I could rev the engine and the -29 would over shoot to +39 and settle back around 0. I thought this was the issue that was throwing the code. To me it looked like clogged OCV passage/filter. I got an engine flush and oil change. Data logging since then does not show the -29 anymore but I am still throwing P0018. Both intake cams seem to respond well and lag slightly behind the target angles. I assume this is normal since electricity is faster than oil. I have swapped OCV's from side to side and cam position sensors from side to side. Still get P0018 (not the other side).

Any idea what is going on guys? I am out of ideas.

Could it be the Crank position sensor. I assume I would have more problems if that were the case. It seems to drive fine once i reset the DTC's but then I get the code and it become "detuned" (slight limp mode).

Please help!!!

How strange. I also got P0018 immediately after Moto East installed my JDL UEL/tune.


I started discussing this in post #6. It was a hellish time. I've driven my car 2,870 miles since October 11th 2015. That's something around 230 days.
