Any chance the timing chain skipped some teeth when the IP was out of the car?

If you do have a bad pod (Climate Control Actuator), you can replace the entire
unit or just get the internal rubber diaphragms from Geo. Murphy. Some pods
have one diaphragm and others have two - the number you need is obvious once
