True, true, always jumping to the IMSB. For an 03, I suppose we should suspect the lifters. Does the 3.2 have the lifter problems the 2.7 has in the 03-04? Thanks for the clarifying questions.

The codes came from PIWIS.
The engine was running bad when I acquired the car.
Unknown how long the car had been sitting, but car was sold because of this problem.
I changed all spark plugs with new. Changed all coils with known good coils.
Car ran the same.
Codes were the same.
Old spark plugs had more oil than I'd like to see. However, no smoke out exhaust.
Runs bad at all RPM. Maybe less noticeable at higher RPM, but clearly not right.

How would I check if the camshaft adjustment is working properly? Have not checked cam deviation.

I suppose I could get a video of the engine running.

Thanks, Joe
