Timing DTC codes after rebuild.
Ok, let me start with this. I did most of the rebuild other than the bottom end myself. I have experience with the timing chain and this is not the first time. but i know i can make mistakes. However, I am 99.99% sure that the timing chain was installed correctly as well as the vtc sprockets. The only reason i am not 100% sure now is because of these codes. The codes are below.
P0021 'A' Camshaft Position - Timing Over-Advanced or System Performance (Bank 2)
P0113 Intake Air Temperature Circuit High Input
P0300 Random/Multiple Cylinder Misfire Detected
I am going to re-do the timing chain, but my question is, are there ANY other things that could cause this? Bad camshaft sensors or VTC solenoids, or maybe even getting the spark plug wires mixed up?
I lined up the vtc sprocket chains on the circles on the RH bank and ovals on the LH bank with the gold links. (or whichever works out where the exh cam pin is at the top and small hole on int cam is at top) Also made sure that the crank was turned to #1 at TDC. and the red link was on the correct notch on the crank and the yellows were on the markers for the vtc sprockets.
The engine itself runs good other than idle. i was thinking maybe the MAF was bad or needed cleaning, but then i pulled these codes and found this. Could the bad idle (constantly wants to die, and if at 2-3k and let off throttle, it almost always dies) be a result of the timing being off? I figured it would run bad through all RPMs as well.
Thanks

From the FSM here si everything that could cause this code it's for the intake valve timing on bank 2 (driver side)
• Crankshaft position sensor (POS)
• Camshaft position sensor (PHASE)
• Intake valve control solenoid valve
• Accumulation of debris to the signal pick-up
portion of the camshaft
• Timing chain installation
• Foreign matter caught in the oil groove for intake
valve timing control
Eliminate the sensors since there isn't a code for those so chances are those are fine. They are easy to check though, so you may still want to to be on the safe side. More than likely the chain is off by 1 tooth.

Intake temps come from the MAF, so you at the very least have an electrical issue between the MAF and the ECU. That could be the same issue affecting other stuff... because it what you think things are is it. Loose ground, pinched/reversed harnesses, ect ect. Bank 2 is on the same side as the MAF harness BTW.

one thing i do know is my MAF tube has been laying in the garage exposed for the better part of a year. and I have not cleaned it. But please explain the VTC gear itself situation... I used another gear from another DE that I am replacing because the dowel pin fell out of the one I was using.

well i got this all put back together. no more leak thank goodness. idles really rough tho and still throwing the p0021 code for that came sensor, bank 2. Im guessing that sensor is bad and needs to be replaced.
