Lots of mapped points in a stock calibration can become redundant with the IMRC removed. The stock distance tables assume the IMRC are functional and it doesn't think the MPs are redundant because one is with IMRC open and the other is with IMRC closed. Disabling the solenoid control and position sensors doesn't remove them from still being part of the distance check.

14, 21, and 25 are the three main tables in the stock cal to follow OP angles, and those become redundant with 0, 8, and 12.
Mostly 14 in low RPMs, 25 in the mid range, and mostly 21 in the high RPMs, all blending from one to the next.
even with OP MP disabled, 15+ follows OP angles when above any of the enable tables, and just pulls weight from the nearest MPs, totally outside of the mode distance. The vct schedule mode channel may not indicate it if you have conflicting information of what OP mode is and what is really happening. IMRC OP mode wants to see the IMRC are open and you defined them as closed on hardware removal as an example.
