No it is not. (late answer) is this a double post?

all timing belts jump,
1: every 60k miles for most. ever read the service list.
some top quality belts go bad at 100k miles. so.....????

Honda uses an "interference" engine design.
do not skip this service, or the whole engine can grenade !!!
honda quote, pasted.
However, since these engines utilize an interference design, it is highly recommended to at least inspect the timing belt at 60,000 mile (96,000 km) intervals. It is an even better idea to replace the belt at these intervals. On 1990-94 models, Honda recommends the timing belt to be replaced at 90,000 mile (144,000 km) intervals. On 1995 models, the recommended interval is 60,000 miles (96,000 km).end quote.

and if the last guy put in a POS china belt, well, you are hosed.
no name belts are junk, never ever use one,
BTW i run Gates belts.

Zx2 ran fine for a bit after timing belt change, now no start.

suspect the timing belt tension was to low and has jumped a few teeth initially(run rough) and then jumped further or stripped teeth(will not start at all).
check timing belt position setup....
if its 1-2 teeth out of timing you could put a new belt on with engine correctly setup.
.if its completely wrong the your engine will have internal damage(valves bent and pistons dented)

What makes a isuzu rodeo jump time after new tensioner and timing belt replacement please help

Wrong belt. Check with parts store make sure you got the right belt. If that's not the case then one of your pulleys are worn out and causing it to jump time

The timing belt keeps jumping and bending the vaules

If your timing belt keeps skipping teeth then you may need a new belt, a new automatic tensioner, or need to align the pulleys correctly before putting the belt on.

What happened prior to this problem starting?

Rough idle,no power

There is a lot of things this could be from poor fuel pressure to the timing belt being off a notch,have the timing belt checked quickly,if it has jumped,it needs to be changed,for if it breaks,or jumps time anymore it will bend the engine valves in the head,costly too,have the fuel pressure checked,and all the boots,coils,and spark plugs.

My 92 ranger wont start it turns over easy and the timing belt isnt broken it has spark and gas,new fuel filter. fuel pump is runnig. could the timing belt have stretched and jumped time?

It could have stripped out the cogs on the belt,and is just setting in one spot,or the belt has jumped .Just replace the timing belt,if this is the case,no harm done on this engine,just the timing belt.

I have a 2002 hyundai sonata 4 cylender, it stopped running on me. It was towed to a shop(not Hyundai) I've purchase a fuel pump(they discovered that it wasn't the fuel pump) I've purchased spark plugs...

if jump time that should be it timing marks and the tensioner are to lined up an also install new tensioner and recommend water pump if driven by the timing belt. if it has bent valves cause you jump time usually the car won't trun over at all.

Jump timing want start Mechanic just put new timing belt on

If the timing did jump and assuming no damage to the engine you'll need to get in to the engine and replace the timing belt and tensioner. This can be done on your own if your up to it. With the right tools it will take 5-6 hours. In the meantime do not attempt to start or run the engine.
I hope this may have helped,
Tom

Timing belt jumped... why?

This can be caused by not tensioning the belt corectly.When fitting a new belt you should allways replace the tensioner,and make sure the water pump pulley is in good working order.Its always wise to get your timming belt from the dealer.as others are nown to be faulty.Fit new belt follow manuel when doing so.good luck
