#165 of 183 You must differentiate between “Drive Belts, Timing Belts & Timing Chain. by hjazim13 Mar 14, 2009 (12:15 pm)
Dear collogues: You must differentiate between “Drive Belts, Timing Belts & Timing Chain. As each one of them means different thing As follows:   1- Drive Belts are the external forward belts those drive the FWD accessories like generator, cooling fans, air-condition compressor, etc. 2- Timing Belts same as Timing Chain except they are made from Serpentine rubber Belts. 3- Timing Chain same as Timing Belts except they are made from durable metals. 4- Both Timing Chain & Timing Belts work internally. 5- So your car either has Timing Chain or Timing Belts. 6- DON’T confuse your self between Timing Chain & Timing Belts. 7- Timing Chain last very long time as long as you replace your oil                 regularly at least every 5000 KMs.   Best Regards.

Replying to: wenkerkk (Mar 12, 2009 7:06 pm) I have a 93 Camry V6 and it has a start-up of about 3-5 sec., cold. I read a post about the idle valve could be dirty. Also I notice one of the sensor at the coolant outlet by the throttle will make start up difficult if I disconnect it. I think it sends a signal to the cold start injector.This sensor makes it idle too fast too long after start-up.Maybe for for about 5min with outside temp 40-60 degrees on my Camry.I hope to change it soon and see the start-up time change to 1-2 sec.   On timing issues, the car would run rough if not done correctly. Correctly, being out of time. I doubt that, but these cars don't really have any tune-up items. I would think a new set of plug wires and some plugs, and cleaning of the throttle plate with alcohol. That's my major tune up.

Replying to: hjazim13 (Mar 14, 2009 12:15 pm) I replaced the timing belt on my civic 01 when it was 107000 kms and replaced the new engine when it was 176000 kms because all the rod bearing and main bearing were bad.   How long will the timing chain last on these new camry and what will be the cost to replace them?

Replying to: hvtec2002 (Mar 25, 2009 9:20 am) A long, long time - 150-200K miles easily if the oil is changed regularly.

Replying to: bookman3 (May 10, 2009 8:55 am) do you have the I-4 cylinder, or the V- 6 cylinder?
#171 of 183 Should tensioner break 2600 miles after timing belt replaced? by seattletwodogs May 24, 2009 (4:39 pm)
At 86,000 miles I had the timing belt replaced on my 2001 Camry V6, as part of general maintenance. The invoice noted that timing belt tensioner bolt froze, and needed to be removed to replace the timing belt, The technician noted "can't heat bolt, so cut bolt, drilled out bolt, retap threads and installed new bolts."   After driving the car for 2600 miles, it died and had to be towed to the dealership that did the original job. They said they found a "failed crank sensor" which they replaced. The invoice said the following were also replaced: tensioner assembly for the timing belt, thread insert, and bolt.   Do you think the original job was not done correctly or is it just a coincidence that what was fixed the second time had do do with the timing belt.   Thanks in advance for your response.

Replying to: seattletwodogs (May 24, 2009 4:39 pm) its definitely not a coincident for one you do not cut a bolt because its froze you put penetration oil on it and then put a breaker bar on it and it will brake it loose or it will snap the bolt you really have no way to cut the bolt with the tensioner on. they probably cross threaded it when they where putting it on and then did a sloppy job rethreading it so the bolt didn't hold and the tensioner comes off gets rapped up and takes out the crank sensor I would definitely get a refund they do not know what there doing sue them for the damages there's to many lousy mechanics out there that charge for there own screw ups.
#173 of 183 1997 toyota camry timing belt by kth713 Jul 14, 2009 (7:57 pm)
I have a 97 camry and was driving friday and heard a noise coming from the engine it sounded like something clanging around inside, after driving a little way it sounded like whatever it was broke. I am assuming it is the timing belt that broke. I pulled over and opened the hood and looked underneath the car and noticed it was leaking fluid. My AAA driver told me it was anti-freeze that was leaking. could a broken timing belt cause the water pump to get damaged? A reply would be greatly appreciated. Oh yea I have 122,000 miles on the car. If I try starting the car it won't start and I get that same noise and it will start to leak anti-freeze.
