Supra Down

Noisyferret · 06-24-2009, 07:41 PM

(edit)Oh.. I didn't read that you said the belt was toast. The belt is still holding tension, and SEEMS to be all intact from any angle we could look at it at 3am with a cell phone.(edit)

Would the timing being off keep it from turning at all? And how would it even happen..? Coasted to a light, came to a complete stop, and just off it went. Supposedly it's easier to jump timing at idle? I planned on replacing the belt since it needs it, but I haven't even had the car 2 weeks yet(needed a pay day). I get paid tonight/tomorrow, so I guess now is an okay time. Any thoughts on the crank key/pulley or something? Getting the car towed home tonight, and will hopefully have my answer of what exactly is wrong then. Hoping I can just re-time it/replace the belt and be good to go. Car is in real nice shape, and I got it for a good deal, so it's worth fixing for me.
