Car is throwing p0021. left side AVCS isn't working it seems based on my logs. I've replaced the OVC valve already but the issue persists. I checked timing and i'm spot on. Engine runs fine, other than the AVCS not working. both intake cams are sitting at 0 with the CEL on according to my logs. After a reset the right side was working as intended, i did see the left side go up to 2 degrees for a second, but then right back to 0 until the CEL came back on.
When I rebuilt the engine back in 2019 i did not re-install any banjo filters. I've ordered a new intake sprocket as I suspect that to be the culprit. I've changed my oil and filter also, light came right back on after about 2 miles of driving.
Went with the sprocket based on a thread Underdog put out many years ago. his symptoms seem to be the same as mine. I've on ly got 35k miles since my rebuild which included a new short block, rebuild heads from a reputable shop, all new oil components due to my low oil negligence before and destroying a bearing and the engine. She's been pro-tuned, and runs like a champ other than my exhaust leak that i've been too lazy to fix.
So next week I get to re-do my timing. SUPER excited about that. I do have the company23 tools to make life easier. Haven't done timing while its inside the car yet, but looking at it there should be plenty of room with the radiator fans removed.
That's my story. I don't post here often but I do love seeing what everybody's up to.
