Well, got some values with the car warmed up and at temperature right before it cuts out. Here are some interesting ones;

Camshaft deviation bank 1 is -7.83
Camshaft deviation bank 2 is -8.75
So they were right at the shop before! I was hoping they weren't...

I took a good look at voltages after JFP in PA brought that up;

Supply voltage drops down from 13.6 to 12.5 as the engine warms up. These are both measurement's at idle. A/C and headlights are off.

When the engine finally did cut out, I had only the supply voltage log open and it cut off at 11.25v when the engine stopped, and was like that for a second before.

Going to research alternator/voltage regulator failure as well as call a mechanic and get a quote on replacing those camshaft timing chain wear pads.

I had 3-4 misfires but I assume that's from the camshaft being so out of spec.

Also wondering how out of spec the aftermarket fuel regulator is. It's got a screw thing on the top and isn't like any of the ones I've seen for this engine. I'm replacing it with a stock P one from pelican, just have to wait on shipping.



These mean anything? Bad ECU/DME? Just double checking, I can read that they say nothing is wrong :P
