First off I wanna apologize for not posting in a while it’s been crazy between work and home.
I got a question and I need someone to help me with it. My car has been down for a week and a half but I know my timing is off. If the intake and exhaust cams are off timing how do you adjust them to get them back on timing? This is a 2.4L vvt timing chain? Please anyone that knows about timing.

 

These are interference motors so if the timing goes it is very common for a valve to hit the piston bending it. What symptoms is the car giving you now?

 

the symptoms is I can get the car to start at times but I’ll leave it idle and it will shut off automatically after about a minute. When it was running I didn’t have full power. It’s been parked since the issues started

 

These are the codes it’s throwing now

 

Pull the cam cover off check the timing and make sure the cam phasers lock

 

You will need to reset the timing to above detail. Rotating engine around wont work. There is a shim on the crank sprocket you need to remove with a pick to reveal that timing mark. Dont forget to put it back on when you go to reassemble!

 

if it still starts im thinking one the the phasers is bad ive seen plenty of them run fine and when you go to move they stall out

 

thank you that’s the answer I’ve been waiting for before I messed with it. I’ll be getting to it this weekend and seeing what the issue is and I’ll get back to you

 

I appreciate it and I’ll let you know what’s going on. Imma mess with it this weekend and find what the issue is appreciate everyone helping me on this cause I was gonna put a new timing chain kit in but if I gotta adjust the cams on top I didn’t wanna mess with it cause I didn’t know how to do that

 

this should be all you need, they are pretty simple to do

 

I appreciate that boss. That will make it even easier to do now.
