You don't have to pay a professional. A lot of "professionals aren't as well versed in diagnosis as they would have you believe.Lots of people (including me) are led to believe wrong then. I thought you could buy a code reader scanner, read the code, look it up, then replace what it said without having to pay a professional high $
However the code is not something that says "part X failed". It will give you a bit of information -such as "P0022 "A" Camshaft Position - Timing Over-Retarded (Bank 2)" So that could mean the sensor isn't reading right, or the timing is retarded for another reason - as mentioned.
From there you might look at things like fuel trims or ignition timing - which might offer more clues.
It takes some learning. Or you can post the code and lots of more experienced people are usually happy to help out.
