I did not do the Vanos section of the Biesian procedure.

Today's project was to test the solenoids. I did a ground test of the solenoid male pins and didn't have any ohms on them. I tested to see how many ohms there was between the 2 pins on each of them and got 11.1 ohms at 80.6 degrees F.

I tested both for voltage on the female connectors and got 8.23 volts for both. Tested for ohms and both had none.

Pulled bank 1 solenoid and did a functional test with 12 volts and operated correctly. Cleaned it since it was out. Put it back in and got the P0011 code after starting the second time.

Tomorrow, swap camshaft sensors and if not then going to tear bank 1 side down again and see if the blocks line up.

Last year I put a new lower chain tensioner on. I received another new one in the kit I got. They both are identical on the outside and same height. The spring inside of the new one seems twice the strength as the new one I got last year. It has less deflection on the guide and rail, holds it in place better(or worse).
