I've had a recent issue with rough idling and low end hesitation. I am beginning to lean towards timing belt, but will have a mechanic look at it and let me know for sure. If it comes to the belt, I will most likely have to do it myself to save money ($25.00 for belt but tons on labor to a shop....so much I wouldnt even guess). Can someone chime in with an idea of the degree of difficulty of this adventure and approx amount of time I'm looking at. From the FSM and repair manuals, it doesnt look too bad, but looks are always deceiving. Also, any tips I should know about to aid in my adventure? It all looks pretty straight forward. Pull, rt wheel and well cover, find TDC, remove belts and tensioners, remove cover, remove camshaft pulley, remove belt tensioner and belt, then install in reverse making sure all marks line up along the way....then time it, and drive it.
