Replaced stretched timing chain now getting codes; p0008, p0016, p0017, p0300, p0301, p0303 and p0305. Hard start will not idle without foot on gas 2,000 to 3,000 rpm's.

Can you confirm what engine you have? You listed it was a 3.6L and a V6. Are you sure this isn't a 4.6L and a v8?

If it is correct then is this vehicle located outside the USA?

However, no matter what the engine is, your issue is most likely the engine is out of time on bank 1. I would suggest pulling it back down and setting the timing for that bank again and recheck the operation.

Let me know this info and we can get some detail about this vehicle assuming it is the 4.6L. If it is in fact a 3.6L then I suspect it is outside the USA which means we don't have a manual on that engine. Let me know and we can go from there. Thanks

I would like to please verify the model and year. The SRX didn't start production until 2004. However the 3.6 was the base engine in them at that time.
