I waited for the weather to get warmer and continued working on the Tracker.
I went out and tried to start it again, it started and seemed to run fine, however I still wanted to check the timing belt and replace the drive belts while I was working on the car.
Once I got the timing belt cover off there was a slight tear in the belt, but the cam and crank were aligned when #4 was TDC. I replaced the timing belt (Gates brand) and tensioner following the guide at www.fixkick.com (http://www.fixkick.com/t-belt/tbelt-index.html) and reassembled the car. I was going to replace the distributor cap and rotor, but the parts place gave me the wrong parts.
The car started. I let it warm up, but was not able to set the timing following the guide at www.fixkick.com (http://www.fixkick.com/IGN_timing/index.html). Any ideas?
