IS THE BELT STILL ON THE CAR? NOT SOUND DUMB, BUT WAS THE CAR RUNNING ROUGH? IF IT WASN'T, MOST LIKELY THE TIMING IS OK. BUT WHAT YOU CAN DO IF THE BELT IS STILL ON THE CAR REMOVE NUMBER 1 SPARK PLUG, INSTALL PAPER TOWEL, ROTATE ENGINE UNTIL IT POPS OUT THEN YOU KNOW THAT'S TOP DEAD CENTER, THEN PUT A LONG SCREW DRIVER IN THE SPARK PLUG HOLE. ROTATE THE ENGINE AND WATCH THE SCREW DRIVER, IF IT GOES DOWN STOP, GO THE NEXT WAY UNTIL IT STAYS AT THE TOP. BASICALLY YOU CAN TURN THE CRANK CLOCKWISE OR COUNTER CLOCKWISE, WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR IS WHEN THE PISTON IS AT IT'S FULL LENGTH OF TRAVEL SO IF IT'S GOING DOWN YOU KNOW TO STOP. THAT SHOULD BE WHERE YOU TIMING MARKS ARE AND YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO REPLACE YOU BELT.[image]http://www.hyundaiforum.com/micons/m11.gif[/image]

yeah the belt is still on the car , was starting but running really rough and would only stay on when accelating, pretty sure its the timing belt because when the two white marks are at the top the exhaust one appears to be out a notch

Is your Elantra a 1.6 or a 1.8 liter DOHC? There is this awesome website, provided by Hyundai here http://www.hmaservice.com/. All you have to do is register with a screename and you will get a temporary password in your email. This will give you awesome info on Diagnosing, Specs, Diagrams, etc....... Just pick out your vehicle along with the liter of engine and there should be alot of answers to your questions there. I go to this site everyday. Good luck and let me know what liter your engine is.
