all I’m saying is these cars are more complicated then a typical car.. especially the valvetrain. They’re finicky and parts are expensive. If you don’t have access to ISTA it’s almost impossible to properly diag/work on them.

Like I said before, it doesn’t matter where the gear is in it’s stroke when you put it together... it will adjust as soon as you turn on the key. If the teeth on the motor were contacting the teeth on the shaft then your probably ok.

If the code is the same as you had before then I’d bet you have a harness issue... probably best to find someone with ISTA and run through the test plans for that code.

If you are keeping that car for a while and plan to work on it you might want to look into getting a copy of rheingold software... it is pretty much a pirated version of the same software dealers use including repair instructions etc..
