Code 1693

[burnchassis]

Hello

I'm new to the cleica club.

I just got a celica gts with 117k for 2500.00. ive done some things to it ,and It needs a wheel bearing front struts , a slight exhaust leak,and this code causing the check engine light to come on.

this code is for a OCV oil control valve which sends oil to the lifter for the variable timing after the gts hits the 6000 rpm mark.

My engine is missing this power band when that light is on.

Is this a common occurance?

Any ideas on what to do to fix it?

Write ups?

thanks!

I was hoping for some insight , but i guess this is an uncommon code. I'll let you all know what the outcome is.
