Just replaced both VCR solenoids... The scanner still reads it as being over retarded but I actually gained power after the change.... What's left ? It only throws the code at idle... And there are no problems accelerating or driving until its time I slow down... Anyone else thinking oil pump? Seems like low pressure in the whole system is probably the culprit but that should also make the other side throw a code too... Any ideas appreciated.

Looks like it'll be one of those you drive across the scale at the scrap yards. Lol. I was really hoping to stay out of the phaser stuff but doesnt look like I get to now.
