Re: Lost some Juice

I changed the fuel filter again about 1000 miles ago. I run Mobil 1 sythetic and am good about keeping it fresh. It's got new plugs, cap and rotor.. but not wires. It's got 50k+ on it and the tranny and differiential fluid have probably never been changed, at least not since I've had it for the last 30k. Blender, I'd bet you that it is my timing chain. I used to think that and then I'd just change my mind and think "nah, I'm stupid. Shouldn't be the chain with only 50k on it." Thats really what it feels like though, thought it might have gotten like a tooth off or something... What do chains and sprockets cost and are they too difficult to change out?

Edit: I've also got that TSB vibration crap. On light throttle (really really light) it vibrates through the accelerator pedal. It indeed sounds (and its loud) like a chain draggin on something. I think the TSB for that calls for a new timing chain tensioner or something. Anyone have any better info on that TSB?

Sorry to threadjack.
