  1. Ok so if I'm reading that correctly, I need to take the crank pulley off and verify that when the piston location mark on the crankshaft sprocket is pointing to the right, the marks on the cam sprockets are at the top? So I'm getting kind of mixed info here lol.....
  2. So I pulled the #1 spark plug and rotated the engine with a wrench until it was at TDC. All the marks on the three pulleys are equal to each other, but they seem to be off to me. Like, if you're looking at the little degree gauge on the main pulley (where it has the timing marks), I would say the notch on that pulley is at around 55 degrees (to the left of center)....is that right? And I didn't replace the belt, the PO did, and gave a receipt. Edit: Sorry, I totally misjudged how old the belt is...it's got about 6000 miles on it (that is, if the PO was honest in that he replaced it right before he sold it to me). It looks new and is in good shape at least.
  3. So I was driving down the road the other day and came up to a stop light. As I slowed down the car died on me. It wouldn't start back up and I had to tow it home. I pulled the codes: Abnormal voltage to TPS, Inoperative O2 sensor, and solenoid valve inoperative. I adjusted the TPS, cleaned out the o2 sensor (not sure if it worked or not), and read that the solenoid valve wouldn't keep it from starting (is this true?) Also checked for fuel pressure and spark. Replaced the fuel filter and coil. I had replaced the spark plugs about 3,000 miles ago. All it does is crank and crank and occasionally I get a little detonation, but it doesn't start. The timing belt is brand new (ish) and I've driven about 2,000 miles on it. Any ideas as to what's wrong? I'm at a loss and reaaaallly need my car to get to work lol. Thanks in advance! Scott PS. It's a 1991 Legacy with the 2.2.
