Description of the problem	Engine started hard in driveway and lacked performance when starting down the street. Hoped it was a possible damp condition that morning as it never happened before and i continued off for work. After nearing work, it did not correct itself so when i got to work i took the day off to get it to the dealer. Upon restarting it was the same however at the first stop it stalled and would not restart. Kept trying for 10 min and if finally started and i drove it to the dealer. After a couple days the dealer stated it needed a new engine as the timing was off by 4 degrees. This condition made the car extremely dangerous for lack of power and others passing but i never dreamed it would need the engine replaced.
