The broken exhaust valve spring is the cause of the driveability fault. Keep in mind that a broken spring can present intermittent faults or faults that only occur under certain operating conditions. It’s important to realize that a broken spring can still allow a perfectly passing compression test (or relative compression test) but fail a running test miserably.

Figure 1: A correlation of the CKP sensor signal to that of the CMP sensor(s) signals can be a great way of inferring camshaft timing. Keeping in mind the limitations of the test, it only truly reflects the timing of the reluctors. If they have lost their reference from their respective shafts, the timing will not be on.
