Default Camshaft position actuator solenoid!?

i asked this question awhile back and got very few answers. of the answers i got, i tried following up with the members who initially answered it, but they never got back to me. ive searched different sites and forums and have yet to get a definite answer.

engine code is popping a p0013, which is CMP actuator solenoid short. thing is, i dont where it is on the truck, and i dont know where to find the part.

every auto place i go to, they show a CMP sensor, not the solenoid. i bought the haynes manual, and that didnt help at all.

someone mentioned to me that the part i needed had a different name. he said i needed a 'variable valve timing solenoid', but the manual makes no mention of anything concerning variable valve timing, let alone how and where to find the part

please help!

I don't know if this is the part you need, but it's called SOLENOID-VARIABLE CAMSHAFT TIMING. It's located under the intake manifold at the front of the engine. I made a screen capture and pasted it on a powerpoint slide. I sent you a PM requesting your email so I can send it to you.
