hootie6828 Posted November 20, 2016 Report Share Posted November 20, 2016 I'd have the wonder about timing if it is backfiring through the intake, or maybe a leaking or sticking valve. I would do a compression check before you go any further. In my experience, most junkyards that sell motors with a warranty don't do any kind of test, they just give you another motor if it's no good. Also, I have never seen a P2 car flash all the dash lights, except on the initial key on check. Add in the fact that the display is dead on the right side, and i'd say you either have a wiring issue, or a bad DIM (cluster) which is not uncommon on these cars, but doesn't effect running condition most times.

woah4 Posted November 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2016 Took a short video today again, I am STILL waiting for my vida/dice, hopefully it's here next week. I'm trying not to run the car until I can figure this issue out, but I was able to borrow a scanner off a coworker that gave me the ability to record some live data so I did use it for that and make this video to show you guys because without vida at his point I'm still not totally sure what parameters I should be seeing with this scanner, but with the exception of maybe the spark advance? Nothing really stands out to me. Tomorrow I will be verifying the cam timing and performing a compression test. Any thoughts or ideas are as always appreciated, thanks everyone -Billy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woah4 Posted November 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2016 Worked on it a bit more yesterday. Still no progress. Checked the timing, thought it looked off, took the belt off, reset it and put it back together, no change. (Though now I get a pending code that says exhaust cam over advanced) car still runs the same. Also checked the compression, here are the results: So that all checks out good to me. I'm back to thinking it must be something electrical, I really hope that vida shows up on Monday. I also made a video showing the idle under the hood, and unplugging the coil packs one at a time showing the change, which I will upload later today. regards, -Billy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that counts you know.. Lol yeah sorry man I found a killer deal on an 05 V70 awd so I picked that up. The XC will likely get parted out, but if I get vida on Monday I'll still hook up to it and see what I get, and I'll let you guys know too. Thanks again for all the help, -Billy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woah4 Posted January 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 Finally got my copy of Vida working, and scanned the car. The injector codes are from me unplugging them with the engine running to determine if I had dead cylinders or not, the rest I am unsure of. After I tried resetting the timing is when the cam position code came up, but it was not present before then and there has been no change in the way the car runs, I think I may not have the VVT adjusted correctly however I don't think that is the main issue. Some freeze frame data from when I finally got the car to rev past 1500rpm, and it set knock sensor codes. Thats all I have for now sadly, nothing really seems to jump out at me and I'm still confused, if anyone has any ideas I would appreciate it. My next step is to get a manual boost/vacuum gauge on it and get a reading unless any of you see anything out of the norm in those images I think... regards, Billy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
