GEN 2 - Fuel pressure issue?

[FordTechOne]

Two new codes today. Idling at a light in traffic the engine dropped to 400-500rpm but didn’t die. Went into limp mode.

P0011

P0016

There is a service message for those DTCs, they can set due to sticking VCT solenoids. P0011 and P0016 are for Bank 1 Sensor A (passenger side intake cam). The procedure directs to cycle the affected solenoid 10 times with a jumper wire to free it up. If it still sticks it will need to be replaced.

Are the VCT solenoids located on the back side of the head, driver side? I found a diagram from a 2011 ecoboost but was unable to find a diagram for a newer version of the engine.

When you say cycle the solenoid with a jumper, I’m assuming you would use a ground signal to cycle the solenoid, is that correct?

They are on the front of each valve cover; 2 per side. Yes, a jumper wire to ground is the recommended way to cycle the solenoids.

Check high pressure pump it's in the engine area not the one in the tank
