It's certainly possible but I don't think it would run at all if the cam timing was off. He can keep it running if he keeps the throttle open.Daninski wrote:Timing belt jumped. If it starts let it idle and check the timing mark with a timing light

Re: angle/engine issues
I'm looking at a picture of MX3autozam's IM in the "Let's see your engine bays" thread and it has an elbow with a rubber cap on that hole. I'm guessing you had one too and it popped out.
For the record...I was the one that said intake air issue.
FTW!!!

Re: angle/engine issues
The timing belt being off is not as huge a risk as you may think spatial terror, the engine is non interference so even if the belt snaps it still won't hurt the engine. I replaced 1 about 6 months ago on a buddies mx-3 that broke when he was doing 100 km/h down the road when it broke. Engine fired back up no problem once I replaced the belt.

Re: angle/engine issues
all i wanted to say right when he said theres a hole sucking air in on the mainfold is vacume leak. haha thats great it was that easy of a fix though.
and about the non interferance thing.
i was told that means that if your timing is off even one tooth you can screw the motor.
but thats pretty cool. makes me alot happier bout my mx
