I replaced a timing belt on a 2005 Chrysler 300 limited with a 3.5.. car was running fine but the belt broke. Now after replacing the belt, cars running real rough and seems to have no power. Double checked the timing and its correct. Is this an interference engine or what could be causing this?

As a former Audi technician, I can pretty much guarantee the coil packs are your problem.

if poor performance was noticed right off the bat, the timing belt is not timed properly. this will cause lack of power, rough idle, pre ignition(little noisey), and rich exhaust.youre going to need to first, find a friend or someone whom you trust to do your automotive work.second youre going to need to start over by tearing it all down systematically and taking note of anything done wrong. third find reliable information on the timing marks for this vehicle. i hope for your sake nothing is broken. let me know how this turns out, ill be happy to help further if you need.

The only thing left is the injector or a vacuum leak on the manifold gasket sucking air in and causing a lean condition. Thats is its the only common issue providing you dont have a head gasket issue leaking coolant on that cylinder and the compression and valves are not leaking. The old spark plug should show a coolant issue if present. The white part will be shiney if you have a coolant loss. If the coolant is looking real dark you should have the cooling system checked for gas being pushed into the cooling system on compression stroke thru the head gasket.

Heat up the exhaust pipe to egr with torch and spray with knockitloose or wd40 when not hot. Then remove that pipe. Then remove vacuum hose and the 2 bolts that hold it on.

Follow your owners manaul, it has all the services needed according to mileage, of course if you havent been following the book, it doesnt do much good, and you are overdue for Coolant, Trans fluid/ filter, belts, filters, ect. Your car should have a timing chain.
