i just bought it was told it needs bottom end however it has good compression head is in great shape and i have a code for fuel system fault engine chugs real loud and misfires like crazy has no power at all will not drive at all has very heavy fuel smell from tail pipe and def pops out the intake it is making a ton of noise also not sure if its related or not but alternator is putting out almost 17 volts any help is greatly appreciated

 

anybody??? any help is greatly appreciated head is crystal clean no metal in oil. timing seems like it is completely retarded but i dont see any timing marks anywhere.. starts perfect but has rediculous misfire and makes a **** load of noise from the front part of engine thinking its a detonation knock... has a code for the leak detection pump could this cause that? also how do i test the synchronizer? the coil? also has very heavy unburnt fuel smell

 

Welcome to CF.
I'd do a compression test to check for any stuck/damaged valves, possible valvetrain issues, or possible head/piston damage in a combustion chamber. JMO

 

Already did all cylinders 175-180

 

Timing sensor. Good place to start.

 

You know timing is off, its popping through intake, making a horrable noise from the front.... Probably gonna be a timing chain, guide broke or something. how many miles on it? And does it only make the "noise" under load, or at idle also? Chain will sound like a slapping noise.
