Pass side, bank 1. P1340 I think is the code, been a week since I checked.

Bad idle, constant misfire.

I can activate bank 2 cam and the car stumbles at idle like it should. Activating bank 1 cam the car will either die or sometimes stumble. Only thing I have fixed/replaced is the cam tensioner pads & the actuator. I have no doubt the pads need replacing, the car has 109k miles on it so it's time. Would rather do it myself but time & space are an issue, plus the SO wants to be able to use her car (doesn't know I might sell it)
