Looks like I’ll be re-timing my car. Something is definitely incorrect even though I don’t see codes. Boost levels are normal but I was 10mph and 5 seconds a lap slower yesterday than I was on similar (weather) days over the last three years. It stalled after it cooled down when I was putting it back on the hauler too. It must be an issue with how the procedure was done. I can’t think of anything else..

Id try to insert the timing pin, flywheel lock and the cam bar tool to see if its all in time prior to yanking the belt and TTY bolts. Document that it is off prior to having JST retime the motor so there is no pushback.

As I suspected the timing is off. The logs from this morning on cold start showed VCT-I Angle pinning at -41 sometimes. It was definitely off. They’re putting it back together and I’ll pick it up next week.

That’s what we did.
