it's your cam/cranks sensor correlation assuming you got the cam timing correct from crank replacement then a mechanic h as to do it with his scanner.

Thanks for your responses. Could it be that the cam/crank sensor is bad, assuming the timing chain is well fixed after the crank replacement? how do i know that the chain is not well fixed? What are the other possible effects of the crank correlation effects to the car? Can a mechanic uses his scan to fix up the crank correlation faults?

the only way this will get fixed is to have a mechanic put it back in relation to crank sensor. it does not mean any sensor is bad it just means that it is like an older car out of time which it takes a pro scanner to fix this.

Hello,

Chances are the crankshaft is out of time with the camshaft.
