2007 Honda Accord Special Edition Timing Belt (part#95329)

A:

Proper timing is key to having a smooth running vehicle. The timing belt is a major component to a properly timed vehicle. It is vital to keep the timing belt in good operating condition. A broken timing belt can cause major problems with your engine. Fortunately, a timing belt usually gives some warning signs before it breaks. The timing belt has the simple but important job of connecting the crankshaft to the camshaft. The crankshaft controls the engine's pistons and the camshaft opens and closes the valves, according to Castrol.com. The valves would not be able to open and close without the timing belt, thus preventing the engine from running. A worn timing belt cannot perform its job well, which in turn causes performance problems. There are several symptoms of a worn or frayed timing belt. Be sure to see your mechanic if you experience rough idling, difficulty in starting or hear strange noises coming from the engine. As with many automotive problems, see your mechanic at the onset any of these symptoms. Delaying that inevitable trip to the mechanic will more than likely make the situation worse as the miles go by.
