I thought that also, maybe it just gave up the ghost so I tried swapping the intake for the exhaust solenoid and then even went as far as swapping bank 1 for bank 2.

Had a had a bad solenoid I would have expected my issue to follow the bad part, but it did not. Everything I have done has resulted in me working myself in a full circle right back to the original exhaust Vanos 2 error.

Having looked at everything multiple times now I am starting to think that I need to go back to the timing and start over there. I wouldn’t think it was possible but I’m special... so maybe with my luck I got it 180 out or something.
