Replace the timing belt. If it breaks it could cause major damage. You should not be able to move the belt, if you can it is slipping

Replace the belt and the tensioner. Check the idler for a bad bearing or wabble.

I would guess that your timing belt needs replacing. Its probably loose just enough to skip a few teeth every once in a while.

Most constituents retail outlets do the exams, on the grounds that they would love to turn out your constituents are dangerous, and promote you new ones. If you bounce automobile, disconnect different battery, and automobile keeps to run, the alternator is doing it is task - can quite often be removed from main issue. Battery is such a lot-most probably failure factor.

your sunbird has a belt.check the belt to see if any cogs are off of it and you might check the tensioner also.but it sounds like you need a new belt.
