Had a friend come over and swapped MAFs and no change in lobe. But my timing belt cover was already off, so i took his off too. it really looks like my intake did jump a tooth.

Took my car to the shop yesterday and stopped by today. It was the timing belt. I just got it put on about 3 months ago. It was loose and looked stretched. Im assuming it was a combo of not changing the tensioner and getting a after market belt.

Before i did the timing belt, i seached on here to see what all i should change. i read 100 post and got 100 different opinions. so i left the water pump and tensioner be, since the motor was more then likey going to be built before 90k.

I cut some corners and now i got to do it all over again.
