PM and let’s check part numbers.
I’ve got a used one from ebay that’s supposed to arrive tomorrow. I appreciate the offer though, there’s some good people on this forum.

Let us know if you find them.

Bad part or the cam belt has slipped out if time.

Is it much of a pain to check the timing? I’m familiar with how it works but I’ve never had this car apart.

Checked timing today, it’s spot on. Thankfully the dealership who last did the timing belt made super obvious marks.

That leaves a potential electrical issue assuming both parts are good.
