Hi, I have a 2006 Toyota Avalon with 179k miles, it was running a bit rough for a day or two, randomly revved up to around 4000 rpms when accelerating from around 10mph to 50mph which is unusual for my car, and then the check engine light came on.
Pulled out the OBDII scanner, reads code P1035. I've checked everything I can find on google about the code, but there's minimal information, my friend and I think it could be the VVT solenoid intake on bank 1, but that's from a website calling the code "generic" and I don't want to throw a $140 part at the issue without consulting first, I need to drive around 600 miles on January 5th and I'd like to use the weekend to see if I can figure out the issue before I can call a mechanic monday.
Has anyone encountered this code on a toyota or knows what it's corresponding to?
Well crazy enough if your oil is dirty dirty oil can trip that as the valve system won't work right if it's clogged up. But if not that it can be anything from a soul and I to very expensive internal motor repairs if it comes back all the time
Bought a new scanner because I was skeptical of the Foxwell reader, turns out it's just a P0351 (ignition coil cylinder 1)
I had to emergency replace a coil on cylinder 4 on a cross country drive in August, so that makes sense.
Do you know if there are any tricks for accessing the coils on bank 1 without disassembling the entire wiper/intake manifold area? The only video I can find accessing that area removes a LOT of things just to access the coils/sparkplugs.
