Re: replaced water pump now engine isnt quite running normal
You got the t-belt off a tooth it sounds like. That would be the first place to look for your issues.

However, they each could be off a tooth. You will not know untill you double check. There are 48 teeth on your cam sprockets, that means that each tooth off is 7.5° of cam timing off. Since the camshafts turn at 1/2 the speed of the crankshaft, thats only 3.75° off on crankshaft. Not much really. If it were off one tooth at the crankshaft, it would be off the full 7.5°. Much more noticable when driving. I always remove the radiator so that I can reach and see things better when changing a timing belt. Tom

Re: replaced water pump now engine isnt quite running normal
I had the same problem with it being off a tooth (really 2 I think it was) and it had a hunting idle and definatly had a loss of power. I didnt drive it but 5 miles while it was like that I think but get it fixed
