I have a 2001 chevy venture. A cpl of months ago, it decided to stop working. It sounds like the timing is off. Just before it died (for 1/2 a mile), it would go about 10mph and sounded like a lawnmower. Now, when I crank it, it sputters and jumps. Loping might be a good word to use. It sounds like it wants to stall out. Do you think I have a timing chain issue, or something in the "other" category.
