I pride myself on the ability to search lol… the timing chain was my biggest fear so I fixed everything else that COULD’VE been the problem :joy: now I’m pretty sure it’s the timing chain but it’s not broke thank god just loose

Once I finally fixed my maf sensor and re-replaced my fuel pressure sensor and she started misfiring on every cylinder I said oh yea it’s a timing thing been getting a code for camshaft timing over advanced also but theory was an oil change would fix that…nope!

It was off before I changed the fuel pressure sensor (which was the wrong one) car started up really fast but started misfiring. I heard the timing chain hitting the case and it cut off at operating temp. I scanned it and got misfires in every cylinder and the timing over advanced code
