    Where do I unplug the passenger side cam solenoid?

    Been searching but can't find the answer.
    I have severe rough idle. fouling plugs passenger side only.
    I read somewhere I can unplug the cam solenoid and should get smoother idle if that's the issue.
    Where exactly do I unplug it?
    Would like to do that before tearing it apart.

    Thanks in advance.

    Will likely try hitting the solenoid with 12v to see if it's stuck as well.
    Just want to be sure I use the correct plug :)

    At the firewall you find a bracket with some connectors, follow the one who is going down to the solenoid. Be sure you have the good one, lambda is there too.

    that's been my issue. I can't follow without unclipping everything.
    All my wires are ziptied like crazy. previous owner.
    Pretty sure Lamda is larger green one.
    I'm hoping it's the small black one on the right as It looks right when I see images of the engine out and the plug hanging but don't want to fry anything by being impatient. :)

    18guage leads did squat.
    Was that big enough?
    Not hearing anything.
    Seeing small arc as I release the leads.

    Does polarity matter?
    Tried both ways.

    Yes it should be, I used dmm leads too.

    It starts with a light bump sound, after 20-30 times it's more noticeable
