Welcome to 2CarPros.

The code is related to the intake valve control solenoid. Is that what you replaced? It may be bad again. Here is a test to check it for operation without using a scanner. The attached pictures correlate with the directions.

_________________________________________

[Without Scan Tool]
1. Ignition "OFF".
2. Remove the intake valve control solenoid from the engine
3. Visually check the Spool Column of intake valve control solenoid for contamination
4. Connect 12V and a ground to 2 and 1 of the solenoid (Component side). Verify that spool column move to left as shown in the figure.
5. Disconnect 12V and verify that spool column move to original condition

I noted that you indicate little knowledge. Here are a few links that you may find helpful checking the solenoid:

Make sure the wiring is still tight and not corroded. Also, make sure the engine oil is clean and full.

Let me know what you find or if you have other questions.

Take care,
