-like timing belt?
This problem sounds like a loose or worn alternator belt. The belt needs to be tightened or replaced and this should fix it.
My 98 Camry has about 230K. Recently I had to do some smog related stuff like replace the Catalytic converter which is expensive. But up to now, the most major thing has been timing belt and brake replacement(timing belt needs to be replaced about very 125K - man.recommends 85K, but when I replaced mine, it looked almost new). I'm looking to keep this car for another 50K or so miles.
