★ Top Answer
The 2005 Mitsubishi Outlander utilizes a timing belt to coordinate the movement of the crankshaft and camshaft, which in turn controls the timing of the valves' opening and closing. This belt has grooves on its back that match with teeth on the pulleys. When the belt becomes significantly worn, it may skip a few teeth, disrupting the timing, reducing engine power, and potentially causing misfires. If the timing is sufficiently off, the vehicle may fail to start as the synchronization between fuel introduction and valve operation is disrupted. A worn belt could also lead to contact between the pistons and valves, necessitating extensive repairs.
