Hey all, I have a 2020 ram 1500 limited Etorque.
My problem first started when I was getting a fluttering sound coming from the engine when I would accelerate. This sound was accompanied by loss of power and eventually, limp mode. Then my check engine light came on and I got P0016, engine timing. I looked in the forums here and started with the simplest- ended up replacing my cam sensor, crank sensor and VVT solenoid in that order.
The engine started acting far better when I replaced my VVT solenoid. The sound went away, but I still have hesitation with accelerating, rough idle and extremely high gas consumption with the codes P0172 and P0175, both banks running very rich.
now the grinding/fluttering sound returns, but only briefly and on rare occasions. My gas mileage is absolutely terrible. I’m wondering if I should look into my cam phaser? If my VVT solenoid was bad, could it have damaged my cam phaser and now perhaps it’s not actuating correctly? Was I supposed to do a cam/crank relearn after replacing the VVT solenoid?
If you need additional information, please let me know. There are some other symptoms, but I am not sure if they are related. Thanks so much!
