After my galant 98 ES jumped timing and started making terrible noise, my mechanic replaced and reset the timing belt and it started working fine. But since the CHECK ENGINE light has refused to go off. Secondly, the car most times idles around 400rpm and 600rpm and sometimes it idles around 700rpm and 900rpm. Does anyone have a clue to these problems?

if the timing belt jumped or broke, you bent valves.
the head will need to come off.

I don't think there is any bent valve, because I have been driving it and travelling with it. The only thing I noticed is oil reduction whenever i take it on a long journey
