P0263 Cylinder 1 Balance System

[cskemps]

Ok my check engine light was on this morning sp i went to a friemd that has a scanner and this is the code that came up. What does this mean? Did a search and all that came up was the OBD2 codes but didn't say how to fix or what was wrong. Please help.
Thanks in advance

PCM manages idle rpm on per-cylinder basis based on angular velocity of IP shaft, measured in the Optic Sensor system - any increase in velocity gets reduced fuel, any decrease gets increased fuel - that's how idle rpm is maintained as crank loading increases\decreases, such as engaging any gear from PARK\NEUTRAL, or turning on AC, or lites, etc - a Cyl Imbalance DTC indicates that Cyl did not respond - if the same DTC repeats regularly, would indicate a bad injector, leaky valve(s), leaky rings, etc in that cylinder - not too important if occurs occasionally at cold-start, tho worth keeping an eye on it if it's always the same cylinder, or with increasing frequency of occurance.
