If the solenoid is disconnected it won't work. Passenger side rear of the head, there is a gold solenoid sticking out of the head with a plug. Make sure it is plugged in.

Find someone that can log mivec for you to see if it's working or not. Might not be your problem.

i have an SES light, which just might be causing a limp mode, my car used to spool up about 700rpms faster at least before. the code is there for a sensor that was replaced but wont go away
