I've tried it on both versions, 5 and 6. The closest I find is called "camshaft adjustment", I'll assume that's the one. Both banks have a very definite drop when I try it.

Any correlation to moisture?

Corrosion and wet connections to the sensors is another possibility since corrosion could vary the resistance of the sensors seen by the computer...

Doesn't seem to correlate with moisture, but when I was doing a visual on the sensors to check the wiring, I notice a ground lug behind the AOS that looks pretty crusty. That's the side I'm having problems with, you could be onto something. I'm going to attack those next.

Sounds like you found it.

So that means they're both working?
