Took my 2000 to the dealer today. 3 hours of diag later they are stumped...but want to do further diag to figure out my misfire codes on bank 1 & P0341. Lead tech thinks that the intake cam wheel (his words) has slipped and rotated. They checked timing and it's spot on for exhaust & cam visually, everything lines up. Apparently the end of the cam is pressed on and they have seen these slip & rotate and the only way to tell is to get the cover off and visually inspect. Of course the only way they do it is to drop the engine. They also tested wiring to the cam sensor and it tested good & within spec.
Anyone ever hear of this happening?
The only other issue is of course the DME. I have another DME but of course it isn't matched with the immobilizer that is installed.
This is what he says can slip & rotate. Haven't heard of seen this happen before so I'm stumped.
Just for reference codes are P0300, P0301, P0302, P0303 & P0341.
New AOS
new bosch cam sensors (both banks)
vacuum lines replaced
new vacuum canister
new check valve
coil packs swaped to bank 2, codes dont follow
new bosch plugs
new spark plug tubes 7 orings
The crux of all of this is that using Durametric I can't activate either cam solenoid, software just locks up. It locks up also when I try to activate anything when the car is running such as SAI, engine fan, fan stage 2, etc. I can activate things when the engine isn't running though. I can manually activate it by giving it 12v and idle changes when I do. Almost bought another car just so I can have something to swap dme/imob/key with to rule out the dme.
