I would go after the p0011 first. as that is the variable valve timing control solenoid. if that is dirty or stuck it will cause multiple misfires on the bank. do you have desired vs actual cam degrees?

I would start with the p0011 probably needs cleaned as that's the variable valve timing solenoid. that will cause the p0300

Hey Cheryl thank you for your quick respond, my scanner only has live data and timing fluctuates between 8 degrees to 18 BTDC.
How do i go about cleaning the valve?

unbolt it and ther should be screens in there. if you don't have bi directional controls id apply power and ground to the solenoid while its off the car and see if it moves. might just be a bad valve.

forgot to mention check the level and condition of the engine oil. the variable valve timing operates using oil pressure

Cheryl is right on here

There's all kinds of ways for these systems to go wrong.

The P1800 is for the VIAS solenoid, a vacuum switching valve for the intake butterflies. Two wire, ground side switched solenoid mounted right on top of the intake. I got $5 on an open solenoid.

OK so i took off the valve and it was clean, so i put power and ground and valve opened and closed. Next i took off both cam sensors to check the resistance. On bank 1 pins 1&3 i get (04.71)m-oms pins 1&2(1.238) K-oms and pins 2&3(04.84) m-oms. Bank 2 pins 1&3 (06.93) m-oms pins 1&2 (1.141) k-oms and on pins 2&3 (23.01)m-oms. I read somewhere that as long as you get a reading it's good please let me know if they are good.
Hey Tyler on the p1800 code will this cause a misfire ?

Negative, sir. That P1800 may cause a slight loss of performance off idle, but won't cause misfires.

Ohming these kind of Hall effect sensors is tricky... Those readings seem OK, but I really don't have a good reference!

If you have the chance, maybe clear the codes and see if you can get the misfire or timing code to reset. I'm betting that you'll see a lack of camshaft advance on one bank while cruising with the engine warm.

did you check the oil level? that's how the camshaft system works

do you have a scope? I would put a scope on the control wire and make sure you are seeing a signal. which id assume it would be a square wave. you will have to drive it to get the pcm to control it the variable valve timing kicks in at higher rpms. maybe you could swap the solenoids from bank 1 to bank 2 if they will bolt on. clear code and see if the code moves to bank 2.

don't forget to check the power wire to. should be a red/green wire and r/l? red and light blue? that's what the schematic says.

God bless.
OK put back both cam sensors and IVT control valve. Cheryl i tried to switch the valves but they are clocked at different times. The wires that go to the IVT control valve are red and red/white. I do have a scope that's what i have been using 5MHz multiScope don't know how to use it but i will by the time im done. LOL

Ah, so it's misfiring at idle, then? I suppose that'll make it easier to diagnose. :lol:

With that timing code, I'm wondering if the chain skipped on one bank? It'd sure explain the misfires.

Took the car for a test drive to see if i would get the same codes back and i did not just the p0300. I drove it up a hill and it had a bad misfire im going too have to take the plenum off some time this week to check plugs and injectors. I will keep you posted on what happens and Cheryl i do have power at the valve.

God bless you my brothers and sisters.

Today i checked for spark on bank 2 and found that #2 was not firing and #4 was arching from the side. I pulled all three out and ohms the coils and they all tested the same what's up with that. I switched #2 & # 6 and coil did not fire on #6 so i know the coil is bad so why do they test the same?
