I actually watched that video about a month ago ... very good for showing actual activation and deactivation. Forgot about it though ... so now my understanding is that variocams are activated with power on ... then it requires temps between 0-133C, rpm greater than 1300, and throttle greater than 5%. Or, temp greater than 133C, rpm greater than 1480, and throttle greater than 4%. Variocams deactivate above about 5000 rpm. It was a good design for its time.

I did not see a code for the solenoid after unplugging it ... I'll let it run through operating temp to see if it sets. I am getting ready to swap coils to see if the misfires change sides. Will update later this evening.
