Ekundayo, the removoal and re-installation is similar to any other timing belt job, with one exception. There is a special cam holding kit needed to hold everything in place, it’s a SPX Kent Moore J-42069. The kit is priced around 6 or 7 hundred dollars
. The good news is there is a comparable kit made by Sealey, it’s a VSE130 DLT priced at a fraction of the cost. For detailed instructions, see the Mitchell link at the bottom of the product listing. Click Here to the tool listing.

Hello Dennis,
I have a 2001 Grand Cherokee and every time I put the A/C on the compressor starts turning for about 5 sec then it stops for approx 15 and starts again for 5 sec and stops again ect… What do you think could be the problem. I’v been asking on the internet but they give me the runaround.
Thanks in advance.

Pat, The most likely cause of excessive cycling as you described, on any vehicle would be LOW refrigerant. The low pressure switch/cycling switch is turning the compressor off to protect it from running without lubrication. Refrigerant oil circulates with the Freon throughout the system. There can be other causes, however low 134A is the most likely cause. We have articles on how to find leaks and on AC readings explained that may also help you figure out what the problem is.

Just got a tune up, timing belt (all belts) water pump, valve cover gaskets, pulleys, tensioner. When i picked it up the car started shaking the engine lite came on and it sounds like knocking sound coming out of the engine like valve slapping. The guys says it’s a cylinder 1 misfire. Never had a problem with misfires till i picked it up yeserday. Any ideas? Sensor (cam sensor)? I feels like I dropped a cylinder. I need help!!
Thanks
Tony
