Timing Chain Update! well i pulled everything today the water pump, and distributor......well when i took the distributor off i heard a bunch of loose stuff inside of it i haven taken it apart but it sounds really bad so i am pretty sure thats the problem......that would explain the grinding noise that came and went from time to time. i will post pics soon. thanks to everyone that gave me insight.

99k miles would seem like an opti to me, I would start there, you should be able to get an opti for around $210 or so from Jason Cromer.... I really doubt its the timing chain, since it would not run at all if the chain broke
