In order to run properly, the engine in your Toyota vehicle needs its valves and pistons to pump at the right time. For that to happen, your camshaft and crankshaft must operate in sync.

Unfortunately, you can't always tell when your timing belts is starting to go bad. In fact, yours can fail with hardly any warning at all. That's because the reinforcing cords on the inside may have lost their tensile strength and grown weak even though your belt looks fine at a glance.
