My son's 4runner- 2007 Sport 4.0 shut off running up the highway. It just surged and shut down amd wouldn't restart. Since we couldn't see a crank signal, we replaced the crank sensor. Now the engine will start but struggles to start and won't stay running. It is obvious a timing issue. I am assuming it jumped time. I am going to tear it down and verify the timing however before installing a new timing set and doing all the extra work, what are the odds that it caused engine damage? I know it's an interference motor but just trying to put together my options. It has 158k Iles on it. We have only had it for 15k so I am uncertain of previous maintenance but I don't suspect oil was changed as often I would have liked due to the VVT solenoid I replaces right after purchase that was pretty sludged up and stuck. Any advice appreciated.
