95 3 L running hot, crazy codes, TPS,PIP,SPOUT, have changed out PIP (whole dist) TPS, Both computers, cap / rotor, wires, plugs. Seems like I had this happen once before. There was an inch+ slack on both sides of the timing chain, but not quite enough to actually jump a tooth. It whacks out the computer trying to keep up up with the timing. does this sound plausible? Anybody else out there do this ?
 












Same codes yes, and no havnt done that yet. I have run a balance test and Im coming up with issues on #3 & #1 , could be mechanical. Which do you think I should do next scrutinize the wiring or do a compression check ?
