    Hoping to receive some insight on where to go from here. Originally thought that i overflowed my gas tank and was having some evap canister issue. Or my gas cap was bad(the easy fix i was hoping for)

    Unfortunately after a diagnostic scan I find 4 advanced crankshaft position codes and no evap code. I have P0011 P0016 P0018 and P0021. Internet search has me fearing my timing belt jumped a tooth or two. Just checked and at TDC my pullies are in alignment with the marks on the castings. Whew...

    So where should I go from here? Hate to just wing it and start throwing sensors at this issue.. but maybe thats where I am at :/

    Thanks for any insight.

    Also; Ive tried the battery disconnect and cleared the codes with a scanner and they came right back.

    I should note that the idle seems higher and i believe i notice a slight decrease in low end power. All these lights came on randomly on my drive home from work.
