Before I begin operating, I'd like to have some input from the senior surgeons on a possible diagnosis.
The symptoms:
1) a sporadic bump or burp in the engine (sucks a dollar back up at the tailpipe) no ticking or ratteling noise at the engine, sometimes about 1 sec after WOT the car falls on its face for a second or so then pick back up. No smoke or other symptoms of bad HG's or leaky valve seals.
I've been told it might be a bent or burnt valve. But wouldn't that cause a constant bumping and not sporaddical bumps?
Other ideas:
Timing chain is stretched
Cam sensor malfunction
Faulty wiring somewhere
Would a code reader be able to help in this situation?
Your input is vital gentlemen. The very life of this car is hanging in the balance? (I.E. I don't have the time or money to do it again)
Thanks,
Dr. Donethisbeforeonlyonceanddontwanttobotchthisup
