2005 rsx timing belt or chain? - 2005 Acura RSX

run fault codes and check for cam/crank position sensor faults . Check that the cam shaft is turning ( broken timing belt/chain) check that the immobiliser is operational.

For the Acura RSX 2.0 engine to replace valves you need to remove cylinder head.if you talking about timing chain you have to support engine to remove timing cover to replace timing chain and tensioner.

no, a timing chain and a serpentine belt

The TSX, RSX, RDX, models have chains. MDX 3.7L, RL 3.5L, TL 3.2L, TL 3.5L, ALL have belts. You did not specify your model #. Hope this helps.

There is no timing belt on the K20. It's a Chain.
the Belt you see is only the Serpentine Belt. It's attached to a Crank pully so it'll turn the pullies on the AC and Power Stering Pumps, and also the Alternator. This is NOT the "timing belt" as it has nothing to do with the timing or running of the engine.

There is no adjustment for the ignition timing, it is all computer controlled. The only way the timing could be out is if the chain jumped a tooth.

The 2.2 ctdi engine has a timing chain

v8s have timing chains

The buckle and belt need to be replaced.  They are only good for one time during a collision.  The buckle has an explosive charge in it that causes the buckle to pull back toward the seat.  The belt does the the same.  It locks up during an accident, also so body shops can't try to reuse it.  The SRS light will stay on until they are replaced.

your car has a timing chain with a hydraulic tensioner. is it just an unstable idle ( revs up and down) or does the engine have a slight misfire?
