    mivec cam noise

    I replaced the timing belt along with the timing tensioner turns on fine idles fine but if you Rev it up till the mivec engages it sounds like there's something loose and it's coming from the intake cam
    Just did the oil change 3 weeks ago with motul 5 30
    Checked the oil and it's good

    Found what it might be... Connected the scanner says timing is advanced so it gave me cam position sensor code
    Not saying it is the cam sensor just saying my intake cam gear is ahead on timing
    Car went it limp mode and from then on had a hard time starting I'm going to readjust the timing and go from there
