Info Request

Hello,

 

You have many options with today's internet so Thank you for choosing JustAnswer.com.

 

Can you give me a little history on the car? How many miles do you have on the LS and has the timing belt ever been replaced? Have you done any tune up work recently?

Answer

There are allot of basics you need to check given the history. Timing belt timing (jumped) time. Basic tune up especially the fuel filter if the car has been setting make sure the fuel is not contaminated. Check for engine codes.

 

Let me know.

Let me know if there are any engine codes it is not likely the belt in 30k + miles provided nothing else in ther failed like a bearing.
