ok i just got done with the timing belt. took me forever to get the cam lock and crank lock pin. but now timing is dead on. i started it up and im still surging up and down and then it dies. same thing as before. and i still have the same cam positioning sensor codes. it runs pretty smooth except for the surging up and down then dieing. UGH what is wrong with this thing.
The cam belt sprockets use a special type socket T40028, all four bolts should be loose then the belt installed and pre-tensioned then starting with the driver side exhaust cam bolt turn cw to 10nm or 7.5 ftlb then repeat to pass side then tighten all four to 100nm or 74 ftlb.
Take a look at this link about the positive crankcase vent valve, it may apply to the surging problem

I timed it according to alldata. Same as the walkthrough on here. I replaced that crankcase diaphragm but no change. I'll leak down test it weds. But I did a compression test and it passed. It ran perfectly before the guy pulled it supposedly. I meen what else could throw all 4 cam codes.

Well. No I didn't use the socket but I did use two punches with a bar in between. Figured it would do the same thing. If it took a lil slack would that make the car idle surge?

Behind the exhaust cam bolts you might of noticed something else right,
the socket in my mention sets this.

Good god, buy the tools so you know it is timed right. Tools are critical for this job, more so when you think there might be a timing related issue.

I did set the exhaust cam slack I just didn't use the socket. But I did rotate it all the way clockwise. But ill pull it apart and check everything again. Ill get the socket. What about the cam adjusting valves. Could they be bad?
