Q: How much is a tune-up for a 2000 Lexus RX300, with 249k mileage?
Check engine light on. Autozone gave me the following codes when I stopped by to check the cause of the check engine light:
P1349 Variable Valve Timing System (bank 1) P1349 " P0300 Random Misfire detected P0301 Cylinder 1 Misfire detected P0303 Cylinder 3 Misfire detected P0305 Cylinder 5 Misfire Detected P1130 A/F Sensor Circuit Range/Performance
My car has 249000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
Is a tune up the answer to the problem, or I need more than that?
