That's most likely a DOHC 2.0 VIN#3. That requires special tools to time it correctly and cannot be done without them or it will cause a repeating PO340 code and barely run.

What do you want me to say? The motor is original. You can buy an Alldata online subscription for one vehicle very inexpensively. Www. Alldata. Com
