Hello all, I had a pretty bad scare with the SHO today. I went WOT and lost almost all power, the a/c cut out, and I was left with a slow blinking CEL and whenever I would press the gas the whole car would shudder and the rpm’s would refuse to climb. I pulled over, shut the car off, restarted it and checked for leaks, and now it runs fine. I have had an intermittent P0016 code since March when I got the car, and I’ve been saving money for the timing job I plan to DIY. However I’m having some confusion on the phasers. The parts list that comes up from Billy vk has some phasers listed by part number BA5Z-6A257-E, but there is also BA5Z-6A257-D, and BA5Z-6A257-C on parts websites that all say they will fit. Do I need to get C,D, and E? Or a combination based on the year? I am confused and wanting to save this car before the chain slips timing and I destroy the valves. Any help would be much appreciated as I want to do this job right and am only going to buy OEM parts. Just need to know which ones. Car is a 2013 non PP with 123,000 miles (purchased with 114,000) and have done rear brakes, PTU fluid, spark plugs, air filters, and I am also going to be cleaning out the intercooler as I know that can be a cause of shuddering and CEL’s. I have not ran the codes yet but all I have had since day 1 is the P0016.
