    Exclamation WOT timing issue

    Hi guys,
    v6 charger don’t not response to any WOT spark advance modification
    I found that : there is issue with Variable camshafts after couple runs and logs if vvt works fine engine perform very well either cams stay locked at 114 EX , 130 IN in cruising or WOT

    NO Check Engine light
    U0140 DTC only
    Engine runs like champ


    Any help I would be very grateful

    yup, its locked while cruising or WOT
    no Powertrain DTC and engine runs smooth!
    sometime vvt works fine and most of the time locked

    i did experiment guys
    i unplugged IAT sensor Immediately check engine light came on
    tried the same things on CAM phaser's nothing happen no Check engine light so, its bad PCM or what
    i started thread here maybe someone had the same issue or by tuning we find another way to make it work
    because without VVT that V6 perform like 4 cylinder engine

    The cam phasers won't throw a code until they are actuated. You need to be moving for that, unless you have a scan tool to activate them.
