Have you cleaned ALL the grounds? Have you checked all the possible electrical connectors for pushed out/bent pins? Have you checked all fuses? Have you connected a scan tool to see what the timing is actually doing? The stepper motor costs $150+.I'd want to be positive that it is the problem before replacing.

Well i got the truck about 2 months ago from a diesel shop that i know the owner. they replaced the timing belt and ran the scanner on it and said everything looked good. The ECT sensor went out and i replaced that and now its throwing the code at idle and barely starting.
