  1. I think that's it! Thanks. I used the arrow on the middle sprocket, I will fix it tomorrow and let you know if that works
  2. The bearings in the idler pulley were toast, I switched out the water pump, pulleys and tensions for new and it still wouldn't fire up
  3. I want to give an update, when I pulled the covers, I didn't see anything wrong with the sprockets or belt but the timing marks were off. when looking at it from the front the one on my right had the mark dead center top and the mark on the one to my left was probably 45 degrees off from that. So I ordered the new belt and took off the rest of the belts etc and the center cover. The belt doesn't look worn or broken and I don't see any missing teeth. But since I ordered the belt, took everything off and the timing is off I'm going to replace the belt and water pump and make sure the timing is set right.
  4. I have no idea when the timing belt was last done,I bought it six years ago with 1740000 miles on it and in the service notes I got it doesn't mention the timing belt. Is there a way to check the belt without pulling off the belts radiator covers and the timing covers etc? Basically it there an easy way to see it?
  5. I have a 1992 legacy I use almost exclusively to drive to and from the train ~2miles each way. On Friday it died on my way to the train. I towed it home, It turns over but does not fire up, i tried starter fluid and it wouldn't fire up. Today I discovered that my check engine light doesn't work so I have not been able to pull the codes. I am getting sparks at each plug and checked the coil the resistance is the same as a new one which I decided not buy. It sounds like I'm getting some compression on each cylinder so I don't think it is the timing chain. The gas pump works, I'm not sure what I should do next. I am going to pull the dash and see if a can fix the check engine light but saw this and thought the problem sounded similar
