Unhappy Oh-Oh's, I Think I Broke It!

Hopefully some of the electronics and mechanic gurus might have a better idea of what is going on but ill post a couple of bullet points on what is going on with my car.

Feb 1-3 2013
- FEB 1-3 i got a CEL and the car went into limp mode on the second track day. The codes i got were: P219A Bank 1 Air/Fuel Ratio Inbalance, P000A Intake (a) Camshaft Position Sensor Slow Response Bank 1, P0011 Intake (a) Camshaft Position Timing - Over Advanced (Bank1)
I cleared the codes to see if they would pop up again and they did not, i continued for another day and no problems what so ever the car ran fine.

Feb 23 2013

1st Session
-Yesterday after 5 laps i lost power on the straight for a second or two and my check engine light flashed twice but went away, i kept driving and it did not do it again.

2nd Session
-Next session as i turned the car on it puffed a huge cloud of white smoke but it went away and stopped smoking, as i pulled out of the grid it puffed a cloud of smoke again according to a friend. As i came back my belt started whining but then went away after a couple of seconds.

3rd Session
-No smoke this time but i lost power on the same straight as session #1 but this time my car lost almost all power and sounded like it was misfiring and sounded like a boxer engine. I pulled up with my dash looking like a christmas tree and the car struggled to idle, i immediately turned her off and checked the codes i got P0011 Intake (a) Camshaft Position Timing - Over Advanced, and cylinder 2 misfire. I thought it might be an electronic glitch like at Cota but i cleared the codes and the car would not turn on.

Anybody have a clue what could be wrong?

Sounds like my jeep liberty. When it had a stuck lifter and the rocker arms fell off.

Of course he did.

At this stage there is zero chance of blaming on bad OEM ECU. It went to zero right after you flashed it.

Gotta pay for play.

I hate to say it, but I think your pulley may have done some damage. Be sure to swap it back out if your going to try for warranty.

I might also test coil packs just to be sure on the misfire code. Its freaking weird on a car with 4k miles.



Here she is sitting all sad on that cold trailer
