Default Timing Locked by Scan Tool

Interesting (and scary the first time!) discovery using a Snappy “Modis Edge” for a VE with the L98 donk.

Startup with the scan tool in operation resulted in huge rattles, I think from the variable cam timing gears, and a stench of fuel. Couldn’t hold an idle.

With tool powered down and disconnected - back to normal.

Has anyone else seen a similar phenomenon?
