Chase53 · 02-20-2013, 05:21 PM

I have a 2003 base with the 2.7 and 114,000 miles, I noticed in the last few days its sluggish in the 3k-5k rpm range. I did a search on here, and narrowed it down to 2 potential problems. One is the clutch, the other is, I put in a new battery Saturday. I read on here that can change the cam timing if voltage isn't suppled to the car. I wish I would have read that before I changed it!

The engine isn't missing or any other strange sound, any ideas? If it's the cam timing, what is involved with fixing it?

TIA
