Toyota Camry: Timing Belt - Pick up performance on 1994 Camry LE, 4cyl, 2.2L sedan

Pick up should be better with a new belt, What happens is old belts
stretch and retard timing -reducing power. If it has less power then he
screwed your timing. Id be pissed.

Inasmuch as the Democrats are complaining on how long the war is taking,
consider this:

It took less time to take Iraq than it took Janet Reno to take the
Branch Davidian compound. That was a 51-day operation.

It took less time to find Saddam's sons in Iraq than it took Hillary
Clinton to find the Rose Law Firm billing records.

It took less time for the 3rd Infantry Division and the Marines to
destroy the Medina Republican Guard than it took Teddy Kennedy to call
the police after his Oldsmobile sunk at Chappaquiddick.

It took less time to take Iraq than it took to count the votes in
Florida! TWICE!!!!!

Damn our military is GREAT!!

IN REAL LIFE.... cam belts stretch only 2-4 degrees. Here's how I've
come to the 2-4 degree figure. Car comes in for a cam belt. I've
checked the ignition timing on those with a distributor. Replace the
belt(s). The ignition timing change with the new belt installed
typically changes that little. Compare that to Morse HyVo chains in
overhead valve engines which I usually found the change to be about 9
degrees.

More likely his cam belt was installed one tooth off.

I,ve got an old 87 Camry. It was always a pig on pickup. I accepted it, as
everyone said that year was under powered. Years later the belt was
replaced...with no difference. Then about 40,000 miles later the belt broke
while driving and it needed to be towed to a shop. WOW! When I got the car back
it had plenty of power. I couldNt believe it! So, apparently the way the
mechanic sets it up makes a difference in power.

There are several explanations:

1). Your last cam belt was one tooth off. The engine is non
interference and will operate with incorrect cam timing.

2). The mechanic may have taken some liberty with the base ignition
timing.

3). The mechanic discovered other power robbing conditions or settings.

He adjusted the Timing I guess. He loosened and tightened a bolt near by
engine/Carburator..

He hasn't touched anything on the Timing belt, keep focusing Flshing light
and keep monitoring it before and after tightening the bolt.

Thanks,
