last Sunday coming home from Ohio my car started knocking and as i drove home when i stopped it kept stalling and idling weird, so i tore it apart found my balance shaft belt broke to tore the front case off and oil pan found a bearing from rear balance shaft so i deleted it and left the belt off of the front one which bearing where bad in it too, i replaced timing belt and started it at first when started it idles find there are no noises from engine then next it starts idling like it has heavy cams in then after i drive it for a while and get it warm it want to idle so low that in drive it stalls but neutral it just idle low
 
I'm a tooth off at the crank timing wise, and my car sounds cam'd, but it definitely still has the stock cams.
 
Did you check your main\rod bearings.When I lost the balance shaft I deleted them and supn a bearing about a week later. Didnt think that the oil loss hurt the crank but it did.
 
i am not throwing any codes and i checked my rod bearings while it was apart the where all tight and looked good would a rod bearing even make my car idle like crap? it has no noise at all not even lifter tick

ill recheck the timing again today but i am 99% sure it is right on i checked it several times
