I have a 99 tracer.


Hard Starts in the Cold mornings. If I try to excel at Low RPM it will sputter. It started happening about a month and a half ago andit has gottenworse over the last week. I am leaning towards Timing belt replacement and or Cleaning, replacing most parts that I can. I am guessing, somehow, the Timing jumped. I was hoping it hada chain because those have guides that go out.:(


I don't understand how the Timing belts or Timing Jumps perse,can anyone explain?


Would this be a good place to start?

ITS SOUNDS LIKE THE CAR IS MIS FIRING PROBABLY BA D WIRES TRY SPRAYING WIRES WITH LIGHT MIST OF WATER AND SEE IF THEY SPARK IF SO REPLACE THEM ALSO YOU HAVE A TIMING BELT NOT A CHAIN AND THEY DONT JUMP THEY ONLY BREAK HOPE THIS HELPS LET ME KNOW

Thanks, will try it.

also try the disturbitorcap bad plugs and or wires. try cleaning out the ignition wire with some acetone could have settement deposits the is causing a bad connection.
