intermittent misfire after timing belt.

Installed new water pump and timing belt.

A little over my head but used some good videos to follow. Timing marks were lined up perfectly. Pulled the pin on the tensioner. Everything looked great. I forgot to rotate two times around to check, only remembered that after I started having problems.

Truck started right up and ran great. Ran it 10-15 miles no issues.

Next day on the way to work the cel flashed and the truck stumbled. 20 seconds later gas light comes on. Probably just a coincidence but I don't know.

Check with my BT OBD and it was a misfire on cylinder 5. Marked as a pending code. The CEL did not stay lit. Filled up with gas, two more stumbles but no CEL. Cleared the pending faults and drove another 15 miles before it happened again.

All were cylinder 5,

Switched coils , drove another 20 miles with no issue. I was hoping to see that the coil was bad by having the fault on the other cylinder.


So my question is could a timing belt that may have slipped a tooth or two cause an intermittent fault on only one cylinder? I know I am going to have to check it but probably won't have time for a day or two.

Any thoughts appreciated.
