Hello its a Toyota Starlet 1985, 1.0L, 12V, 1E engine. I was trying to change the timing belt, however, I could not find the timing mark on crankshaft pulley, so I took the risk and pulled the belt off and installed the new one. Now the car won't start. I cranked it 3 times, but nothing. It did not sound like something is broken, pulley somehow turned and maybe timing belt is off by a few sprockets.
I opened up everything to look, but again could not find timing mark on the lower pulley. I can see the marks on upper pulley and also the mark on engine near crankshaft pulley, but no mark on crankshaft pulley itself. On the outer crankshaft pulley i.e. the one that turns alternator belt, there are many marks, from 0 to 10. Can those marks be used somehow? Under the hood it says Ignition timing 5 degrees with vacuum off, if I fit that pulley back how would I know which mark is TDC? Is it the same as ignition timing value i.e. 5 degree? or is TDC at 10 degrees (The highest mark)?
I was doing this in a rented garage and had to leave it in there, now I have two hours in morning to do this.
There is no repair manual available for this car. Please suggest how to fix this.
Thank you for your answers.1985 Toyota Starlet; Timing belt replacment GONE WRONG... Help!!!!?You need to find the mark, car wont start or will run like crap if timing is off . Pull spark plug one , put the dipstick in the hole turn the engine until it comes up all the way that's your TDC . If you remove the crank pulley you will see your mark on the timing belt gear . If it says 5 deg that's where it should be . After finding TDC line up you cam and put on your timing Belt. Done!

How do I change the power steering belt on a 1985 Oldsmobile 98 3.8L V6?
I have a 1985 Oldsmobile 98 3.8L V6 and the belt that seems to run the power steering and the water pump is very loose and worn out. It is inside the belt that runs the Alternator etc. I know with the alternator loosening the one bolt allows it to move down to remove the belt and up to tighten it back up so I can do that to get to the power steering belt but how do you take the power steering belt on and off? What keeps and releases the tension so I can change it out? Thanks in advance for any answers. I will choose however gives me the best answer.How do I change the power steering belt on a 1985 Oldsmobile 98 3.8L V6?This should be the setup you have, if it uses V-belts, as opposed to a Serpentine multi-groove belt.

Loosen the 3 bolts/nuts that have asterisks next to them. Note that one nut is in the back. When you tighten belt, be careful prying against the pump, as the reservoir case bends easily, and you could make it leak. Best to pry against the top/front area. Also, there are 2 bolts to loosen on the Alternator. One that goes through the slot, and another that serves as a pivot point. Easier to move if you loosen both. If it already was loose enough that you didn't have to loosen the pivot bolt, make sure you tighten it when you're done.How do I change the power steering belt on a 1985 Oldsmobile 98 3.8L V6?i had a pontiac 6000 I think is similiar...there should be a tensioner...a kind of do nothing pulley that the belt runs through...normaly there is a nut/bolt that secures it in place or it is a constant tension type. there is alwys a spot to adjut it.sometimes it is a 3/8 drive socket(square you turn it in desired direction to temporarily release the tension,while knocking the belt off...

How do I change the belts on a 2001 Mazda Protege DX 1.6L?
Both belts need to be changed. I know how to take the tension off the one that goes on the alternator. How do I get the other one off? (the one that goes on the a/c)How do I change the belts on a 2001 Mazda Protege DX 1.6L?the alternator has a bolt under it you have to raise your car with a jack and release that bolt in order to release alternator so the belt will be free to take it out
the ac/ ps belt go to power steering after you release the adjuster, there is one bolt crossing the pulley you have to use 14mm socket and pass by the pulley to reach the bolt then the power steering pump is loose and now you can take out all beltsHow do I change the belts on a 2001 Mazda Protege DX 1.6L?look for a tension release bolt

How do i change the alternator on a 1995 toyota corolla?
if someone can please give me the step by step explanation on how to replace an alternator on a 1995 corolla im pretty sure its as simple as removing two bolts unplugging the wire that goes to it and then sliding it off and putting the new one on i know im supposed to disconnect the battery but is there a way to loosen the belt first or does the alternator come off first i would like to do this myself rather then have to ask my dad please help the alternator on this particular model is right in the front very easy to get to right behind the radiator i am sure it is the alternator because i can jump the car and then disconnect the battery and it dies instantlyHow do i change the alternator on a 1995 toyota corolla?I can't give you specifics on changing that alternator, but, I don't think it will be too difficult. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES should you EVER disconnect the battery on a running engine. The alternator puts out 17 or so volts and if it's working it will fry your ignition system. Way back before electronic ignitions you could do this to check an alternator, but NOT now.
