Thank you for getting back to me. The solenoid is receiving power—I verified it with the Foxwell scanner by sending a signal, and the engine idle changes as expected. Bank 1 had similar issues, and I replaced the actuator there. It was definitely an expensive fix, lol. I’ll check the oil pressure next. The car runs fine overall, but I’ve parked it for now since the timing is off.
