Default Need some serious help! About to scrap car! Help appreciated!

I am completely stumped!

This is a follow-up to the previous thread.

When I test drove this car, it ran fine, idled well, drove well. When I took it home 10 weeks later after sitting, oil pressure light turned on. I stopped and car sounded like a turbo diesel.

I stopped and had the car towed to my friend's house. I had a hard time starting it, but after a TBA, all seemed well. No *turbo diesel sound*, engine idled and sounded properly, I drove it a mile and back. Had the car running for 20 min. No problems.

Well, I decided to do an oil change. Ran a Motul Cleaner prior. Now the engine sounds like a turbo diesel again. I am totally stumped!

Here is a quick youtube video for your viewing pleasure

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/w5XLJg-IhCw&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/w5XLJg-IhCw&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

It threw the following codes:

Any input would be appreciated!


16684 - Random/Multiple Cylinder Misfire Detected
P0300 - 35-00 - -
16688 - Cylinder 4: Misfire Detected

It sounds to me like your timing belt tensioner is about to completly fail.
