7m-ge motor problem w/vid

[Lienhop Photo]

I have no idea what is wrong. It runs but god is it rough. I dont know if it is a dealing with the oil or something else. It makes the sound hurd in video but it is the timing belt i believe and it is something othe than that as well. idk if you can hear it but if someon has some advice please let me know.
It can barely build rpms and it shakes a whole lot

I can't see the video but sounds like cam timing. What have you done to it lately? Did it just happen out of the blue?

could be cam timing... could be coil pack failure... injector problem?

when is the last time the plugs/wires/cap/rotor have been replaced?

fuel filter?

i'd start with the simple stuff...

2nd.. how many miles does the car have on it? stock timing belt/tensioner?

its fairly easy to check cam timing.... so check that... then if its been a while since its had a good tune up... id suggest starting there since its your cheapest option...

any CEL?

1st Stop running your engine like that until you get it figured out. Start here.

Simple stuff. Make sure all obvious stuff is in place. Mass air flow plugged in, vacuum pressure normal, plug wires matched right.

Check your engine codes. Here's how.
1. Take a paper clip
2. Open the "Diagnostics" box (Really small located near the battery)
3. Jump terminals "E1" and "TE1"
4. Turn key to "IGN"
5. Watch the blinking (- - - - - (pause) - is a code 51)
6. Research the code and how to solve the problem

Next check your timing. Here's the simplest way to check.

1. Put transmission in neutral, with the parking brake all the way up
2. Take the crank pulley bolt and turn it clockwise until the mark on the crank matches up with the "0" mark
3. Remove the timing cover
4. See if the "l" Matchmark is aligned with the "l" matchmark above it.
5. If not remove timing belt by loosening belt tensioner and moving cam gears to align with the mark.
6. Re-install the timing belt and cover

If none of these work check your fuel pressure. Might be a clog in the filter

Any details on what happened? Have you done anything to it lately, did anyone else drive it or work on it? It looks and sounds like bad timing to me but you haven't given us any background.

motor is 250k miles timing was staring to get bad then it stopped running right. Burnt a lot of oil and then it just stopped friving. yea it was driven but not after that started
a friend said it ma be coil pack. I will do a tune up on sat and c what can be done after that

I looked at the box, it has guky shit in it. When I clean it out I will try. Also I dont have a TE1 its TEM?

The junk is grease to protect it from corrosion, it has to have that jumper, double check it

 

[Lienhop Photo]

o well I dont have a TE1

I hooked it to the T instead since reaseach tells me to and I got nothing. What am I doing wrong?

 

[Lienhop Photo]

still not doing it. Check engine light is on now wthout clip hooked up. Could it be that the hood is off?

 

[airhead04]

The hood wont cause the cel light to trip. Did you check the timing?
I hope you didnt clean the grease off that connector. It prevents corrosion.

no i didnt i was looking at th wrong thing lol its fine. i ran the test and it stayed constant

I will check timing belt tomorrow. Maybe timing is bad. I mean it doesnt really have signs of BHG so lets check timing
