I kinda thought it would advance the timing in areas due to it having fat afrs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Started the car and its idling normal and started quick and easily again.Drove to work and the popping is still gone gave it abit of a squirt no higher than 3.5K and it bagged the tyres for a few metres.Seems to be back to normal again.. Checked the DTC once I got to work and the cat below effieciency fault isn't there but the Camshaft position timing over retarded fault is present again..Anyone know had this fault come up before?

I.e have the new chains stretched or somethingWhat symptoms should the car have to give away that this has happened?At the moment the car is starting easily, idiling like it always has, and seems to feel just as sporting as always when leaning on the throttle.Is it possible the sensor itself could be giving off faulty feedback?Thanks in advance Ratter.
