I have recently changed the timing belt on my Ranger. The camshaft gear had a diamond and a triangle that lined up, the gear (I believe is an emissions pump) had a triangle that lined up, But the crankshaft gear only had a dot on it and no dots to line up. So I found top-dead-center on a compression stroke and the dot on the crankshaft lined up with a notch. I assume this is correct timing. After puting everything back on the truck started right up. But, it had a very high idle, I drove it down the road and back and put a timing light on it, the timing then kicked down to a low idle but was not the correct idle. The timing light showed the mark on the Harmonic balancer bounce from 30 deg. And up. The truck is supposed to be timed at 10 deg. What could be causing this problem? How can I fix it if the truck doenst have adjustable timing? Thank You

It sounds like the computer needs to relearn just drive it for a few days see what happens.

The timing belt on my truck and was repaired the mechanic is telling me that after I drive it approx 150 to 200 miles that I need to bring it back for adjustments. I have had the timiing belt serviced before and have never had this request. Just curious if this is a valid service.

No this is not required, I have never seen a timing belt that requires re tensioning after installation.

Almost motors with timing belts have automatic tensioners. The few that dont would need to be rechecked for proper tension after short 'break in' period. This can be as simple as removing upper plastic cover and checking for tension by feel/sight.

On this truck there is a diamond and a triangle stamped into both gears be sure to clean them off and make sure you are using the triangle for the cam and the diamond on the oil pump. Otherwise you have no compression.

Was it stalling prior to timing belt replacement? Since engine light is coming on, have the codes scanned to help pinpoint the culprit. Most local auto part stores will do this for free.

Engine bucking is usually caused by misfires. Check the spark plugs to ensure they are getting healthy blue/white spark. If they are, test the fuel pressure to ensure it is up to specs.
