i replaced the water pump and redid the timing belt. now when i start it, it sounds like one of the cylinder is misfiring and makes a chucking noise. do you have to reconnect everything together to see if thats the problem? the engine worked fine before i replaced my water pump. engine like vibrates at each chucking noise. could it be incorrect timing even when the engine starts fine? or is one of the valves bent which is causing the vibration and noise? i checked teh spark plugs and they are fine could if be bad coils? or is the crankshaft weared out? please help and thanks for you help about my situation.
sounds like you didn't get your timing belt back on correctly...they can be a bear sometimes...go back and redo the timing belt and make sure the timing marks are lined up properly
timing is off. did u line the makesbefore taking the belt off ,and did i spin the motor two full turn to see if the timing makes line up
Call or go up to your local Mitsubishi dealer, the techs should be able to show you a diagram or tell you where the marks are.
sounds like the timing is off a little, yes, even with the timing set incorrestly, it can still start and run. I doubt your vehicle has coils and there is no such thing as weared.
It should have nothing to do with the water pump. When you replaced the timing belt, you probably re-installed it a few notches/teeth off and the timing is off, and that's why you are getting the misfires. If the timing was WAY off when you re-installed it, there is a slim chance you could have bent some valves, but that's a long shot. You probably just have to re-adjust the timing belt and things will be fine.
