Before starting let me add some context of recent repairs: Thre weeks ago had the timing belt, a tensioner and hydraulic adjuster combo, a lower idling bearing, two upper idling pulleys, two cam seals, a crank front seal, a water pump, ect sensor, and thermo all installed on my car. Before getting the timing belt kit replaced I had what sounded to be a occasional engine knock but it stopped after my car got out of the garage. I’ve had the p0032 code since I’ve gotten the vehicle and the past owner told me he’s had a couple installed and they’ve all gone bad fairly quickly. For the past couple weeks my car has had a high-idle RPM (around 1,100-1,400 RPM) and has been fairly noisy. The other day it had very little acceleration and just wouldn’t want to move. When I would have to stop, the car started to stall and after the third or fourth stall the engine wouldn’t start. I checked the codes and saw that I had a p0340 and a p0341 code. I replaced the cam sensor but after I installed it the car did the same thing, a slow crank but no start with an odd sound (the video included). I was told it can’t be a spun bearing cause the car would still start and if it was a thrown rod I would have definitely been able to hear it along with it would have sent oil everywhere. I got it towed home and pulled the dipstick and saw metal in the oil but i’m not sure if that was from the engine knock I thought I was hearing before the timing belt kit cause I haven’t had an oil change since. My next steps are to check for spark and search for vacuum leaks but I need another opinion on the situation.
