Recently about 15k into the last timing belt I pulled up to a gas station, fueled up and went to start the car.
No start condition with slight firing.
Towed the car home and after checking several things I locked the camshaft and lined up the crank with its marker and low and behold the pump, not the crank had jumped a tooth.
That is the cam was still timed to the crank, but the pump was one tooth back.
How in the world could this happen?
The tensioner and belt still looked good, but I changed them anyways, and have seen another 1k miles without problems.
