sorry, i didnt get that last reply, wasnt emailed to me.... na, dont know anyone can swap with, but i'm a pretty good ebayer, i can probobly grab one for like 10 bucks or somethin. Went to autozone tonight, had them read the code off the talon, it came up a code 300, multiple cylinder misfire. Thinking about it, can a timing belt cause this, or if it's out of timing?? I know when i got it the timing belt cover was missing, and when i changed the valve cover gasket it had different colored gaskets in it and different bolts, meaning someones obviously been in the engine before, i'm woundering if the timing is off??? I know this much, it idles like crap, but revs fine, stalls out when come to stop or turn on something, drives fine when accelerated, but periodicly blows a big cloud of dark grey smoke out the exhaust (when it does it, you can tell without looking in the rear view because you'll press the gass and it sounds odd {like the exhaust is clogged) and lots of dark grey smoke in rear view). it goes away if you let off the gas and take it easy for a second, Does this sound like the symtoms of someone offsetting the timing belt when they put it back on?? or more of an ECU problem?? Thanks thompson, really appreciate it. Eric
