Hello,

This guide shows you the camshaft timing marks toward the bottom of the page.

Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

Hi sawdustannie,

If the timing had not been replaced yet, now is the time to do it.

Waiting in this case is a dangerous game.

With 20k over due, I would definitely try to have it replaced sooner rather than later. The $1,000 estimate is WAY over...it only take about 3 hours on this vehicle to replace the timing belt. An estimate is below of what it should cost you..

All Hyundai engines, L4 and V-6 are interference engines so yes it is very possible to have valve and piston damage if timing belt breaks during operation.

If you are refering to the harmonic balancer, you need a puller for it. Most parts stores will rent what you need.

Engine running rough or misfiring can be cause by the following-inspect and test all the following below:
1. Defective spark plug.
2. Inadequate spark/coil, defective spark plug wire.
3. Lack of compression
4. False air leakage.
5. Faulty fuel injectors.
6. Insufficient fuel pressure.
7. Contaminated fuel.
8. EGR valve that is leaking.
9. Oxygen sensors.
10. Throttle position sensor.

Hi there,
Did this belt break? Have you had the head off?

Crank timing setting are done by computer if off just put it close to tdc on #1 then a pro has to use his scanner to put it in sync with crank sensor.
