Purplefade is on a distinguished road
UPDATE:


- Being at whits end with this thing I decided to double check all of my reassembly work, so.. I took a rag, sprayed it with brake clean and cleaned and re-seated every connection that I touched during the VSS process - CPS, vanos, eccentric sensors, coil plugs, valvetronic motors, you name it, ALL of them and...


- To my amazement - it runs! - Starts and idles smooth, transitions to low idle without a hiccup and seems to be running nicely but for one small thing - it has no power. Blip the throttle and the car responds with nothing for the first second or so and them lamely revs up ever so slightly.


- Shut it off and restarted it again and the same thing, starts perfectly, catches idle, idles smooth and transitions to low idle without an issue - but I did get two new codes on that start:



2B62 DME: Camshaft sensor, intake
2B65 DME: Camshaft sensor 2, exhaust


Do I have these two sensors backwards possibly? Doesn't seem to be any issue per say but for the lack of power and delayed throttle response, if it only had to idle you'd think it was perfect??
