Hi everyone,

I’ve got an Audi 2l tfsi EA888 gen 1 engine and the notorious timing chain tensioner went and it skipped timing and bent all the intake valves. I’ve now replaced all the valves, timing chain and tensioner and iall the things that go along with that and t’s back together.

When I start it, it runs great for 30 seconds but once cold start is over the car just shuts off with no nasty noises. I then start it again and it runs like absolute crap and will barely idle but no funny internal knocking noises. I had a code for cam crank correlation but I know the timing is good because I just replaced the timing chain and tensioner.

I am now going to replace the crank and cam position sensors as I understand this could be the cause of my running issue.

What does everyone think? Thanks in advance.
