Default I have 120,000 miles on my car i purchased it with 112,000 miles on it, i did a carfax..............

on it and there were about 20 entries but no sure sign of a timing belt change, i have not changed it yet is it possible that it hasent been changed or by how many miles are on it has it deffinately been changed? by reading other threads it looks like around 60k is when its supposed to be changed.


sorry for the choppy sentences

TIA

Default i have another question...currently i have no boost at all..................

i do have a blow off valve on it (yea im a dumbarse) it used to work fine, but now nothin at all. right now i am waiting for the shipment of a manifold to cat gasket so there is a pretty big exhaust leak does anyone think that that could be the reason? i dont hear any kind of air sucking in the vac lines or any kind of weird noises......please let me know what you guys think or if theres anyone in northern vt or upstate ny that could help me out im desperate thanks guys

Default If you know what dealer the previous owner might have used

you could call them with the VIN and see if they have service records.

Default First thing is get a DV to replace your BOV. I would check all the vac lines in the engine as many

are tucked away that you can not see and could be broken.
