HELP! Lost all power in engine. Timing chain?
94 22re 2wd
Replaced timing chain 6000 miles ago. Head gasket 3000 miles ago.
Was driving home from work and got about 2 miles from the house when all the sudden I lost all engine power. wouldn't start at first but then i got it to start but sounds super clunky. was thinking timing chain so i didnt want to try and run it with the clunkyness happening so as not to break things. where should i start to naroow it down. like i said the first thing that comes to mind is timing chain slipping teeth, but i an intermediate level mechanic so help is much appreciated.

Pull the valve cover and take a look at your chain. If it is still running, I don't think it is your chain but that would be the quickest thing to see if anything is messed up. The clunky sound could be a rocker out of adjustment. With the cover off you should be able to get a quick visual on several things.

to say it is "running" is a little much. it turns over when i crank it and begins to run but it is so clunky sounding i hesitate to give it gas and throw a rod. it sounds like it is trying to "run" at like 100 rpms or something.

HAHAHAHA. Im sorry guys! I figured it out. Feel really dumb. I was out of gas... Don't chug 3 beers after work when your tank is on E and you really want to get home...

We all make mistakes. I found out that you have to have the computer connected for a truck to run, coil wire hooked up for ignition, AFM wiring connected for the air system. I am sure there are few other things I have learned as well the hard way. Congrats on getting things figured out.

This is kinda funny. We could have come up with some wild but educated reasons for this sudden "failure". I wonder how long it would take for some of us "genius's" to guess that you were out of gas.
