Do you have a solid check engine light?

Definitely compression check and also check timing. Might have jumped a tooth.

Regardless, do those two tests.

Limp mode. Pull the CEL codes.

No check engine light on

Now I'm confused haha lets get things straightened out before we go any further. Step one, CEL = Check Engine Light. Step two, the link is in Ron's signature. See where it says "don't guess, troubleshoot" in green? And right under there is says useful tech links,the codes one is what he's talking about. If your CEL light is not on, there are no codes. He's saying make sure it works. Does the CEL light turn on for 2-3 seconds then off when the key is turned right before start up, ON(II)? If so, it is apparently working.
OK, continue!
