Hey guys,its been 7k since my timing belt replacement. Im coming home from work today,and my car lost almost all power while riding with the cruise on at 65. I was fortunate enough to get the car home without hurting it............I hope anyway. As i pulled into the driveway the mil lamp illuminated. Normally i get a smile when this happens because it usually makes things easier to diagnose than those weird "shot in the dark" guessing games. Well code 13 appeared. Ive been here before,cam sensor 2 drivers side. So i ohmed out the sensor. It was in spec. I also started the car and disconnected the sensor while running. The sound of the engine changes. So id have to say-yes it is functioning correctly. The last time I had this code was after the lexus tech did my timing belt and I had to go back in and fix it. The car was off 1 tooth,after that the car ran fine. So 7k miles later same code and car has no power and idles rough, Could this thing have jumped timing? I really fiind that hard to believe,but im open to suggestions. Anyone?

The tensioner was replaced.I just got home and checked my marks and they are dead on. I guess my next step is to remove the cam sensor and take a look at it. Maybe even though unhooking it changed the rythm,their is still a problem with it. Well ill keep you guys posted,but im stumped for now
