OK. If I can't solve the problem with simple methods, I may have to tow it to holden, get them to check it out. Am really hoping it is something simple, save myself $2000 + in repairs if possible. The car will only sell for around 6-8k. But,.. It is what it is. I've used under experienced mechanics on previous vehicles and paid dearly. Thank you heaps for your input on this situation.Scan tool could/should pick up the issue. What happens is the chains stretch, so your cam position sensors start giving incorrect signals.
As for repair cost, timing chains arent all that expensive to fix. Probably around $1500-2000.
But first step before jumping into anything is find a decent mechanic to look at it. A scantool, depending on the proprietry licenses it has, and in the correct hands can tell you more than you need.
