Many thanks. I had a look last night and the passenger side one cannot be removed without removing the exhaust but drivers side is no problems.
I am assuming the variable timing solenoid first ?

Hello all,
I recently replaced the battery and took car for a long ride. Performance was normal and strong as expected. Got home and idle seemed rough.
I thought perhaps DME not adapted after battery removed for a while.
Now I have codes. Initially I got P1325 with some misfire codes.
Cleared those and tried again and now the persistent code is P0022
Camshaft Position actuator A - Bank 2. Timing over retarded.
I am hoping its the solenoid. As its an 03 , the solenoid is removeable without removing valve /cam covers.
Any have experience of this ? Is is the one furthest outboard when looking at the valve cover ? There are two, one outboard and a second between the coil packs ?
Any and all input valued,
Thanks !
David
Variocam Plus Solenoid testing ... stroke length ?
in 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa)

All,
03 C4S with 58k.
After getting lumpy idle and P0022 and pulling the Bank 2 Solenoid for the variable cam timing, I am testing on the bench.
I used some mild solvent and now can actuate it with a 12V supply. It moves and I can see ports in the valve body.
However, they look as if they are not fully opening in spite of a good activation feel when the solenoid pops.
(NOTE: D/S Bank 1 solenoid can be pulled with minimal work, P/S bank 2 requires removing bumper cover, hear shields, (both) and muffler in order to access the screws.)
Anyone know the correct stroke of the valve ?
I have a new one in bounds (returnable) but I am trying to learn a bit more about the system and determine if this solenoid is faulty or if the problem lies deeper.
Thanks
David
