So I finished my 2.4LR build a couple months ago and really the only issue is I'm getting a P0011 code (ie mivec slow to respond).

I'm not sure why I'm getting it. If was an issue with having to alter the timing by a tooth for the 2.4 build I think it would be more documented so I don't think that is it. I also don't tihnk it's an issue with the intake cam position sensor being installed 180* off because I feel like there would be more symptoms with fuel delivery, etc

The cars idles odd sometimes (after driving for a while and after getting new gas for a minute or so) but otherwise there seem to be no symptoms other than the code itself.

I tried logging MiVEC using the method I've found but I seem to be getting odd logs of it so perhaps I'm not doing it correctly or it's pointing to another problem.

I uploaded a log which shows mivec. I'm not sure if the values I'm logging are correct and there is a mivec issue (perhaps the sensor is installed 180* off) or if I'm just not logging correctly. The formula I'm using is 72-0.6*x/32 and I'm using 7650 and 7651 on MUT locations B0 & B1 (which are unused as far as I can tell). I haven't made any other changes to xml files but I haven't seen anywhere that you need to.

Any help is appreciated

 

Any thoughts? I'd like to work on it today since it's a day off.

 

What's your oil pressure?

 

Unsure, unfortunately I don't have an oil pressure gauge.

 

In my opinion, first step is to make sure you have sufficient oil pressure to actuate the MIVEC properly In all conditions.

 

That definitely makes sense, though I am confident I have sufficient oil pressure. There has got to be something wrong with how I'm logging mivec as well, though. The logs don't make any sense.

 

I don't mean to be a pain but I'd really like some input from the more experienced members. Anyone? I've read about being able to turn the code off but I don't want a bandaid if there actually is something not working correctly.

 

I will literally paypal someone $20 if they help me get my mivec logging correct including target and actual mivec.
