So when the vvt mechanism fails and the car is running on 4psi oil pressure, even low rpm will destroy then engine? :/

I have got a CEL twice now, P0351, so luckily a bad coil or sparkplug.

This makes me worried as an engine rebuild is not something you bargain on a car with just 30k miles.

ps. sorry for the off topic post.
I don't know what to think anymore man. You really shouldn't go on worried about failure just like you shouldn't worry about flying because of terrorists.

Yet, you read these forums and you hAve your own personal mishaps making it difficult to ignore the warning signs.

Boosting your cat significantly increases the risks. I wouldn't do that with earlier generation models.
