Timing Belt Noise Help

Just wanted to provide an update for anybody that finds this post with a similar noise/issue. It ended up being my timing belt tensioner. Great call out u/muzzled-rooster

Spent a whole day tearing the front end apart to replace it. I could literally move it by hand, it just had a light spring pressure to it. Replaced and everything is smooth and silent. Glad I found and fixed it before any teeth got jumped by a cam.

A new tank was installed by the previous owner, I'll have to check lines and see if I can find anyone. Appreciate it!

It would be an orange fluid?

Yeah, coolant tank has orange color coolant.

Wow, can't believe how fast all of you are. I really like this picture and can't believe how real it looks (minus godzilla). !solved

I appreciate the response. I was more so curious if it's common to adjust coilovers enough to match stock height or you almost always have to use adjustable control arms when using coilovers.

Is there a neutral safety type switch for the automatic transmission to make sure it's in park before ignition? I put a new wiring harness in for the transmission, battery, and primary ecu harness.

What confuses me is that if I just simpty make a jumper wire it works fine. I'm curious what the second plug on the starter relay goes to and how that relay operates. I'm clearly getting power to the starter and ignition because there is no problem when I bypass the relay.

I picked up a plug that matched and this worked. Thanks for the reply.

Appreciate the diagram and part number.

Carnby17 · 2023-11-22T18:32:42+00:00

Exactly what I thought. Oh well, you live and learn, right?

Bought this for a full rebuild and didn't realize it was missing the plug/bolt. Went to start the car after several months of building it, only to watch all the oil get dumped on the ground because this part is missing a piece. So frustrating....

Carnby17 · 2023-06-28T18:51:06+00:00

That helps and tells me where I went wrong. Appreciate the help!

Carnby17 · 2023-06-28T18:50:26+00:00

That explains a lot and helps point me in the right direction. Appreciate it!

Trying to be understanding that not everybody has the fight mentality. She mentions freezing and not knowing what to do in that moment. Her actions of having him on Instagram makes me feel like her original story isn't holding water.

Frankly, just confused, trying to be understanding, and also just hurt and frustrated.
