Gee-dog Member 27 Member For: 10y 9m 1d Posted 23/09/14 10:27 PM Share Posted 23/09/14 10:27 PM What are the signs of incorrect valve timing? Mine had the following:MIL light on with codes P138 & P1386 (intake & exhaust cams too far advanced). Idle worse than normal (which isn't particularly smooth anyway)Otherwise it seemed to drive as normal. My chain had jumped one tooth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no idea. Just a bit of rough idle, sometimes, which I put down to the old stock valve springs at the time. Could have been both, who knows!
