i just had my timing belt, pulleys, pump and other things in that area replaced. drove the car home about 5 miles. the next day start to drive my car to work and it feels like it wants to die and feels like low power. before i get to work the check engine light comes on so i take it to a shop and now shows a code p1381 could this be pertaining to the work i just had done or is this something totally unrelated. thank you

thank you for your quick response. can i ask one more question is this 100 percent because they are so sure they did everything right and want to charge me another 4 1/2 hours labor to check and this does not seem right to me. thank you again.
