      I haven’t look at the injectors yet. all the spark plugs look the same so it would be affecting all the injectors at the same time? i checked fuel pressure with the key off and it didn’t leak down. with the engine running the fuel pressure is about 50 psi this seams high to me but i read that is normal for theise cars idk

        ok so i started to double check my work.as i was doing this i turned both cams toward one another with a wrench and it did bring up some slack and while i did that the chain actually jumped fairly easy i din’t force it so i got my answer. it may have jumped when i hade the igntion trouble idk. thanks for all the help. fuel injected cars are a lot harder than my old dodge pickups lol

          ok so i went and got some of my tools and i have good fuel pressure. but i have no compression 🙁 on any cylinder it wont even read on my tester. i pulled the valve cover and the timing chain seams tight and the cams spin round and round. it was running fine no smoke or anything untill this happend. i checked my tester on my snowblower and it pumped it up fine. could this be a head gasket or maybe the key on the crank for the timing chain. i don’t think it jumped it is to tight for that i think unless the teeth wore off the drive sprocket

            Yes I’m sure. I should have mentioned its a 2.2 ecotech engine. There is no way to cross the wires as there really isn’t any (coil on plug kinda)

              Sounds like low fluid level maybe. always check the simple stuff first

                once it warms up after 15 min or so it will finally idle lower. i have looked for vacuum leaks but as it is a poor design lots of vac lines go under the plenum and the only way to get at them is to remove it. i tried sea-foam and when it was in the shop they replaced fuel filter and cleaned the injectors
