I just had my timing belt, pulleys, pump and other things in that area replaced. Drove the car home about 5 miles. The next day start to drive my car to work and it feels like it wants to die and feels like low power. Before I get to work the check engine light comes on so I take it to a shop and now shows a code p1381 could this be pertaining to the work I just had done or is this something totally unrelated. Thank you

Thank you for your quick response. Can I ask one more question is this 100 percent because they are so sure they did everything right and want to charge me another 4 1/2 hours labor to check and this does not seem right to me. Thank you again.

I cannot be 100% as I am not there and am relying on info from you.

Have them track down the code themselves.
