Thanks for responding! You are right, originally I was told it was the 14-15 that had the reluctor ring change but luckily I found it was the 13-14 before I bought the donor car. But, still thought you might be on to something so I just checked and found they both use the doorman 907-792. Maybe I should go through all sensors and make sure they didn't change one of them.
I'm now grasping at straws, I found what appears to be a good explanation of what the MDS system does and how it does it along with a troubleshooting guide that looks good also, although it requires a real scanner. I have a friend coming over tomorrow night with his and hopefully we'll come up with something.
If you have some time, would you check this out and let me know what you think? James Anderson and Rob Waltasti on Chrysler MDS
Thank you very much

Ok, after hooking the scanner up and clearing all codes present we started all over again. This scanner offered a "New Engine relearn", not real sure what that entailed but we did it. Completed a relearn on everything that it offered, including a phaser clean/flush. The only codes
returning were the four MDS and camshaft codes. We forced all four MDS solenoids to function and verified they were at least clicking. We then found the PCM was not communicating with the VVT, I've already swapped the cam sensor with no changes. So, I'm now leaning hard to the PCM as the problem.
