If this is a higher mileage vehicle you might be looking at a worn timing chain. If the timing chain is worn enough the crankshaft and camshaft will not be in the proper positions in relation to each other. What code exactly do you have! Anything else going on, like lack of power? That's another symptom of a worn timing chain. Hope that helps! Jim
