• EVAP system hose leaking
• Faulty ignition coil (s)
• Engine Control Module (ECM)
• Oil flow restriction in the oil passages or the VCT valve body

At this point we are assuming that the fuses and relays are good. You will need to locate the PCM/TCM and the power input signal circuit using your vehicle information source.

Unplug the connector from the PCM/TCM, place the ignition switch in the ON position, and probe the appropriate circuit with the positive test lead of the DVOM.
