Jumped Timing Chain Or Belt Symptoms, Causes, and The Fixes

[@caronlynch8593]

Amazing video, ihave a mapped audi TT, i had it serviced just 1 week ago, the garage empty the old oil and then dont top up the new oil, the oil light came on 3 days later, now its got engine warning light and they claim its the chain, would lack of oil do that please x

[@motorcarnut]

Absolutely .Timing chain tensioners need oil and oil pressure or they could jump timing.

[@caronlynch8593]

Thank you so much, the garage didnt put oil in after the service, now the chain is jumping and they want to charge me 1000 for their mistake! Thank goodness for good people like you explaining these things ❤

[@motorcarnut]

@caronlynch8593 No problem! You’re in the right and should pay

[@Mark-jz4dz]

Thank you for the explanation. I changed the tensioner on my sons 2009 Corolla. I believe during this process I made the chain jump a tooth. We are now getting a P0017 code. My question is, car seems to run fine, is it drivable for a few days? Seems to run fine. I just don't want to cause issues. In fixing this issue, can I just open the valve cover and loosen/remove the tensioner. Put at tdc and make sure the cams are aligned and to correct the timing or am I going to have to remove the entire cover? Can I adjust timing from the top with only the valve cover off? Thank you.

[@motorcarnut]

If nothing is hitting anything you can drive it like that but not too long. If you can re due the timing like you said go for it , if it saves time.

[@Mark-jz4dz]

@@motorcarnut . Thank you for responding! That's the plan put the crank at tdc and timing mark. Open valve cover and see where it is. Undo tensioner and move cams to correct position. Put tensioner back on and manually inject the tension with a long pic. Then turn the crank a few revolutions clockwise and verify timing marks are correct on cams. I really don't want to open it all up. Hopefully this will work.

[@motorcarnut]

@Mark-jz4dz good luck!

How would I go about fixing a p1009

[@motorcarnut]

@LuisTheCarGuy what vehicle?

[@GooosFrawBaw-h]

i have a 1988 honda crx that someone wants me to see if i can get running. i found that it has jumped time. not exactly sure why it jumped yet but that is my question. how do i diagnose weather it is the tensioner or not. and how would i know if it messed other things up ? should i just try to fix timing and see if it runs?

[@motorcarnut]

That's the easiest thing to do, readjust timing, changed tensioner and belt and see if it starts. Could of bent valves but if it runs good it didn't. Good luck!

[@damianspears2469]

Is it just as expensive to correct timing after a new chain and tensioners installed as it is to correct the timing after? Just had the job done and I think timing is off a little

[@motorcarnut]

Almost because you have to take everything a part again.

[@brandonroberts5642]

Older video but I have a 2014 accord that oddly enough, runs great. Just bought it for my daughter for Xmas and come to find out, has the known issue of tensioner causing slapping noise of the belt til engine warms up. Anyway, went to change it and discovered the timing from crank to cams is about 4 teeth off on both cams. No CEL and, like I said, surprisingly runs fine. Any potentially negative things I should look for before letting daughter have it on the road?

[@motorcarnut]

I don't follow? You replaced the timing belt and it's off 4 teeth? Car won't run off that much so I'm not sure what your talking about?

[@brandonroberts5642]

@ no. I’m about to replace it and it’s off 4 teeth. I can’t share the pics here but using the marks on the block looking down from top of engine, crank aligns with the timing marks but the cam sprockets don’t. Counting the teeth, they’re off 4 teeth and engine still runs and has very good power

[@motorcarnut]

You don't do it that way, it's probably not off. Just get the repair procedure for your timing belt and follow that. I didn't make a video on the timing belt vehicles just the timing chain ones. You can check online at library in your area for repair procedure if you don't have one already. Alldata has a DIY for $20.00 for the month for one vehicle.

[@espantomato13]

Dam I think my lack of oil in engine made my tensioner malfunction. Timing chain is jumping and car wont start. Checked and cleaned all sensors with crank and camshaft timing then noticed my oil was low and chamged it then tried starting and already had engine cover off too see valves and the chain guide was broken and timing chain was jumping causing the crank no start . This video helped figure out my issue

[@motorcarnut]

Thank you very much for the feedback, appreciated! Unfortunately, Yes, it’s a common problem that happens if you don't have enough oil, especially in modern day vehicles with variable valve timing.

[@Slick-Jay]

I did my timing chain and had to fit in a crank seal as well but didn't do a proper job. So it leaked for over a year. Now I got the leak fixed a week ago but can hear a tick in my engine. Could it be a bad tensioner?

[@motorcarnut]

Timing chains can have a ticking noise, the reasons may be a lot of things like stretched timing chain, the tensioner, low oil pressure, camshaft actuator etc.

[@genevagiselle6812]

My 2002 Mitsubishi eclipse I believe jumped timing. My car over heated because I didn’t have enough coolant in it and I had it flushed and then it was refilled with coolant a couple times later fown the road it completely just stopped and I couldn’t push the gas or break and I pulled over and hit the emergency break and then cut the car off!! It will crank but not start and the mechanic said that is a good sign!! Does that sound like a jumped timing belt?

[@motorcarnut]

Sounds like a blown head gasket from the overheating to me.

[@energyneverdies1234]

2014 dodge charger 3.6 sxt go to start tries to crank almost turns over but wont try to start couple times until i smell gas & stop could this be chiming chain? Fuel pump makes the electrical noise before attempting to start & fuses are good. Any advise appreciated...I'm broke down in the drive way.

[@motorcarnut]

By what you’re saying yes it can be timing chain but other things can cause that too. Try doing a compression check first I have videos on that too.

[@mef12727]

Start with the codes if you have any. I'm battling the same thing. My code is for cam sensor P0340.

[@tyquan61rdSTLSTL]

My car wouldn't start one morning , mechanic said it has very low compression (10) across all 4 cylinders on my bk1 2.0t , they said the timing went out on start up (the starter) and not while driving , so maybe a few hundred RPMS , do u think it would've done alot of damage or is the engine salvagable?

[@tyquan61rdSTLSTL]

I never heard a pop or anything it just wouldn't start one morning

[@motorcarnut]

You may have not damaged the valves so just put a new timing belt on and before you put to all back together try to start it and see how it runs.

[@Trixster-m3g]

Is it possible that the timing chain tightened. Because my engine is slow cranking and not turning over it seems to needs more power to the starter

[@motorcarnut]

No it’s not. If your battery is good and fully charged it might be the starter motor starting to fail or the engine jumped timing or engine is seized.

[@Zaikclon950]

Hello, i have a 2005 corolla CE and it has the cold start rattle. I changed the tensioner recently but nothing is changed. Is it worth changing the whole timing chain? it has 203K miles on it

[@Chubbers409]

Hey, I recently had my timing belt on my 2010 accent replaced. Ran great for about 30 minutes and now i’m getting a p0016 code. Any ideas on what the problem may be?

[@motorcarnut]

Got to make sure timing belt didn't jump a tooth from being loose. Easy way is to check colder compression. crank or cam sensor reluctor wheel damaged but I don't think so or an electrical problem, one of the sensors not pushed in all the way.

[@Chubbers409]

@ Thank you for your response! So it’s most likely just not timed right or maybe off by 1 tooth. Sorry im not sure what you meant by “colder compression”

[@motorcarnut]

Sorry, meant do a cold cylinder compression test, that will tell you if the valve timing is off.

I do have a question. I drove back from a 2hr drive. Parked my HEMI and next morning it was as though the battery was dead until after a few attempts to crank it finally started cranking. Now, no compression in at least 4 cylinders. No symptoms, no noises. Just parked and next morning. DOA. any thoughts?

[@motorcarnut]

Wow, that is weird. If you have no compression in 4 cylinders that could only mean it jumped timing to me, definitely something mechanical.

[@marklambert1371]

[@motorcarnut]

You have to follow the repair procedure for timing belt installation, but should also make sure the valves didn't get damaged before installing the belt.

[@kyleheaton5367]

I got my timing chain fixed , but its still rattling really loud on start up. But after its reaching full operating temperature it runs withoutnnoise or other issues. My car was still behaving odd and jerking but after i changed the spark plugs and coils it was alot better . Still does a chain "slap" at the time of start up though. Wondering how am i supposed to fix that....its a 2011 vw tiguan 4 motion 2.0T SEL

[@motorcarnut]

Did they replace the timing chain tensioner? Uselly these engines don't have a start up rattle unless chain is stretched or the tensioner is going bad. These engines have a bad older design tensioner that must be replaced to updated version. I have many videos on this issue .

[@kyleheaton5367]

@motorcarnut I'm not sure, but I did have to buy the part myself before he did the job so I'm going to attach the photo and/or link go the exact part I bought , so that should help find that out. Another mechanic asked me if he only changed the chain and that could be an issue because there's a "malfunction on startup" showing. I also had the camshaft position sensor changed a few months before the chain got fixed , however the code for that came up again (p0341) it think it was , so they said they just cleared the codes and that helped with it constantly saying "service engine now!" Everytime the RPMS were too low while driving. However the check engine light came back on and they said it's because the vvt solenoid is soaked in coolant since I previously had a coolant leak and because of the "malfunction at start up".

[@motorcarnut]

Yes do that so I can take a look. Also I have many videos on these engines with valve train code like the cam bridge and oil control valve you might want the mechanic to look at or you too to help be informed.

[@theemikecee]

I have. 2005 tacoma 6 cyl. My mechanic is fixing the blow head gasket. I called him for a status and he said the timing chain jumped and he has to open it back up. The heads were machined so maybe he didnt put enuff tension on the chain. Is this something to be concerned about? Thank you.

Because 65 is low right ? Shouldn't have misfire on all the cylinders? I'm looking at the timing mark I can see 1 tooth off on the vvt exchuast sprocket.

[@motorcarnut]

That’s your problem, I one tooth off. Because if the valve timing is incorrect combustion can’t take place correctly and fuel and spark will be off because computer is assuming timing is correct when it’s not.

[@motorcarnut]

That’s a dead miss. Just to rule out a sticking valve I would compression test that cylinder to make sure it has at least 120psi cold. Also can be fuel related on that cylinder as well. If you have spark compression and fuel it should not miss fire. A vacuum leak on that cylinder can cause that too

[@Crayon3aterGaming]

I know this exact engine. I’m trying to figure out my situation as we speak. My chain slipped or jumped. I replaced the head gasket and checked the valves which are all in tact but I still have no compression. I’ll probably have to redo the timing procedure itself. It could just be a simple error on my behalf.

Well I took it all apart and got the timing right but now the vehicle will not start. I'm wondering if one of my valves is stuck open or I messed something up. Any ideas?

You have to gain access to the chain depending on vehicle the easiest way is to remove the valve cover. If it’s broken you’ll see it right away. Again, depending on vehicle it’s a big job but prices vary greatly so I can’t just give a dollar amount and be accurate.

I just heard them, so from the speed of the noise i'm pretty sure it's a rod knock.

[@gotsu21]

@@motorcarnut is that mean timing chain system would not fix the problem?

[@motorcarnut]

@gotsu21 correct.

@@motorcarnut Hello, could you check #2 and #3 under "Videos"(longer than 1 min)? 2. Cold Start - Idle - Drive - Rev - Idle 3. Warmed Idle - Rev (The idling sounds like diesel engine while no noise at revving?)

My timing chain was fixed with new starter but still won’t stay started

[@motorcarnut]

I don’t understand what you mean?

[@BigpapaPapa-ud6qm]

I tried to replace my water pump and I couldn't get the timing chain off of it

[@motorcarnut]

Don’t know what vehicle you are referring too?

@BigpapaPapa-ud6qm The one in the video is not a Nissan and I wouldn’t know why you can’t get the water pump out?? I don’t know what you did or didn’t do?

I actually think the belt is better. The chain seems like it's planned obsolescence.

No belt is rubber chain is steel, no comparison
