It is a variable valve timing performance code. it could have a bad actuator solenoid, a bad cam actuator, low oil pressure or clogged passages, a wiring to control solenoid problem, or a bad controller. most often it is an actuator solenoid at fault.

Check Engine Light On, P030x Specific-Cylinder Misfire Code A cylinder specific misfire indicates that either compression, appropriate fuel mixture, or spark is missing. Start with a visual inspection, looking for a vacuum leak near the cylinder and any sign of wear on the spark plug wire. Check the compression on the target cylinder to ensure that the engine is mechanically sound. Use a stethoscope to listen to the suspect cylinder's fuel injector. Listen for distinctive clicks and compare to another cylinder.
