Re: P0008

Unfortunatly the problem is most likely mechanical. Either a problem with the chain and/or tensioners. Or the reluctor wheel on the crankshaft has moved. This particular code will not be set by a cam actuator or solenoid and is designed specificaly to keep an eye on the timing chain itself buy monitoring all the cams for timing issues. If reluctor on the crank has moved, the crank will need to be replaced. Inspection of the crankshaft reluctor wheel usually means dropping the pan, but them you need to know what to look for. A bore scope can also be used, if there is one handy. I'd recomend taking to a dealer and spending the diagnosis time to find out for sure.
