Ok you have a bunch of codes. Take it to a mechanic.

 

woahhh. lot a codes but dont worry one thing wrong could cause all these to come as a snow balll effect. take her to a mechanic, the only thing I see that should be a little concern is the VVTI bank 1.

p1349 and po120 are where your problem is. Do not drive the car. I'm thinking you need to have your timing checked and most likely have a throttle body issue. You may be better off just getting a used one but see what a mechanic says. Or get on my.is and start a thread so Jason can give you more info

 

Reset the codes, and then wait for the CEL to come back again. Then, post the first code that comes up. Obviously all of the codes you have right now are not accurate, when one cel comes up it can lead to other readings to be false which ends up giving you multiple codes.

 

Its gonna blow!!

 

Alright thanks guys.. I gonna have to take her in.. Shes in a no-good situation right now.

 

Don't forget too report back on what the problem is...I have an 01' and want to know just incase this happens to my girl. Good luck bud, hope its nothing major.

 

Funny I just removed my throttle body for an upgrade. Let me know if you end up needing one

 

um fyi if you still need help i have an account to whats called identifix its a program my shop uses to diagnose issues like this I believe dsouthmia0 is right on the tb but it may or may not be your timing belt skipping lemme know if you havent gotten it fixed man i will look it up
