Turn the engine so number 1 is in firing position, and see where the rotor on the distributor is pointing.
I'll check this out but wondering would this only cause issues while cold

11 Timing belt skipped 1 tooth or more from initial learned value, Intermittent loss of either camshaft or crankshaft position sensor, No crank reference signal detected during engine cranking

it never hurt to check the timing but i doubt it has skip a tooth with only 90k miles on the clock. i would guess your issue may be with the code 54. probably best to try resetting the computer first to clear the codes so the computer can relearn with the new sensors in place

a ticking could be an exhaust leak.

Itd from the front of the engine probably timing chain what kills me is that she wants to live and be driven no matter how long it takes she will run
