Power FC and cam timing solenoid trouble, R33 GTS-t

[Chris Wilson]

Got a 96 GTS-t R33 with a Power FC, slight complication is that the car was an auto, now converted to manual. As soon as the throttle is opened even a tiny amount off idle you can hear the cam variable valve timing solenoid click open, even at 1000 RPM in neutral. Definitely the cam advance solnoid, disconnect the plug to it and the click stops. This is also affecting idle speed stability. What signal(s) control this, and what could have gone amiss in the conversion to affect this please? Also have no PAS load up idle speed signal showing on the Commander, nor gearbox in gear signal, (the latter because I haven't yet fathomed out which wires in the gearbox loom should be conected to this switch). All PAS wiring is in place though, and seemingly correct though. Thanks. Can it be converted to fixed cam timing just by fitting a none VVTi cam pulley to the intake cam?
