P0340

I think I found something interesting.

I checked all the signals with a scope and they all look OK individually:

bank 1 at ECU

And then I noticed this drawing in the manual and decided to test both channels:

It looks like bank2 is advanced about 2ms relative to bank1, if they're supposed to be lined up like the manual shows. this would be about 5 degrees.

I also tested phase vs crank, but these did not vary at all with RPM. maybe IVT doesn't kick in before 3500, or the ecu disables it entirely in limp mode.

I'm not really sure the 5 degree out of phase is an error or not without knowing exactly what the gears look like, but this timing could be off.
