Hi everyone!
I just got the cams seals, alternator belt, fan belt, and timing belt replaced on my '87 2.8L Cressida. It was driving fine for a day. This morning I started it up and it was running fine for about 10 seconds....then it made some weird sounds and just stopped. Now I can't start. I pop open the hood and I notice the Fan belt is on backwards and the timing cover housing is broken and I can see the timing belt!! I did diagnostic code testing and got this signal:
Flash....1.5 second......Flash.........(then it starts the sequence again)
so there's 1 flash, then 1.5 second gap, then 1 flash. Does that mean it's a code number 11?
I've been unable to find a list of codes and their meaning on the internet. I'm not mechanical, but I just want to be informed before I take it back to these mechanics and tell them: hey you #*(@*# up my car.
I'm pretty sure it's the timing belt, but it could just be a coicidence that the cover is broken really bad and the fan belt is on backwards (just signs of incompetence).
I hate wasting money. Anyway, I love my car otherwise.
