Hey Guys,
Been a bit since I've last posted on here. Life has been in the fast lane, been around the states, and heading to another country in a few weeks for work. I picked up a second job to help save some extra cash for my next truck, but while I've been doing that, my current broke.
I drove to my brothers place which is 75 miles or so away from where I live. No code from when I started it up, but when he went to go do my oil change for me (I baked him Cheesecakes for it). The code popped up. My brother was unfamiliar with it, and the mechanics on site weren't familiar with it either.
Code: P1004 - Short Runner Valve Control Performance
I'm not sure what this is, or if I can replace it. The only thing I've done differently in the last 2 weeks was haul 3 horses, and climbed a big hill while the wind was blowing. I took it slow, steady, extra space between cars, and babied my truck quite a bit.
I've got the rest of today, and tomorrow off (8/5 & 8/6), I have a ride to work but I'm wanting more information on this. What caused it, is there something I can do to avoid this, or is it just something that happens. My truck is still running, but I was advised to not drive it unless its absolutely necessary to do so. My dealership (Dodge) is 2 miles from where I live. I plan on walking home if need be. I have extended warranty for another 13k miles on it. I was hoping the code was for the transmission, I'd love a new one within the next 13k miles
I've learned a great deal from you guys, and I'm stoked to learn more. From what I can understand is it's a "Bypass" in the air intake that allows for a quicker injection. Not a car guy, so my wording is bad, haha.
