Jessica wtf!!

Ok so a while back I put a post about my cars traction control turning on randomly and it shifting hard. Well I got the computer on it and it had given me the codes p0010 and p0011 i think, Basically told me to change the intake solenoid or whatever. I changed it and the traction control hasnt turned on but it will turn on when I step on it starting from 0. Anyone know what could be the problem now? It doesnt throw out any check engine light either only the traction control which is annoying as hell

Possible wiring issue with that circuit, need to test it properly. Is the car tuned? Possibly the tuner went too far with the intake cam tables.

Are you using a different oil? Can affect the VVT system.

Maybe your tires are just spinning?

Not tuned yet havent wanted to tune it before I fixed that issue because i hear that if you tune with problems then itll just make it worse.

What type of oil should I be using?

and its not like the tires are burning out cuz ill only have to step on it like around halfway and that will make the traction control come on

I had that problem with my old 2.4. Swapped the solenoids for new ones like you did and disconnected the battery for a while too. After the battery was re-connected everything seemed to work just fine. No lights came on and it didnt shift hard anymore. I sold it about 3 days after I did the work on it so I don't know if it worked out in the long but I'd say try disconnecting the battery for a bit. Maybe it'll reset the system or something.

hmm. weird..

When I bought the parts at the dealer they tried telling me it was a bad ABS sensor. Either one on one of the front hubs or it could be short in the wiring somewhere in the rear ABS harness. Neither of those are a cheap fix but if you could find a way to check and see if those parts are still good that could be a place to start.

This is likely the right answer. The traction control uses the abs sensors to tell if a wheel is spinning. Unfortunately the sensor only comes with the hub and can't be replaced separately on our cars

If i took it to a guy that is good with checking cars electronics and sensors and stuff do you think he would be able to figure out if it is the abs sensors thats causing this or not? I was going to take it to him like a week after I switched out the solenoids but I sold my wheels and shes on blocks until my new wheels come in on thursday so cant really go anywhere right now lol

When ever I've had a bad abs sensor the Abs light would come on and off.

You sure your tires are not just spinning slightly since its only when you punch it from a stand still.

Sounds like its working properly to me!
