Engine Mechanical problem
1998 Mercury Marquis 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic
----------------------------------------------------------------
We replaced the timing belt, and pullys, but when we put the new one on, the belt would "walk" or slip. What would cause this?

thanks.

The marquis had a chain and an 8 cylinder.

What ever you have, look for a pulley that is tilted a bit, tensioner may be weak as well.
