So last Friday the car sputtered out and died on me. Come to find out, the timing belt was missing a bunch of teeth in one area. So I had the timing belt replaced, along with the water pump. Now I notice when I start it cold and it idles high to warm up, it sounds like I have subwoofers under the hood. Soon as you put it in gear, the rpms drop and it goes away. Then when your driving it isn't that bad, except when you let off the gas, it sounds like the bass hits again. Cruising around with a little throttle the engine sounds great.
I've been searching forums and videos on youtube about the front balance shaft being off since it's geared 3:1 and a common problem but wouldn't that make the engine vibrate rough constantly? And out of all the videos I've seen so far, the engine rattles like a diesel. The galant is completely stock except those silicon radiator hoses, that add 50 horsepower. j/k I'm loading a video of the cold start this morning...
Thanks for any help
