auto show Saturday mornings.
what are your miles?
V6, here's the list of my guesses:
1. Frozen idler pulley on the timing belt, allowed timing belt to jump its track, or do whatever it does when it goes bad. Still runs b/c it's only off kilter (is that the right word? I mean, the timing is off) a bit, but no rpm's and fun noise b/c your valves are happily slapping into your pistons. or should I say, pi$ton$. Looking at a total top end rebuild.
What is the history of replacing the timing belt tensioner assembly, 35k, 65k, 95k and the "new" assembly? This is THE major problem that goes wrong with the V6.
2. See number 1, above.
Good luck.
'95 900 SEv6
107,500 miles, fingers crossed.
