so my cars check engine light came on and the car was sounding very poor and wasn’t responsive just felt like it was at half power. i do have the codes here-[https://streamable.com/ahpub](https://streamable.com/ahpub) and then you can hear the noise here (it’s not pretty) but if anyone has any idea what this could be please let me know [https://streamable.com/dr2yv](https://streamable.com/dr2yv) ---

That sounds like a stretched timing chain rubbing. That would explain all the misfire codes and the lack of power. Tester ---

That would be hard to say. I know it’s a Mustang, but what year and what engine? Tester ---

This timing set is for an engine with a balance shafts.
