The 2009 Toyota Sienna comes with a factory-installed timing chain designed to last the life of the vehicle. However, issues like wear and tear or a faulty timing chain tensioner can lead to problems. Over time, the timing chain may stretch or warp, causing rough running, hesitations, or stalling. Sometimes, a slapping noise may be heard when starting the engine cold, which can be mistaken for a lifter ticking. Replacing the timing chain is estimated to cost around $250 to $300 on average, but the final cost will depend on the labor involved in removing and installing the components.
