There was no reason for your comment. What a juvenile move, to judge and make assumptions about someone without even knowing them. You sir/lady are exactly what's wrong with this world.
And yes , how wonderful it is that there's still decent people out there who would help someone in need without being an egotistical *******.
good day sir/lady
in this day and age? an 11 year old child has to beg to get on a computer? well done. my 6 year old can manage paragraphs.
pro tip - don't try and protect them too much, the world is a "mean" place, and it's worse than "people like me" infact, maybe you could even learn something here.

juvenile? judgemental? oh lol. honey, stick around, i'm going to get lulz out of you. the riony is strong with this one.

and i've not been knighted, as such not a sir, and certainly no lady.

i'll help those who help themselves. contrary to hunter's ***-ertion, i haven't racked up 1000 posts solely by abusing people.

seriously, how hard is it to hit enter a couple of times?

Or what?
Well it depends on where the cylinder is leaking. You would have to do a leak down test on that cylinder to find out. Could be at intake/exhaust valve or cylinder rings or head gasket. But first compression check.

Ps: Feels like I'm the only one actually trying to help instead of whipping my e-peen out on whose the biggest c**t. I'm so sorry to see you deal with people who are completely incapable of being nice.

Actually you can be off by a single tooth. The engine will run almost normal at mid and high RPM, but will stumble at idle and you'll get a Random Multiple Cylinder Misfire code. If you are off by two teeth, you'll notice lack of power and again multiple cylinder misfire. At three teeth off you are going to be beating cylinder against the valves and destroying your engine.
Since you are getting only a single cylinder misfire, it is not likely to be a timing belt issue. I'm still at a loss what can be causing this. Any luck pulling the freeze frame data when you check the codes?

do you know that for a fact with these specific engines?

typically cam teeth are ~10 degrees. and being 10 degrees out on your valve timing WILL f*ck engines.

Yes I do know that for fact. Unlike you I don't pull my answers out thin air.

It isn't hard to get off by a tooth. When I first applied my timing belt I managed to be off by one tooth. Fortunately, I was able to catch this when I turn the motor by hand (ratchet) and things didn't line up as they did when I started.

It would probably be most helpful to know what codes are appearing, if any. If you don't have a code reader, I really like
this this
bluetooth code reader from amazon. It is inexpensive ($25) and works with my android smartphone. Only warning is it does not work with iOS/iPhones.

Nobody is "recommending" to run the engine with a tooth off on a timing belt. I said if you are off by a tooth - the engine will run, but not well. That is a long way from setting your timing belt off by a tooth on purpose.
The point was that the single cylinder misfire will not be caused by a timing belt issue. It is something else that causes it.
