Hi,

At this point get the timing belt replaced unless you know it was done
recently. This engine is a non-interference engine, but it is still a
good move to do now. Some posters here advise having the water pump
done at the same time if there is any seepage visible.

Yes, the engine timing is ECU controlled, but that is off the base of
a manual setting which is a more coarse setting. It will not usually
be out if the engine has not been disturbed, but should be checked
with a timing light after the timing belt is done. After that the ECU
takes over.

As to the diff fluid your mechanic should really have known that it
was Dexron. This is not as all unusual as many diffs with auto trans
use the same fluid. Up to about 95 (not sure) it was common (ie same
fluid) in Camry trans. This is because the transaxle does not need
hypoid oil.

On fuel injection, it would not be routinely necessary to check
pressure unless there was some sort of undesirable sympton. The most
common thing is for an on-car injection clean to be done at abot 100K
miles. Even then many savants say it is not needed unless you have
symptons like stumbling and hesitation.

Cheers
