Severity: Severity not verified — if the car runs badly, have it inspected
We have not sourced a severity ruling for P1399. A misfire can still damage the catalytic converter, so have a shop look at it soon, and treat a flashing check engine light as urgent.
This page covers only what differs on Acura. For what P1399 means, the ranked causes and the test order, see the P1399 guide.
