Default new car dead...

Well, my new car is dead. I had the timing belt changed not too long ago, and that's when the problems started. When I got the car back, it had a slight vibration. Well, it only got worse the more I drove the car. Come to find out, I think the mechanic damaged my tensioner, while removing the belt. So now, in reality what was happening, whille I was driving the car, it was jumping timing a little more each time I was driving. So now, its so far out of whack, it won't start. It's going to Mitsu. dealer this morning. Hopefully I'll have it back by tomorrow. [:@] Oh well. What a lovely way to start out the week! [:@]

thats what I did...He said it must have been something else. And he even tore the engine back down for me to see that it was in time. But the thing is, that I didn't know then, was that the tensioner was probably at fault the whole time. I think when he removed the timing belt, he damaged the tensioner, because there is a certain way you have to remove it. And I doubt very seriously, that he did. I will find out everything tomorrow when the dealer tears into it.
