Why does my Nissan Frontier not start up?
Engine Won’t Start – If your Frontier’s timing chain or belt has fallen off completely, broken, or has jumped a few teeth, it is entirely possible that the engine won’t even start. You might hear it slapping around as the engine cranks over.
What does a tensioner do on a Nissan Frontier?
The tensioners job is to keep the right amount of pressure on your Nissan Frontier’s timing belt or chain. As the belt/chain stretches through normal operation, it would get loose and fall off or jump. The tensioner keeps this from happening by keeping a consistent amount of force on the belt.
