I changed plugs about a month ago to NGK iridiums. While doing the change, I disconnected the coil pack plugs and two plugs on the left front side of cam cover to wipe them out with a dry cloth and reconnected them. About 25 miles later the cel came on. I had the codes read (P0660,P1569) we cleared the codes and the cel still comes on and goes off approx. every week or so. The car runs fine. Any experts on this out there?

P0660 Intake Manifold Tuning Valve Control Circuit/Open (Bank 1) - Again, has the VTCS or VICS been meesed with? Just unplugged or did you go with a 626 intake?

On the side between the cruise control & intake manifold attached to the intake mainfold. Not seeing connection between unplugging the coils & now codes for VTCS.

i pulled the white and green plugs for vics and vtcs and sanded the terminals then applied dielectric grease and it fixed the problem with the codes.

Cool, have to remember that one if ever gettin those codes. Glad that's all it was.
I was happier than s*** when i did it and it worked a year ago .see i wash the engine compt a lot i know... but i do it and will, cause it looks new, but the moisture gets in the little pluggies and corrodes the copper so i greased all the terms. i could find, great cars man thanks to the Japanese.
I am chasing CEL code 1569 in a 2002 Mazda Protégé 5. Sanded the connectors and used dielectric grease at the solenoid. Confirmed 12V on pin A connector to VTCS solenoid. Getting ready to check continuity from pin B to PCM pin 73. How can I identify pin 73? Is it marked on the PCM connector?
