Changed all the injectors (170,000 miles).
Its better, but still stalls from time to time but I think it has to be an idle control issue rather than a timing or engine issue? I think I am right in saying the base idle is set until 1200-1400rpm when the cam phasers begin to tension up and adjust the cam shaft position?
I will try re-setting the throttle/ECU set up by disconnecting the battery again?

My reluctor ring was in good shape although the chain tensioners had failed, I changed it all fairly soon after the ticking started.
I have picked up one or two codes since doing the engine work about 2 months ago but they are varied and inconsistent.

Is it possible for a bad cam or crank sensor to cause the issues you are seeing? What are the engine codes you have gotten?

I dont believe so. Check engine light was on when I "drove" it like that if you could say it was driving. Codes were P0345 and P0340, never got a chance to rerun to see if any other codes popped up before I took it to the shop.
