Haha Johnny, I thought of that as soon as I found the mod page on here.
If I can't get it fixed, I might have to take over the title and find her something else.

James- She snapped her timing belt and the spring connected to the tentioner's bracket.

Replaced the timing belt but there is No name for the spring part as far as I found. Saw some "Discontinued" Rebuild kits online with the part. None local, junkyard, dealership or friends though. So i hoped to find one here.

Welcome to the forum, Blujay! :coffee

Actually I use my left hand to gently tighten the 'tensioner' a little tighter than the spring. Maybe the spring on mine is history? Still I applied maybe 1-2 pounds more pressure, just a little, rendering the spring moot. Without it I would see where too tight is, then too loose and go about 40% in the direction of tight from the loose position. It may only be 1/4" :dunno
