When you clear the codes, do all of them come back at once? How does the car run? Did you recently remove the cover (you are saying you can remove the cover AGAIN)? What did you do? Did you inspect/replace the small chain pads? They wear down quickly and can cause the timing to go off. If you are suspecting the solenoids you can easily test them, a lot easier then pulling the cover. You can measure their resistance, or you can even test them directly by activating them with your Foxwell, or using 9V battery after disconnecting it from the harness. You should hear an audible click.
Check out this thread, I posted some pictures here about testing the solenoids:

If I clear the codes..they immediately come back immediately. Always those same 5 codes. I pulled the bank 1 timing cover to inspect the wear pads on the actuator. They actually looked in good shape. Previous owner said ims and clutch were replaced. I drove the car exactly as it is now prior to purchase and thought it ran great. Seems to drive fine. I just ordered. Durametric software because I feel the foxwell wasn’t reading well. I will read that link
