Well 196,000km and Monera is not sounding too well.

Oh no sorry to hear that. It sounds like cam phasers as some people are mentioning. Bad timing...no pun intended lol!

I read a lot of forums on High idle, rough idle with lost of power.

Most likely the phazer took a crap.

Can I just buy those lock out ? and dont ever worry about this again? I don't even care for MPG.. ( if that what the purpose of the phazer is for)

Ol Paint did something similar earlier this year and it turned out to be the alternator and camshaft position sensors. What codes did you get when you scanned it?

No code at all.
it's weird / odd, I just checked the alternator. It's putting out 13.5v

You probably could buy the lock outs. Check out the video on the explanation of the Phazers knock etc...
Also check this link. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_Cam_Timing

Car starts bucking, missing, and losing power and you don't know what's causing it .....not sure I'm driving all the way home and potentially wrecking the engine.

I would suspect the timing control solenoids rather than the phasers themselves.

Well, brought it by Ricks.
Thank you again rick for taking me in so late.

does Rick have an idea on the cause?

It's had some concerning valve train noises on start up after oil changes for some time now. Hard to say if it's related or not until pulled down.
