So it's my turn with P1341.

Bought a Duratech to diagnose it. Looks like bank 1 solenoid is on the way out. Sometimes it responds normally, advancing immediately to 23 degrees at 3000 rpms with back 2. Sometimes it is slow to react, taking several seconds to get to 23 degrees. Sometimes when it returns to idle, it remains at 23 degrees, idles like crap, and throws the CEL.

So, this is the solenoid going out, correct? Why in the heck are these $600?

Bank 1 is cylinders 1-3, right? I assume that's driver's side?

How much of a PITA are these to replace?
