last month our mechanic put a new timing chain, water pump and did a tune up, the car was running well when we took it in, afterwards it missed. We took it back and he kept it for a week and couldn't find the reason for the miss. It misses at all speeds, any ideas?

Engine running rough or misfiring can be cause by the following:
1.Defective spark plug.
2.Inadequate spark/coil,defective spark plug wire.
3.Lack of compression
4.False air leakage.
5.Faulty fuel injectors.
6.Insufficient fuel pressure.
7.Contaminated fuel.
8.EGR valve that is leaking.
9.Oxygen sensors.
