Read evidence and context

Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that performed work without a confirmed outcome: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

1 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

All, 03 C4S with 58k. After getting lumpy idle and P0022 and pulling the Bank 2 Solenoid for the variable cam timing, I am testing on the bench. I used some mild solvent and now can actuate it with a 12V supply. It moves and I can see ports in the valve body. However, they look as if they are not fully opening in spite of a good activation feel when the solenoid pops. (NOTE: D/S Bank 1 solenoid can be pulled with minimal work, P/S bank 2 requires removing bumper cover, hear shields, (both) and muffler in order to access the screws.) Anyone know the correct stroke of the valve ? I have a new one in bounds (returnable) but I am trying to learn a bit more about the system and determine if this solenoid is faulty or if the problem lies deeper. Thanks David
