LOL - there WAS BBQ! Smoked two pork butts for 14 hours the night B4. Good times, until we threw a stuck APV code....
Turns out it was nothing we did - it was the APV gears. Without Dan's expert troubleshooting, we would not have had a successful outcome. The outer white gear under the APV motor was installed 180 degrees in the wrong direction.![Frown](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/frown.gif)
It's fixed and on the street for break-in.

I will shoot some vids later this week. Can't really say it sounds different, but then again we kept it under 4K. Idles smooth as glass. We only drove slowly around the neighborhood and came back home and looked everything over. I need to get some break in miles on it.

Yea, in hindsight, it might have been me. I had the gears all apart also, so I will take the blame. We had three APV motors to use, so after Dan swapped the first motor out, and it still threw the code, we started thinking the worst - pull the engine back out to pull the LIM. Instead, we pulled the second APV motor off and found the gears rotated fine. No binding. We had my old LIM to study since the one on the rebuild was from another car. Studied the gears a bit and noticed the magnetic pickup on the outer white gear was not in the correct position for when all open or all closed. Struggled to get the gear out, swapped 180, bolted it all back up and it worked like a champ.
