Replacing the timing belt on a 2001 Honda Accord. The belt has snapped so the car would not start. It just cranks over.
Did this on December 23, 2015. Friend just needed the timing belt replaced to just get it running. I recommended to replace the water pump since it is in the area of the timing belt but she did not have enough money since it was Christmas time.
How the NO START occurred.
Friend was driving and came to a complete stop on a traffic light, suddenly the car just died. She tried to start it and it just keeps on turning/cranking over and not starting. Battery was just replaced a month ago, that's what she told me.
Please watch here how I diagnose this car.

This is by far my absolute favorite " how to " video I have ever seen. This video should be the golden standard on how ALL " how to " videos should be made. PERIOD!
Thank you Jeremy. your comment is very much appreciated. Have a nice day
This guys video photoage is really good, clear, non bouncy, no BS talk, just good text infor and straight image
I recently changed the timing belt on my 2002 Honda Accord and found your video quite helpful. As for removing the crankshaft pulley near the beginning I couldn’t get the damn thing off myself. I went to a local shop and had one of the techs loosen the bolt with an impact wrench, and needed a gear puller to get it off. Overall it was a major knuckle buster job. When your timing belt broke, you’re lucky it didn’t damage the engine. With such luck you should try betting on horses or buying lottery tickets! Thanks for posting this informative and helpful video.
Love this video , I actually fixed my own timming belt on my accord buy watching it step by step. I saved a 1,000 dollars on a timming belt water pump job .
Dude! Out-effing-standing! Might be the best DIY vid I've ever seen. Speed through the mundane, show the tech charts and markings lined up on car, and the broken belt face LOL!. You rock.
I’ve done this on my Honda accord and it is a lot of work. Thank you for the video. Great editing!!!
What is the most important factor, the miles on the belt or the age of the belt? When I bought the honda years ago the mechanis at honda always said the belt is only to be changed after 105,000 mles. Now I see on the internet they say change it after 7 years even if there is only 30k on the belt. What is the truth?
Which ever comes first honestly. Age can dry the belt out the same as mileage can @@mikem6796
Чувак, ты просто герой! Работать одной рукой и снимать видео другой это круто! Большой тебе респект и уважуха! Ты помог мне и тысячам других владельцев этого хорошего автомобиля! Удачи тебе и всего самого хорошего!👏👍🥇
I love his video's. Straight to the point no Fucking around or wasting time or telling life stories.
Right
You said what I was thinking. 👍
😂💯
No new water pump while you’re in there? What happens when it goes out in a 1000 mi. Like a crx I had back in the day
I’ll never do a timing belt without doing a $50 water pump also
THIS IS the way all "how to" videos should be done!!!!! Excellent job showing what tools are used where. 5 stars
Thank you for the comment Big Daddy. I really appreciate it. Please subscribe and have a nice day.

Yeah and not a lot of useless dialogue.
Jr., I know you did this vid 5yrs ago but I just had to comment about your no-nonsense style and approach to auto repair. I knew I could do this but always like to see how others tackle this job first! It all made perfect sense just watching without all of the jibber-jabbing! I liked your expressions however...I've been there!! This is the top automotive repair video I have ever seen by far! I'm 68 years young, a former USAF mechanic and You are the man!! Thanks!!
I remember having the hardest time finding a good video for tightening the Timing and balancing belts when I bent a valve letting a bolt drop in my intake plenum and I took the head off to fix it. Your video, hands down, would have made that a whole lot easier. Now I get to follow your walk through, seeing as how my crankshaft seal decided to douse my brand new Mitsoboshi belts in hot oil.
This guy do it the right way ... I recommend watching his Chanel ... he follows the steps 100%
99% of his vid are 100% from the book
Thank you for the video. After all the clear steps and details, I realized there’s no way in hell im going to attempt this.
It's really not that hard dude.
Bruh facts
Thats what i said as well with my 03 civic lx but i did it brother. Gotta take your time replay it in your head to where you see youself going through the steps and fixing it. My timing belt got ate up and bent all 16 valves, i took it get fixed and replaced the water pump, tensioner, timing belt, and head gasket while in there plus new timing cover all by myself plus using vids and repair manual all at 214,000 miles! Now im at 222,223 miles running strong, (knock on wood)
If you have all the right tools and time you can do it!! Oh and a jug of lemonade!!
@@dmonster808 impressive. I need to get my 01 changed asap. ive watched so many videos and it seems very intimidating
Thanks, after watching your video I decided not to pay 100s of dollars to the repair shop and performed the timing belt change in my 94 Honda Accord myself. I decided to change the water pump while I was in there. Thanks again.
This guy is so good he change the timing belt on this car with one hand. 😂
Denny He also replaced a radiator with one hand. A+ Man. He’s also a good family man!
🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍
And didn’t complain about holding the camera
No shit yeah !!👍👍
This dude is hardcore
Thank you for this video. I did a water pump as well. Just for everyone’s FYI it’s not the lower right one. That’s the oil pump. Excellent video. I am so glad you showed oil pump and whatever that other thing is you aligned. If anyone breaks a belt make sure to get you time the cam shaft as well. This really helped me out today. Thanks!!!!!!
I have to agree with the majority of the comments this was an excellent video, it's hard to believe that it was that detailed with such good information in such a short time, that's a very good Format you are currently using for your how to videos keep up the good work
Alongside the official service manual, I think you got me set up for success. Thanks for the video. You’re a rockstar
Nice job on this video whoever did this.. Very direct and to the point, made sure he slowed down and focused on critical steps in the fix just as you would in the actual job.. and great zoom, diagrams... perfectly paced, and well-balanced video. If you work like this man does and use zip lock bags and a sharpie for hardware/parts and take pictures along the way, before and after removing parts... even as an amateur you can't fuck up
Your friend is extremely lucky she was sitting at a traffic light at idle when the timing belt snapped. Otherwise there certainly would have been bent valves and other horrific engine destruction. She's also lucky to have a friend like you that knows how to replace it. Just bought a very clean and very solid 1998 Accord for my daughters first car that just turned 100,000. I was able to get the owner down 300 dollars on the price because she said the timing belt was never changed. She had no idea what a timing belt was. I'm replacing it myself this weekend so that will save me labor cost. I came to this video as a refresher because it has been 20 years since I changed one. It's all coming back to me now! Thanks for the video.
Should you go by miles on the belt or the age of the belt when it comes to the timing belt?
whichever comes first. i think with this car its something like 105k or 10 years (dont quote me) but should be safe and do it a bit sooner IMO@@mikem6796
Perfect! This tutorial is a masterpiece
Perfectly explained without word's, the old saying should be changed to " one video Worth more than 1000 words"
Thanks pal, I wish you get another 1M subscribers and also I wish other youtubers watch the video to have an idea of how things should be done.
I had a similar experience with our 1998 Honda Odyssey. Engine is F22B. The how to diagnose by watching the cams move or not was very helpful. Thanks Angel. I knew then my belt was broken. Worried other part like valves might be damaged as well. But watching Angel's video gave me some hope that it might just be belt replacement. In my case, the lower belt snapped that also caught the timing belt that eventually snapped as well. I'm not sure if F22B engines are interference or not. But there's a clearance between pistons and valves according to the mechanic who did work on my car. Belts were replaced and running ok now. Thanks Kababayan for the video!
I’m impressed with how well you video while reinstalling springs. Great job, keep them coming!
I just want to say thank you! I had to replace an oil seal, and in the process screwed up the timing. Your video help me re set the timing on my 2000 accord. Again THANK YOU!
best video i have ever seen, no nonsense or rambling and your reaction to the chewed up belt was great! thanks!
to all the smarter than thou mechanics. he in great detail showed the critical steps to finish a TIMING BELT job. other proceedure like changing the water pump and seals are all extras. maybe the customer could only afford a new belt. Awesome vid man. Subbed for sure
Amazing video! Straight to the point, with diagrams, and zoomed in video. Great job man
Amazingly well done video with excellent graphic visuals as needed that should help anyone wanting to attempt this repair with some confidence. Thanks for making this tutorial.
I love this guy.....that broken belt face tho lol
Nissan patfinder 95 Seal abracam
Nissan patfinder 95 oil seal cam shaft
thanks, you gave me the confidence to repair my 97 Accord. Car worth like 1250, needs 1300 in repairs at the shop, did it all myself for 250
Sweet! I was contemplating doing this myself but I’ll just eat the cost and take it to a professional. There is no way I am doing that without messing up the car even more lol.
Thanks Angel.
thank you thank you thank you, I spent two days to replace the crank shaft sensor on 99 Honda accord, after that I got the signal for the fuel injectors, but the engine won't start and then some smoke comes out from the intake, I figured out that we didn't set the timing marks like it should be, then I found your video, I am going to download it to do everything step by step like you, thank you, I hope god lead you always to the right way.
THANKS BRO!!! Great style of video, no bullshit straight to the point. I'm going to start putting links to your videos on all the other videos i watched before this. lol
my belt has missing teeth and stopped running at a stoplight.not knowing this i tried starting it after it sat for a few months and it fired right up, ran smooth but a lil thump sound like a air bubble in a bike tire, here and there and stopped again but it did run very smooth. i took off the valve cover and sure enough seen the missing teeth on the belt. busted my ass trying to get the pulley bolt off with no freaking luck. heated it with a torch but didnt budge. i will get all the tools i saw you using and go at it again when im off work. i appreciate your video and thanks bro. seen many others and yours is definitely top 3 but #1 when it comes to actually seeing the points to line up and the humorous look killed it man. I'll be in touch very soon. Thanks Again.
i love the way this video was a 'no bullshit talk', just work! Thumbs up< Homie!!!
Ak operators union????
First time in history a french man can understand a tuto in english speaking without english speaking. Merci beaucoup !
Make more 98-02 Accord vids
This was really helpful
Es correcto es 98-02 y 94-97
This was THEE BEST video for doing this job. I am NOT A MECHANIC but I followed exactly what he does and it cranked right up with no problems. I have watched many other videos and they do a great job of explaining step by step as they go along and some of them get a lil too technical for my ears.This video gets straight to it, no talking and explaining, just straight step by step instructions while he does the job. If you do it exactly the way he done it than it should work. I really appreciate this video Fix it Angel, I'm ready to get back in there without being afraid of doing more damage after watching and doing the job. Not sure how the hell you pulled it off while shooting video at the same time???? Thanks Again Bro..
Thank you porkbeats, I'm happy you understood every step. You just showed everyone you do not have to be a mechanic to do this stuff. I'm proud of you man!! For those who can't watch and follow. I'm lost for words to those people.
Yes, it was hard to wrench with one hand and video with the other. Believe me I tried to narrate. But it was too hard and I thought, why talk? The viewers can follow and if they don't like my video. Oh well?! That sucks for them.
I did this job 2 days before Christmas and my friend was in need of help. I brought all my tools and started 8am-12pm. I just got done before my 3 year old got home from school at 12:45pm.
When you put your mind to it, you can accomplish mostly everything. I'm thankful that you appreciate this video because it was not easy. I do it for people like you in need for guidance on fixing your own cars.
The good Lord is always watching over me and I try to help others in return.
Welcome and please like and subscribe if you haven't already.
Have a nice day, Bro.
Wow! Knowing that you did this for a friend makes it that much more incredible. I hope this karma comes back to you 10 fold.
As for me, I'm scared at the thought of removing the power steering belt, so this job seems pretty overwhelming to me. I'd end up with a bunch of pieces removed with no idea how to replace them ;)
Thanks for doing this!
+Fix It Angel i appreciate you much and God Bless You Brother. my wife wont even let me in that Honda now..lol. my Accord is a 94 and only difference i saw was the motor mount bolts. The car fires right up and I mean it starts instantly and it sat for 11 months before i found this video. Your are a true blessing buddy. keep it up. ill have my eye on tour channel. rhanks Again..👆
After installing the timing belt and smaller balancer belt, I always turn the crank 2 revolutions counter clockwise before tightening the tensioner bolt. That way, the tension on the timing belt will be perfectly set.
Meng Moua Agree 100%!
This actually helped me a lot, im doing a head gasket on my accord and that requires taking the belt off, ive been fighting it for almost 2 weeks now and i just got it back on today.
this made my life so much easier lol, great job buddy, you're my hero.
The best video yet after all this years. Thanks
wow...thanks again.. all this overtime..for the sake of kindness...you are a blessing.. God bless
+jirojoseph esman Welcome, Have a Happy New Year. God Bless You and the family.
Finally a video where someone knows what they're doing! Say something Bro, you did a great job, should explain the process.
Thank you, No need for explaining. Just follow. If you need explaining. Then it's good to get the car repair manual. It's for those who want to get to the point and get it done.
Nice video. Thorough & well presented. I'm surprised to see an interference engine survive a t/b break though. I did this job on a '90 vw passat years ago and its intake valves were all bent & had to be replaced. valve shaft damage was obvious as soon as the cover was off. I was surprised you didn't look at valves for damage before proceeding w the rest of the job. Glad it worked out for you though. Keep up the good work!
Hi Brian, I didn't have a compression tester or leak down tester so i told my friend, we'll take a chance and just put on the belt and see what happens. Thank you. Have a nice day.
How long to just verify bad belt?
I was wondering the same thing. Eric the car guy said he also just takes the chance. Mine broke while driving but I've decided to remove the head to inspect the damage. Even if its ok, I'm happy to clean out the manifold and EGR port which was all gunked up real bad. Also mine broke while I was doing 65 on the highway.
Thought the same. My timing belt just broke on my 99 Accord I'm hoping to have this same luck.
I like your video, just do it , I give you 10 starts, good job brother................straight to the point
I've done this job so many times. Good video. If you're up to the challenge, do it! What's really cool about Honda 4 cylinders is, they rotate backwards. They run counter-clockwise. I guess, like a motorcycle? That's the reason why you need the crank holding tool.
If anybody that has ever owned a 90’s Honda, that crank pulley bolt is no joke to get lose.
I've never had a problem with them till my sister's honda I did belts had to go back in and change oil pump boring about 6 mo ths later ended up buying the crank holder tool cause impact wouldn't touch it
Good video! No talking and you did it all holding the camera.
awesome. great camera work
I like your video step by step it helps a lot to us viewers.. 1 of the best part I like is whenever there is a noise or disturbance you try to focus on them and thats really make you unique from the others.. big Thumbs up for you..Thanks and God bless you..
+Arthur Gonzales Thank you for the comment and God Bless you. Please subscribe. Have a nice day.
Super video.
Will the honda accord engine go up to 97 without automatic problemes please
Thanks for taking your valuable time to teach us how to do some repairs on our trusty Honda Accords.
7:30 Ah man. That moment was GOLD.
In short How were you able to pin the exact time??
@@brendoconseco1911 Late reply I know but just type the time in the format I used. eg: 0:12 1:23 12:34 etc
The broken timing belt face...best part! Well done, love this video, thx for posting it. Helped a lot!
7:31, my feelings also. Great job my friend!
Early on i realized this is for the 4 cyl model, i need the 5 cyl. but I still watched all the way through. Great job.
The was no damage to the motor from the broken timing belt?
Brah!! I like your videos cause it’s all straight to point R/R parts & what to do! Others like to talk & explain but don’t show anything or show start & finish of project only and no video in between!! Good job braddah! You’d be the one I would want to work on my cars!! 👍
7:31 Hahahahahaha! Great video man. Thanks.
😂😂😂
Outstanding video--7 years after it was posted. Thank you.
I can't stop laughing at the face u made when u saw the leftover belt haha you have earned urself a sub my friend
Johnny cash thank you!! Have a nice day my friend
Fantastic Video! From a teacher, this is how it should be done! Great Job, Great Video! Thanks!
Well done vid, BUT - Duralast belts? Gates FTW, since a busted belt ruins your day (and on an interference motor, more than your day). And it sucks so bad to get to the damn timing belts that I always replace the tensioner and water pump as well. Oh yeah, and I hate Vegas, but they're lucky to have you there. :-)
I really appreciate this video. Seen alot of other repair channels, but this one stood out. It's detailed at the right times followed up with the demonstration. Now if only you can get a chance to do 1 gen expedition repair vids. Lol
i love the quick pictures of shop manual!!! very nice thanks i am about to put back together with laptop on engine:):)
joel
Awesome brother. Just take your time and double check everything. have a nice day
I've ordered an Aisin kit & Crankshaft holding wrench on Ebay. Will be working on my Accord soon. The downside is I only have basic hand tools & cordless impact driver nothing fancy & no mechanical skills =( Will definitely use this GREAT video for reference. You make it look very simple. Thanks Fix it Angel!!!
freaking awesome man
+ignizero Thank you, Happy New Year!!
I like how you show the different socket that you use in the different places that you would use them that help out a lot
Don't have to say a word let the tools tell ya how to remove things👍
Mate, your video helped in a pinch when I was working on some kids 99. Cheers from across the pond!
That would be my face at 7:31 lmao
This is one of the best videos for this job. I need to do mine. It's long over due. When I go to this job. I will watch this video. I think I can do it. I didn't know there were 2 belts in there. Thank dude.
there was no bent valves?
Manny Locz I was wondering that too, I thought this was an interference engine. and if that's true, does turning the cams with belt off do damage if pistons are up????
no bent valves, sometimes you get lucky. i told my friend, let's try because there was 2 other cars same situation, i replace t-belt and it worked. all the cars just shutoff at idle when they were at a stop light.
Its a non interfernce engine
By far the best how to video ever!... Absolutely amazing!...
I've read that when a timing belt breaks on an interference engine like on Hondas the engine is usually destroyed. Apparently that's not the case.
Depends on the engine / year
Sometimes you can get lucky.
Dude, this video is awesome!! Like a Charles Chaplin film!! Thanks brother!!
I thought all hondas were interference designs??
They are, but sometimes you'll get lucky and the belt snap won't destroy your engine. It possibly did some damage tho, cars running pretty rough.
I'm going to do this soon. Thanks for the great video so many years later. Hopefully save me $1000
Welcome brother, you definitely save money. Be safe and be patient. Get’r done!
that crank bolt looked way too easy usually those are on there so tight they sometimes are nearly impossible to come off
jonathan w okay for that yea sometimes you struggle with the impact gun and it doesn’t come off sucks but your best choice is to buy a bigger gun air impact but bigger and not only that you need the sockets for that same size of the gun use that it’s so powerful with all that struggle it will loosen it it within 3 to 4 seconds
jonathan w perakitan motor honda
Finally a video that really shows how to do a job thank you brother very good job
I thought this was an interference engine
Fix it angel honest mechanic humble and great family man
This is a most excellent work and filming. I realize how a pain in the ass to work in cars with one hand while you hold your camera with the other hand. Very useful and again, very excellent !
Glad to find and subscribe to your channel! Love the way you squeeze a timing belt job into a video under 15 minutes. Remarkable.
Just found this video, excellent How To. Loved how you paused on each tool and the bolts. The diagrams were also a big help. What I learned from this video is I do not want to do this job myself now. :)
Wow!!
Size of the tool, puse where you need to use the tool, draws of the are you’re working in, captions explaining what you need to do and a little of fun. What else? I’m subscribed.
Amazing!! Excellent job. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Glad it was not a Non Interference engine. I’ll be doing this kind of work soon on my brothers 97 Accord. Thanks for the very informative video.
Like my Pop said...all the right tools for an easy job..Nice video man.
Great info brother as always u brake it down step by step
Dude you have the loudest neighborhood EVER lol. Awesome video. straight to the point, with a little humor mixed in. other youtubers please take notes!! 10 out of 10!!
Great video, shows what I need in under 14 minutes.
Excellent video. Best timing instructional video I've ever seen.
Whew. That is a lot of work. My 98 Accord needs one soon. Above my pay grade.
One of the best auto repair videos ever. Precise & concise. Thank you for posting.
Thank you! Fantastic video, I like the way you put all the size of the sockets, and the screenshots of the pictures on how to set the timing and positions of covers and Pulleys!
Only thing I would add is more commentary as you work would be nice, even if it’s cursing it breaks up the monotony!
Welcome brother, I will try more cursing 🤣
We Germans are very sensitive in the topic of car, but I would entrust my car to you ........... you are really good mechanic
I love this video! no words said and is shown completely how to do it. Even show when I asked myself wtf is that noise.
Thanks, Really clear video. I marked old belts and pulleys etc. Then put corresponding marks on new belts. But you show all the timing marks on pulleys and motor. So I now know to use your method. as a check or if the belt is already broken (your case). I found it a puzzle to take out lower belt cover. Got there in the end though. This is a do able job but allow a couple of days if you are a novice. Don't get under a car on a jack ALWAYS USE strands and chock wheels.
Excellent video One of the most under rated "how to" dudes out there. This guy deserves more subs then Eric the car guy, Scott Kilmer or Ratchets and wrenches. this is a REAL tutorial. ... although I'm confused as to why you removed the valve cover gaskets... maybe there is something i missed. I have a 2002 accord and it just ticked over to the 200 thousand mark and I'm not looking forward to doing this in cold weather. My knuckles hate this shit...lol
Duh, the valve cover has to come off to take the plastic access panel off the side. lol
i had that same look on my face when you exposed the jammed up timing belt laughed my ass off !!! thanks sensei !
