Yeah I see what you mean nismoid, but the TB was triple checked before installing cover back on and I was 100% sure it wouldn't of been off. I guess he just wanted to be sure.
Now regarding the noisy solenoid, does anyone have a YouTube link to what it would sound like? Is it common that these would be louder then usual when it was perfectly quiet before?
Zebra; he was tuning for cruise then moved onto WOT and he found out the VCT was d/c so he got it connected, then started to tune again with the VCT that's when the noise occured.
Te solenoid works from 1500-4500rpm, then after it would turn off, if this the case, why wud it get louder after 5000? if it was infect the valve hitting the piston, then the damage wudve already been done and the motor won't even run anymore.
