Drive the car for awhile to see if this makes the code disappear. If not, then opening up the front of the engine to check the timing. If nothing then, they would replace the ECM.

Does this sound correct? It's a bloody expensive endeavor and it'd be out of pocket as I'm being told my car is out of warranty due to mileage.

Am I wrong to assume this is not mechanical since my car seems to be idling and running perfectly smooth?

Lastly, if I choose to DIY the fix, or take it elsewhere, what should I have done to the car?

Thanks!
