It's timing, either the crank or the cam's are off by a tooth. Keep in mind that when you tighten the belt that the cam gears are going to want to move. 90% of the time it's the intake cam that moves a tooth, but it is possible the crank moved as well. Easiest way to do this is to align your crank first, then make the belt as tight as possible by hand going towards the exhaust cam. When you get the crank and the exhaust cam lined up perfectly with no major slack running between the two, advance the intake cam by one tooth and slip the belt on the intake side. When you tighten up the tensioner and take all the slack out the intake cam should move into alignment.

I know for a fact it's your timing belt, because I end up re-doing at least 2-3 timing belts a month for people who couldn't get them lined up right, and their cars run exactly like you posted.

mark the belt and cam gears with something like a liquid pen. This will let you know when your lining things up that when your buttoning everything up you havent skipped a tooth.

The ------- tensioner pulley bolt is rounded off......
I cant get the damn the loose.....am i correct that its counter clock to loosen it
Ive tried sockets vicegrips.....the damn thing is completely round and it wont come loose.....
i tried taking the driverside mount off and lowering the engine enough to hammer a bolt on there....but no go....
I cant figure it out........the car is kicking the ---- outta me

weld another bolt to the head of the 14mm tensioner belt. Then hit it quick with the impacty and you should be good to go
