Troubleshooting

Excessive belt noise (whining or squealing)

This could indicate improper tension. Ensure the belt is tensioned according to the vehicle service manual specifications. Also, check that all pulleys are clean and free of debris.

Engine misfires or rough running after installation

Verify that the timing marks on the crankshaft and camshaft sprockets are correctly aligned. A single tooth misalignment can cause these symptoms. Double-check the installation procedure in the service manual.
