So my smoot running 00 'Tour decides to see if it can be any slower than an old VW Beetle, and manages to suceed throwing an 1383 code.
I take the valve cover off and inspect the timing belt, the engine is still in time according to the all the timing marks I see (flat plate in the back of the cam lines up like it supposed to). I put a wrench on the cam and rotate it and it does rotate but is it supposed to spring back or does it stay put? It was tossing a 1380, now it's just tossing a 1383. my scantool says that it's running 27 degrees retard on the exhaust cam.
This is my first car with a timing belt/DOHC setup, I'm used to pushrods and a single cam to run the whole thing.
Thanks!
