What can go wrong with replacement of timing belt?

Hello, got timing belt replaced at the shop on Corolla94. Now driving car
feels different. Acceleration increased, steering is heavier, for example.
Are there any adjustment that con be mistakenly affected during timing belt
change. Thanks.

Hi, just figured out the tension may be wrong.

Does anyone know what is the required tention for Corolla 94 and Corolla 05?

What are the simptoms if tention is wrong?

Thanks

The timing belt will not affect acceleration unless the previous one was
installed incorrectly.

If timing belt tension is too loose, the water pump may slip and if it is
too tight, the water pump may fail prematurely.

The power steering drive belt was probably removed when the timing belt was
replaced. If it was replaced too loosely, you will hear the belt squeal but
it shouldn't have much, if any affect on steering effort. Check to make
sure the belt was replaced and that the power steering fluid is filled.

Thanks, I did not know acceleration can be advanced or retarded. The
mechanic, I think, said it is all electronic now and cannot be adjusted,
meaning - either it work properly, or not at all. Or was he talking about
idling speed.

Acceleration cannot be advanced or retarded. I believe Wolfgang was
referring to ignition base timing or cam timing, which can be advanced or
retarded. When people refer to advanced or retarded timing, they are
usually refering to ignition timing.
