    Test update with power, signal and ground...I have positive reading from 1 through 3 but the 4th connector is negative.

    So over the coil pack for the 3 wires for each connector, everything had positive results besides cylinder 4. I didn't have time to do a continuity test which will be tomorrow after work. It will test the harness from the coilpack connector to the 9 pin to test for breakage. If that goes well, next will be from the 9 pin to the ecu harness.i hope I don't have to go that far but that will make it known if everything leads to the ECU.

    Videos were too large ro upload:

    I will update tomorrow evening. I am looking forward to finding the issue and resolving it. It's been too long?

    I believe I have a solution but it will be full tested when the new part arrives.

    Ignition coil harness continuity test:
    • Cylinder 1: blue, black, white Cylinder
    • 2: red, black, white Cylinder
    • 3: green, black, white Cylinder
    • 4: yellow, black, white
    • All black wire good
    • All white wire good
    • Blue - good
    • Red - good
    • Green - good
    • Yellow - good
    Harness to ECU connectors are good as well so I was lost again. Looked at the harness to the connector I saw that the signal wires went to the wotbox and the coilpack power to the split second. Thought, would the wotbox have anything to do with it...curious?

    Jordan from Overspeed, the harness builder (Kyle Rutter...highly recommended nerd), and my Nator family and Marine Veteran brothers all said "Remove the wotbox and put a jumper on to focus on the signal wire as we were wondering if the wotbox is failing at that connection.

    Remove the wotbox wire and inserted the jumper and bam the Pu Roared like never before. I was pissed and happy at the same time. Turn off the car and said it must be the wotbox. Jordan and Kyle said to verify continuity in the wotbox wires. Did that and the harness for the wotbox was good so now it looks like after everything (especially all the money spent), the source of my pain was the wotbox.

    I will call this problem solved when the new wotbox comes in; programmed and the car is back.

    I heard the wotbox failing is common. Is that true?

    Right now, I have been working with N2MB with a solution for the wotbox as of now, eliminating it have solved the issue. I am hoping to take it on a run this weekend.

    You can say that. Took a spin around the block and P0012 and P2088 came up so I will be doing an oil change in the morning. :drive:

    Update: oil change but P2088 check light still there even when deleting code as well as P0012 on and off. Working with N2MB still on why the car isn't running on all 4 cylinders when it is connected. Wiring verified and they are still trying to figure it out.

    A Camshaft Position Actuator Control Circuit Low Bank 1 meaning the P2088 error will be stored if the camshaft fails to adjust as per command. With the help of oil pressure, the PCM will advance or delay the timing of the camshaft, which alters when the valves open and close. Also a connect with a failed or failed oil control valve. It can also be wiring.
