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
If it was clutch, you would hear it slip on fast take offs.

If its just in that RPM range, MAF.

I changed my battery a couple weeks back and had the old one with my all day. No issue whatsoever.

No CEL? At least then you would have a code.
