Car is idling at 2000 rpm on petrol and backfired and won't run properly on gas, i did degrease and wash the engine so that may be the cause also but just want to rule out the tensioner.
Just did that JC as above. The problem in the last paragraph was because of stuffed inlet manifold gasket, i thought i did something wrong doing the tensioner but it just so happened the gasket decided to give up at the same time. All good now, except for the leak out of the long bracket bolt.
