so i need 2 get my car inspected CEL wont go off says its timing belt skipped a tooth how do i fix it?

 

inspect the timing belt for damage or wear, or replace it anyways, and correct the timing cause when it skipped a tooth the timing changed then erase the code from the pcm.

 

spud? anyone?

 

just what fink said.

EDIT: cept that code isn't a safety nor an emission code so would it still matter?

 

ive had that code before and the timing was just fine. It was a while ago but i think it was just bad plug wires. Ya it was cause it was my msd wires that went bad after having them for a year. But definitly check the timing anyways never hurts to be sure.

 

ya but i got the p code p1390 which is timing belt skipped a tooth.

 

i ordered a timin belt kit how much should it ruffly cost to get it dun?

 

ya i hade code 11 and a misfire code when i had a plg wire go bad. are you doing the belt yourself? if not a mechanic should beable to do just the belt in a few hours if its a water pump and a belt its a little longer. it takes me roughly 3 hrs to do head gasket and all sometimes less depends on wether condition lol.

 

waterpump was chaned like a thousand miles ago if that, uncle didnt change the belt said it loojed good.
