Oh man, sorry to hear that =\ Was there a unrecalled flaw with the 2.8's or something?

 

Cam Chain Tensioner.

Mine was replaced under warranty by the dealer.

 

mine is a 1.8

 

when i get the timing belt doneill have the guy check everything out. im guessing its the timing belt slipping because its only on morning start ups after the car hasnt been driven in a why. i know slipping happens with an old timing belt on first start ups.
