Question about timing chain!

If a timing chain wasnt put on correctly or was a tooth off, what kinda problems would that cause?

Probably poor starting (if it will start), poor idle and no power. Might depend on which direction it was off a tooth.

Sometimes I do have starting issues. Sometimes I dont. I do have some idle issues especially with the AC on! The car seems to run fine from point a to point b, but there really isnt any power gain after my cam swap. The car seems to feel like its misfiring also. Could these symptoms be from a timing chain not being installed correctly?

Like shoebox said the car most likely would not start.

Theres a good possibility it would still run just be losing alot of power.

from your past posts you said your care ran fine just down on power. the car would run really ****ty if it ran at all. maybe your car didn't react well to this cam. Every car reacts different to mods.
