[QUOTE="swshawaii, post: 1051274, member: 67547"] With the engine cold, remove the belt and start. Listen carefully for noises from the belt driven components. If nothing is heard, place the screwdriver tip on the front of the driver valve cover and rear of the passenger valve cover. Also the primary timing chain in the front center. Possibly a broken plastic timing chain guide causing chain slap, especially at cold startup. Do not run the engine too long without the belt or the engine will overheat. [/QUOTE]
