this code means the timing belt has skipped one tooth or more: how do i set my timing or do i need to take belt off and move belt 1 tooth forward-or -backward?

 

what you need to do, isgo and get a new timing belt, and put the hole motor back in time.. Retime the motor. If the belt skipped a tooth, that more than likely means it's worn out.

 

i just had a new timing belt put on.

 

i bought the car recently and just put a new motor in with a new clutch new timing belt when i picked up the car the engine light was on i pluged in my obd2 reader and got 3 codes i got ride of 2 now remains p1390 timing off this tells me that the person that put the belt on the car put it on one tooth off, is this the correct thinking or what. thanks for info

 

Well it was not done right, bring it back. Or pull the cover off and check to see how much it is off and fix it.

 

Can someone explain to me how to align a timing belt?


I had a new motor installed and now im getting this message.

 

take a look at the cam gears and there should be notches on the showing how then should be aligned. But if it is off i would bring it back because this might not be something you want to mess with.
