Timing is easy enough to check

Don't jump to any conclusions, it may be something simple

Not sure what else would throw a P0016.
Make sure all electrical connectors are seated before ripping into the engine. Did you call the rebuilder about this? If you did, what was their response?

they said they are 1000 percent sure it is not timing but said he would look at the build sheet and check the readings to wrote down.

Shows timing off but then shows cam and crank are in sync.

Alright pulled timing cover and found phaser has some slack when turning the motor over. Anybody seen something like this before? This is a brand new phaser from Mopar. Timing seems to be right. I can turn the motor over and sometimes phaser will not move but chain will. Not enough to jump a tooth tho.

Alright. lME sent me a brand new gear with limiter installed. I installed it today and teuck sounded great, even chopped. Killed it and wouldn’t start back up. Through the P0016 and both bank rich codes. Help throttle down all the way and got it to run and eventually ran on its own. When I go in gear it struggles to run, sometimes dies. I just don’t feel it’s timing related. Any ideas guys?
