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.

Leading evidence: 'Run durametric' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Run across this' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Need some advice. I have been battling cam deviation for the last few months. I have rebuilt the actuators and now replaced them. Here is the situation. Car runs fine but on occasion when you get on it the car will have a hiccup and throw a CEL for P1539 the go right back to running fine. Has anyone run across this before? Not sure if its the ECM or possibly the actuator is moving. I have heard of the bolts striping in the head. Really trying to avoid dropping the motor again. Also its a M96.1 5 chain ran the durametric on it and bank one is at 6 deg and bank 2 is at 3deg

POST 2Original post

P1539 is typically a wiring fault, either with the signal wire or the power supply.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

So I have done the following. Tested the solenoid and it engages, tested and have 12.3 volts at the connector and did an oms test on the trigger wire back to the ECM. Thoughts

POST 4Original post

When the solenoid engages, does the engine idle change?

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yes

POST 6Original post

Then it is working and the wiring is fine, with the exception of the fact the DME is not always seeing it working. I would take a close look, as in manually tracing it, at the harness from the sensor to the DME; there are often multiple connectors in these harnesses, one or more of which may be loose or show terminal corrosion which could be the cause of your intermittent issue.
