As you told i decided to take it another shop for trobleshooting.

I asked my regular mechanic but he suggested to take it to dealer as he dont have proper eqiupments to check, & will have quicker trobleshooting of problem.

Dealer have look & identified its timing chain problem, Timing sleeps atleast 8-10 teeths which is causing trouble. It might be the reason for low compression pressure in three cylenders. The firest 3 cylender giving 50 60 & 50 readings. Dealer give me estimate of appx 2000$ including Parts & labour to fix timing issue, which i think too much for timing problem. He also told me they not sure if its further damage to engine then new engine will cost me 5500$ + Tax, i not even buy my car to that cost....

I am thinking to taking to god mechanic to fix timing issue, if you can tell me how much it should cost ? I check parts cost in Advanced auto parts it will cost max 70-80 $...

Pl suggest

Thanks
