The symptoms for me were running rough (for me it was rough on 2 out of 5 cylinders), lack of power, camshaft error code in ecu...

Timing chain tensioner has a sticky spot in it, so if oil pressure is slightly down (i.e. Car starting) the chain is not as tight as it should be... Need to order a new tensioner ($80 I just don't have at the moment)...

Thankfully, the tensioner can be changed from the outside of the motor and should be a 10 min job...

That and you run the chance of having the valves dance with the pistons.

Wash, polish and wax on Sunday and rear wiper delete
