Hi there. The valve timing controls are pressurized and operated electronically and engine oil pressure. First perform an oil change with a new filter to ensure a good clean engine. If the timing is still not right and the engine is still not starting, then I recommend replacing the valve timing solenoids on the engine. If you need further assistance with your engine stalling, then seek out a professional, such as one from Your Mechanic, to help you.
