This video demonstrates that with some simple comparison testing (intake solenoid) without any deep investigation we can easily diagnose this vehicles fault with 100% certainty.
It turned out to be a very straight forward job and I hope you find the video helpful.
Thanks for watching 🙏🙏👍👍

Our mechanic threw tons of parts at the car and I brought the car back not fixed. This fixed the issue! Thanks so much!! The exhaust did not respond to power and had high ohms.

What happens if you put the camshaft actuator in the wrong holes

[@Ryder4u1313]

Are the solenoids the same part for intake and exhaust??

[@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage]

No, different parts with different connectors.

[@roberthodges1267]

@@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage My 2013 1.8L has the same solenoids and connectors
