Your vehicle's timing belt is one of the most crucial parts that keeps your car running. It links the camshaft (which opens and closes the engine's valves to allow air and gas in and out of the engine) to the crankshaft, which manages the pistons of your engine. In most vehicles, the timing belt also operates your vehicle's water pump, oil pump, and injection pump.
