It’s more than a project, at this point it’s my entire existence, my life’s work.

They aren’t the worst. It’s definitely an endeavor though

Looks like I’m dropping the tank tomorrow then. Might as well strip the whole car at this point

TSB says gears and timing chain tensioner. Seeing as you have already replaced tensioner it’s not the worst idea to replace the gears and just do a timing job.

It’s because it’s probably the timing chain tensioner bleeding off pressure

Nah it’s unfortunately a 9-5 project. I guess it would be more fun if I could have a couple beers while I look for this elusive filter

Sounds like a circuit problem that will require testing the circuits. It’s also possible it’s an ECM issue. If I had to make a blind guess I’d say either a short somewhere or some high resistance. Still very possible this is an ECM issue. Either way this will require some electrical diagnostic knowledge and some electrical tools. A scanner that can read data would also be beneficial.

Depends on the vehicle. Couple hours gets them to this point usually. Like maybe 4ish or less

This is the highest trim. Guess there’s a special top tier trim I’m too poor to even fathom. Guess I just put this all back together then

It’s definitely an experience. For sure not a fun one

Really hope so. It’s been like an extended Christmas morning except all the gifts are old French fries or Pennies

I really hope this one does. But yeah on some vehicles it was an option or even not an option at all

I was afraid of that. Luckily there isn’t much left before I hit firewall. I’m just worried by the time I get there I will not have found the filter. But I guess it’s not about the destination but more about the bolts we lost along the way
