2005 4Runner Timing Belt Replacement (3 Viewers)

[rockcrawler21]

Hello,

I had the timing belt done on my 4Runner and the mechanic sent me a message that it has a CEL on and is throwing the P0011 Code. He provided videos of the timing belt and everything appears to be timed up well and that the belt is tight. See below.

Here is the left Cam

Right Cam

Top of the Crank

Bottom of Crank

Is there anything in these pictures that looks suspect? It all looked good to me, however seems like the P0011 code could be related? He also did an oil change with high mileage full synthetic. Could it be the camshaft position sensor? Any knowledge from the experts would be appreciated.

Thanks

the timing mark isn't that "T"
the marks on the crank aren't lined up.
the crank is set at tdc but the cams aren't. they're set forward like that lower article shows.

Yeah was gonna say re-time it. Try a different mechanic who knows how to do more than an oil change.

Yeah timing. I just did mine on a 2005 4runner and fyi you can use the "T" marks for replacement.

But for checking timing you use the lines as shown above

So the marks show above when he replaced it are correct?

Seems like the consensus is to pull off the timing covers and see where they line up at. The bottom end is at TDC when the mark is at 0 degrees, right?

Honestly it looks like gnob is right and the Aisin kit that was used called out the “I” as the timing mark and not the “T” as shown in my other pictures. Did your kit call out the T instead?

Assuming the timing is off would there be an obvious issue with how it runs if it’s only off by that much? Also if both cams are off wouldn’t I expect another code like for the other bank?

Thanks

I've seen lots of conflicting info based on years but I followed this on my 05.

Timing Belt Kit The following thread will explain how we set up the Toyota 2UZ-FE Timing Belt marks when replacing the timing belt. The first tip is that we set the timing marks in place with the engine past/after TDC and not on TDC. This is because this engine is an interference engine and it...

There's a difference in the terminology. To check timing at TDC use the notch on the crank pulley to 0 and the marks shown above by gnob. Start there and let us know what you find.

That’s it, is off at the crank. The dot should be on the mark and the two close marks should enclose the bolt hole when installing. He had the crank at TDC with the cams advanced to the timing marks.

Appreciate it. Looks like that is the culprit.

Thanks for the help everyone. I will get that fixed and report back.
