To be terribly proper these are the solenoid valve. the electronic part is a solenoid that operates a valve

That is so funny!
George, I have been looking at my CEL for so long, it started looking like a Bowtie logo to me. LOL!

The code I got was a P0013 or P0014, can't remember which. But my BlueDriver OBDII reader identified the CMP Actuator Valve Solenoids as the fix.
Had a planned couple of days off from work so I bit the bullet and ordered the parts.

Went ahead and replaced both intake and exhaust sides at the same time, since the pack of both was about the same price as one (under $30 delivered)
Also did plugs while I was in there.

Here is a link to the parts if anyone else needs them:
