I have replaced the timing chain twice in the last 6 months after a year of stalling. Spent the last year with the engine making terrible noises and stalling when you slow down to park or exit traffic. Am I wrong? Would sloppy chains really make it loose power? That's why I think I might have something that's tricking the VVT in to keeping the cam timing in a retard state like 100% of the time. I can't believe I've got sloppy timing chains at 105K. Well the car just hit 105,000 miles and has only ever had synthetic run through it being changed at regular intervals. Everything I read people say they go after the cam sensors first and it usually doesn't help because it always ends up being sloppy timing chains. So the question is, where the heck do I go from hear. I went and had it scanned today to see if the DTC was still in the memory which it was. Yesterday it through a check engine light for a short period of time. I started running some seafoam through it to try and clean the injectors up a bit and bring some pep back to no avail either. So I thought it might be time for a tune up. So for the past 4 months or so I've noticed that the car seamed under powered and it started given more feedback shake through the steering wheel at stop lights. However, I searched for my specific dilemma and came up snake eyes. Hey, what's up guys? I'm new to the forum and so far I'm seeing a lot of great threads in here.
