SOURCE: rough idle , car run good after 1000 rpm ,did a
so by the timing chain issue , you have a 2.7l v6, was it rough idle before the chain replacement, if no than your chains are out of time by 1 or 2 teeth, on cam gears, this is a delicate motor on timing, of course a compression test would a have been first to do before any teardown. GOOD LUCK RDJRP
SOURCE: timing chain guide broke..jumped time and broke middle gear.
remove the #1 sparkplug place a long screwdriver in the sparkplug hole point touching the top of the piston turn the crankshaft around until the screwdriver is almost pushed out (top dead center)
check to see that the distributor rotor is pointing at the #1 sparkplug wire it must be; if not: turn the crankshaft again until it does
then turn the camshaft around until both valves above the #1 piston cylinder are closed
this is correct; now find the marks on the belt camshaft sprocket gear and, crankshaft gear aline the belt marks with the gear marks and, install the belt
