Intact camshaft

My engine light popped on today. I took it to Auto Zone and thet said it was the Intact Camshaft. Would it be ok to drive it tomorrow or should I take it to the shop immediately?

What year, model and mileage ?
The code would help that AutoZone found.
Intact (Intake) Camshaft could possibly be a solenoid part that might be bad.

Very common problem and easy fix. Not too expensive either.
Get ready for some reading.

You have a intake solenoid problem to cause this code.
Here is a video that shows how to go about it to replace it.

This is really easy to do. Even for someone like me that has precious few tools or know-how. Beware, though. The first one I bought on Amazon didn't fix the problem. So I bought the AC Delco OEM for about 15 bucks more and it runs like a dream now. Much improve mileage too.
