Re: various flathood turbo problems 200 1983

Re. the cam belt misalignment - that's easy enough to check out. Just remove the belt covers and rotate the engine to #1 cylinder TDC. The cam, distributor and crank gears all have markings that should align with markings on the front of the engine if the cam belt is in the right position. Most shop manuals have pictures of this.

The above assumes that the car has the stock cam gear - not an aftermarket one that's adjustable. Again, this would be obvious with the covers off.

Re. excessively high idle speed and then no idle. Sounds something is wrong with the constant idle system. Check the archieves here on how to trouble-shoot this. What was the ambient termperature when it did this?

Hope this helps.
