Can someone help

[gixxerchaz]

I have a 2008 mazdaspeed3 and I am getting a check engine light. When checked I am getting codes P2088 and P0012. The problem is that I am in Korea and there is no mazda dealer. Can someone help

According to the FSM:

2088 is oil control valve voltage low. If you're not seeing low oil pressure or having low oil level, the connector is possibly at fault.

0012 is CMP over-retarded, this should throw a light. This could be related to the code above as low oil pressure would cause the cam timing, via VVT, to not advance.

Clear the codes (disconnect battery) and verify your engine's oil pressure, as a stop-gap measure. If oil pressure is ok, there's no risk in running the car like this, it's just going to be down some power.

i would think your bad oil control valve is most likely causeing the other code, there both from one problem. locate that oil control valve and swap it. ill try and find out where it is on alldata and let u know later if u need help
