Any Honda mechanics in the house!

2004 Honda Crv 2.0 litre petrol

Intermittent power drop out

No mil light because no bulb.

Plugged in a reader got the following.

Two codes
P 1259 reader said vtec system fault
And
P0341 camshaft position sensor


The first one is a common issue but I'm worried about the second and that it might need a new timing chain. Anybody know?

Thanks in advance,

LMAO @ no bulb!

Yeah I know. I can't belive I missed that. Been a wile since I bought a second hand car don't worry I've slapped myself. I really am annoyed.

Yeah the first code is pretty straight forward. I've filtered out most of the posts and git it down to what it probably is. There us just as much bad info as good out there in te subject.


It's the second code. In trying to woirk out if the vtec solenoid failure can somehow cause the second code. But the second code only seems to have to reasons.

Cam chain stretched expensive replacement or the sensor itself


Hmmm looks like it's an expensive job with lots of fault finding.

Interesting

Thing is it runs beautifully. It's so smooth and quiet at tickover I keep thinking is stalled.
