Message	I've posted a couple questions and the answers have been very helpful so hopefully I can get some more advice here. I've been searching but the key words keep bringing up different issues. What would happen if the crank sprocket (one at the bottom) was off a tooth or two? I'm sure that the 4 marks up top were fine, but I never checked the bottom sprocket. The car will crank up and idle really rough(sometimes it will stay running, other times it will cut off). I've ran codes and came back with 55. Before tearing it all the way back down to check all the marks I'm going to clean all the connectors and check the secondary timing. If I check the secondary timing and it is way off could that in turn mean I was a tooth off(or more)? Thanks for any input.
