Thanks brother! - I know when I got it all back together and turned the key for the first time I really expected it to fire up and run... nope... was a killer!
And then I went back through everything before jumping on here, just to double check myself, and really found nothing of huge significance. I had clipped a coil ground (center cap nut on valve cover) because the bolt was frozen, but I did a bang up solder and new eyelet job on that sucker! I also found bare copper exposed on my bank 2 exhaust vanos harness, too close to the connector to fix, but thankfully the connector tested good and I was able to clean that wire up and seal the jacket.
Cleared the codes and held my breath... and it still didn't run.
Then - the clouds parted and the sucker ran like a top for 7 minutes... and now I am back to a VANOS code and poor idle.
I'm sure we'll eventually nail it down, but wow, this kind of stinks.
Two steps forward, one step back... but getting there
You have a VSS job in your future?
