P2006 is what I have been throwing for a while. I replaced my WGA and it didn't fix that. However, what I have found is that the P2006 is actually a VTCS issue. Intake manifold, is yours stock?

Well I recieved those two codse before several times. I replaced a bad WGA and I havent had one sence tell now.

i nearly rear ended someone today.

i went out for a bite on my break, forgot it was rush hour, so im trying to switch lanes, i look to see if anybody is coming on my right, i look ahead, all cars have braked to a hault.

here i am going about 30mph and i come a hault, no screeching tires, just the abs kicking in and i literally felt like i stopped instantly, like i was still like 3ft from the car i was going to rear end lol.

i love this damn car

 

[Ricktalife]

careful with her!

 

[SeR_Cyclops]

lol this car is awesome, im glad she stoped for ya i was riding with the GF in a 06 chevy cobalt and she rearended someone and i never thought that thing was going to stop we slammed on the brakes a mile away and we still hit them.

 

[Ricktalife]

is that the cobalt that she JUST got?

lol no ill tell ya the story. my GFs sister was 15 and she got her car cause she was about ready to get her permit. everything was going good and all and keep in mind that this was the first day she got it. her sis wanted to go in and see her boyfriend and me and lacey (my GF) said that we would give her a ride because we were going to town anyways so we all thought we would drive her car so we got into town and we dropped her off and we were going to the strip for the cruise. we came over the hill where the strip is and as soon as we get over there is a car stopped in front of us and she slammed on the breaks and i never heard the ABS kick in but we hit them hard and we shoved them into the next car. lol acutally we hit my bro and we hit him so hard it knocked his change out of his cup holder in his 00 celica. and slid him into my other buddy that was also driving a celica. i might as well tell you all what happend, we were all going to the cruise JR Angel Michael Kyle and me and lacey that was the order we dropped over the hill. some lady bowed up and turned with no signals or anything and Jr almost hit her and Angel almost hit him but Jr roll forward just farenough that Angel didnt hit him. then Michael almost hit Angel but Angel seen it coming and had enough room to give the car gass and get out of the way. Michael come to a full stop when kyle got stopped a few inches from him. later on that day kyle said that he thought he was going to hit michael and when he got stopped it was the best feeling in the whole world! but not even two seconds later we came in and smashed him and pushed him into Michael lol Kyle said he was pissed because he still ended up hitting Michael. but it wasnt his fault it all went on Laceys insurance. even after totaling one car and wrecking two more her insurance is still cheaper than mine and i have no violations. SCREW THE INSURANCE COMPANYS!!!!

Well I replaced the WGA and like you it went but came back. Occasionally my CEL clicks back on for a random amount of time then goes again. I am 99% sure it's the intake mani butterfly valves acting up. At least, that's what I've concluded talking to many people about it. I believe the only way to fix it is to get a 626 or a stock intake mani minus the butterflys. People have simply cut them out of the one that's on their car but I am not that skilled. Plus, a 626 mani will improve the car's performance so it's like a double whammy. Or, you can check to see if perhaps you just have a bad solenoid.

Don't you have a few cold start issues with the 626 mani? IE runs like crap tell its warmed up.

 

[stdntDrvr]

i've got a spare IM that i've taken the vtcs out of and all of the necessary gaskets...i've got a thermal spacer to go with it as well if you're interested.

 

[MSP2024]

i notice lately that i get the turkey for a lil bit, i let the car warm up(626 mani and well its ****** cold) before driving, it lasts for like 5 or10 min then it will go to the normal bov noise, what the hell makes it do that? all though i do like the looks i get from the turkey haha

anyone got anything for that? i have checked all my lines and there all good so im curious if this happpens to anyone else

 

[mgerst1]

maybe grease in the bov is cold so it is sluggish until it warms back up?

 

[stinkycheezmonk]

What I did to mine today (well, recently anyway):
-Transmission rebuild, diff replacement
-Cleaned interior of yellow felt
-Cleaned up engine bay of crooked/loose intercooler couplings, bad wiring, general shittiness
-New brakes all around
-Replaced disgustingly horrendous exhaust with stock exhaust
-Oil change
-New tires
-DIY alignment
-Water pump

*phew!* O, the joys of buying a new-but-abused car!
