I will try to describe this the best that I can... I just bought the truck knowing it was running a little rough assuming it needed a tune up. Well as I looked closer I realized everything looked pretty damn new plugs, wires, cap, rotor, air filter, even the fuel filter looks new. The truck sputters a bit and then clears up in the higher rpms sort of like it is misfiring. The previous owner had the timing belt changed and thinks maybe the belt wasn't changed properly. How possible is it for the belt to be one tooth off? Is there any way to check to see if it is in fact off a tooth if so how? Before I tackled that project I would like to check the timing any tips/ how tos on doing that? What else could it be? I really do not want to mess with timing belts as I have never changed one before so I would like to try out all other possible scenarios before I go the timing belt route! I paid 450 for the truck it has 130k 1 owner I would like to keep it for awhile..... Here is a picture
