Download the factory service manual / section on how to diagnose and troubleshoot that specific code. It is very black and white. If A happens THEN do B. If B fails then do C. By the end of the flow chart you will have resolved your problem. Watch livescan data, techstream or other scan tool. Measure resistance, ohms, voltages, etc.
Otherwise it's just guesswork as you've found out.
okay Ill try and find it online and see if it’s gonna have anything else
interesting I haven’t replaced the valve cover gasket I do know that someone did it recently but I might give that a shot as well. The power train control module do u know if that is the larger ecu in the engine bay or the smaller one .

Valve cover gasket won't fix it. Large ecu in engine bay. Doesn't make sense to keep shot gunning parts at it though. The problem is going to be solenoid or wiring related.

I didn’t think it would but basically everything has been changed at this point so I’m looking for something I haven’t heard of at this point. I’ve replaced the cam sensor on the passenger side that’s on top of the head, the vvt solenoid, the engine temp sensor. I’m really not sure where else to go both vvt sensor have power and are working I know because I did an active test on my scan tool. I’m only shooting in the dark because there’s no where else to go
The wire was broke when you got the car? No telling what someone did with that wire before hand. They could have fried the ECU, put voltage the wrong way, etc. I would check the wires for the vvti solenoid coming out of the ecu to make sure values are correct.

I replaced the original pig till with a new one and both are reading correct voltage and both vvt sol turn on and are functioning, the ecu is new as well
