Alright just got back from the local car shop(and they always get me worrying about my car) :disappoin so now I have a couple questions
1: After about 30 mins of the car being off, the timing belt becomes looser about 1/4-1/2" or so. They say its my tensioner going out(but I just got my timing belt replaced so??? I thought the tensioner was replaced...should I replace it again?
2: Sometimes when starting I press in the clutch and turn the key but nothing happens except the lights lighting up. And then like yesterday I turned the key and it took a few seconds to start. And today all I heard was the firing but no start up. Is this my starter going out?? I've had the car for 7 months and it is just now(within the last month) started doing this. Thanks for all the help.

thought they would replace that, asuming you didn't do it yourself.

You would hope they would replace the tensioner, i doubt it unless they charger for it. As for the starter you should get it tested. Autozone tests them for free (they have to be out of the car though).
