HELP!!! 03 maxima sounds like an 83 diesel mercedes!

noticed when the car sits for days at a time when i crank it back up i get some funky stuff going on.

2 codes being thrown are p0011 and p03061, which i see the latter is a misfire in #6.

i took it for a drive and couldn't get past 25-30mph im guessing due to the misfire.

here's a vid after it warmed up and after the drive

When my Alternator was going bad it sounded exactly like that,i used a really long screw driver to check where the sound was coming from,and it was the alternator.

would that make the car feel like it was neutered and have a lot of power loss?

exhaust leak would

the code is for IVT control, maybe you skipped a tooth on the timing gear, that would definitely get you poor power as well

im sure you havent. Its not exposed like on some other engines. The chain can skip a tooth if the tensioner loses oil pressure or if the chain guide wears out and the tensioner cant keep enough tension in the chain
