Hello all had a bit of a nightmare recently having had the dreaded P0341 code come up on my 2003 2.4 type s then having the timing chain slip on me not long after as the plunger was fully out and no tension in the chain at all thankfully never damaged anything, and after being stung a grand later I was hoping the problems would be no more.... but over the weekend the engine light come on just after I pulled away from the house car still cold, okay so went and got it checked out and now I have a P1259 vtec system malfunction, had the light turned off hoping it was a blip in the system but no it come on again last night but this time the engine was warm but being driven sensibly... So from what I've found out is that it could be oil pressure switch or the solenoid gone wrong. There's been no loss of power from what I've noticed bah once light come on last night vtec didnt kick in, turned it on and off engine light stayed on but vtec worked again... would I be swaying towards getting a new oil pressure switch or is it just safer to get the solenoid also? How easy is it to do and get too?
Also forgot to mention oil change was done when cam chain was done. Oil level is still good. But... this time I had fully synthetic put in where as I've always put semi synthetic in would this also cause a problem?
