There is a 'long ton' of wisdom in @redfishtd's post.
"drivers side phasor original ? Guides must have been broken orig, but pan not cleaned out..." "...I wouldn't trust that phasor . "
Why is the early reaction to a code (P0022) to replace the sensor that is (very possibly correctly) reporting the problem - when logic and other symptoms also point to a failure that the sensor is reporting?


Why not have some other diagnostics done drilling down on whether the Phaser on bank 2 is, or is able, to correctly position the camshaft?

The reason I changed the sensor and plug is because both the sensor and plug were visibly damaged. But you are right, it didn't solve the issue.

The driver side phaser is the next thing getting replaced. I've almost ruled out everything else.

It can cause degradation of power issues. Linkage connectors become brittle from heat and break/come off. But that is easy/inexpensive to check with bore scope or camera between manifold and firewall. However IMRC problems will produce appropriate codes. I don't think that is your problem.




Thanks. Makes sense.
