A rattle from the timing chain, a check engine light or rough running can mean the chain, sprockets or tensioner are worn, though a faulty crankshaft or camshaft position sensor can be behind the same signs, so find the cause first. To keep the whole timing system sound, all the timing components are replaced together.
