The missing tooth will be of no consequence as the rest ot the teeth in contact with the chain will always be correct
code p 0306 refers to cylinder 6 misfire detected ====causes ---engine mechanical fault ( could be a loose valve seat insert)---wiring---ignition/ fuel system---injector (blocked tip position it somewhere else and see if the fault moves to the new position)--- ECT/MAF sensor ---ECM
a timing chain problem will not show as a particular cylinder as it drives for all cylinders

Sensors. Start checking the related sensors to your trouble codes. Most likely on of the primary sensors. Oxygen, Intake, Exhaust.

SOURCE: vehicle came in for check

A misfire at idle that smooths out at cruise is ALMOST ALWAYS caused by a vacuum leak. Take a hard look at your fuel trims at idle. If the Bank 2 Long Term Fuel Trim is more than + a couple points higher than the Bank 1 trim, your problem is most likely a vacuum leak. If the Fuel Trims even-out while holding the engine at 2000 RPM for about 20 seconds, then a vacuum leak is DEFINITELY your problem. I would suspect a leaking lower intake gasket leak because an upper plenum leak will normally affect all cylinders.

P0303 cylinder 3 misfire

If # 3 cylinder has spark at the plug it must fire if the following conditions apply. Injector is supplying fuel to the cylinder. and cylinder compression tests OK . So check above ,one or both must be at fault.

Check engine light, on and running rough

This misfire is most likely due to bad injectors. Check injector pulse with a NOID light. If pulse is good you need new injectors. However before you do all of this get a compression guage and check compression on all cylinders. The numbers shouldn't be more than 10 psi difference in all cylinders for example if cylinder# 1= 160 psi cyl#2=168 that's good but if cylinder#3= 176 and 4=179 there is a problem with 1&2. bad valves or bad head hasket etc. Good luck and thanks for using FIX YA.

2003 Chevy Venture misfiring

The injector is a good possibility, although you should check for spark in the wire first, as the electrical is the weakest link in the system. Put a spare plug in the end of the wire with the plug resting on metal, then have someone crank the van to see if you have spark that far, test and replace spark plug, (do not get shocked!) then look into a new injector or a good cleaning.
