As @Kirkman noted, is the engine ever running rough/making noises?

It did eventually start running rough and that is when the CEL, PSM, and Chassis lights all came and stayed on permanently. I took it to my indy and thankfully it wasnt the chain. Turns out it was the camshaft solenoid and a tensioner on its' way out. While still pricey, saved at minimum a few thousand not having to do the chain.
