Decided to do a little inspection today after doing a few things that clued me in to check my timing belt.
Removed Ignition, and tested vacuum while cranking engine Got between 1 and 2" Hg, and it was bouncing between the two. (not steady)
Noticed excessive? air being pulled through PCV valve at idle and low throttle. makes a clicking sound while at idle.
Vacuum at idle is about 18" Hg
Have redone a lot on this vehicle which was done improperly by a previous owner/shop.
Stinky smell at WOT?
Fuel trims are ok, slightly positive (3%) in general. Its hard to say whether I'm having power issues.
Took off my timing belt cover to look at the notches. Used a scope to see the bottom crank, a little tricky to line up and know for sure. Any experienced folks want to weigh in?
