Hello, my name is \*\*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*\* I'm sorry your having problems with this vehicle so I'll try to help you with this issue.The website may prompt if you want a call, but that would be up to you. So it will not be an issue with the ign. switch. it is likely an issue with a lifter or it could be a spark plug , so check the oil then change the #5 spark plug and clear the code and see what happens.
