Hello everyone. I have a 2014 dodge charger awd with a mild custom comp camshaft from MMX, JBA shorty headers and a couple modifications made to the intake (ported throttle body, spacer, stock intake) for about 3 months now, my mechanic, tuner and I have been trying to figure out why this car won?t set emission monitors even with emissions equipment in place. The cam kit I purchased from MMX came with a VVT 8 degree limiter in the kit. However, even though the limiter is in there, my tuner is only able to adjust the camshaft 1 degree and believes it is either a VVT lock that was installed instead or there is an issue with the VVT solenoid to prevent him from being able to time the cam correctly. Also, I made the mistake of installing electronic mods in the past (Tazer, pedal commander) unfortunately, the Tazer was still married to the car when the original start up tune from MMX was installed post cam job and my tuner believes it may have screwed a lot of stuff up with the modules within the car.
Is there a reason he cannot make cam adjustments with the 8 degree limiter in HPT? The car currently shows no codes for anything involving the VVT solenoid?
Also, since the modules were flashed with the Tazer device married at the time, could that be causing HP not to work correctly with the car?
Currently, my tuner has us using Witech 2.0 to reflash all the modules in the car back to factory as well as updated. Could software corruption be a reason the car won?t throw any codes or illuminate any check engine lights? Could this all be fixable after reflashing back with Witech?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
