It does. Depending on how it shifted it can drastically increase engine heat OR it can drastically increase exhaust temps (if it's the exhaust cam); If it's the intake cam it can cause the intake valves to close too soon, choking the engine; or it can close it too late allowing a pulse to disrupt the incoming airflow, again choking the engine but in a very different way.


And quit whining about not having a computer to plug into the car... we're all about Atari here boy!
