Does the timing belt on the 7afe have any slack on either side?
I checked it by removing the cover when i got my celi. The belt didn't look too bad but i don't remember it having any slack in it. I think one of the gears may have jumped place cause i started it up and was backing up and it just shut off. I checked the plugs to insure they were firing and tried some starting fluid. All it would do is turn over and not start so i pulled the cover to see if the belt broke it is still intact but has about an inch or more of slack in it. So is it supposed to have the slack in it? Was just wondering before i rip it apart. -------------------- 94 st

The belt should only have about 1/4" to 1/2" of play in it. Your starting issue may be a result of the belt jumping a tooth or two because of the loose issue or the belt has stretched out over time and simply needs to be tightened back up. Check to see that the timing is correct by lining up the crank pulley at TDC (the mark on the balancer should be right on zero) and the cam pulley mark is at the 12 o' clock position. Look through the small inspection hole on the cam pulley spoke and you should see an indentation on the 1st exhaust cam bearing cap through the hole. The proper cam bearing mark is the one thats most towards the front of the vehicle (if there are two marks on the cap)
