Absolutely fair about not being a 'fluke'. Really it was more wishful thinking then anything else.
The only two codes that remain after clearing are
2A3F - VVT control circuit high - bank 1
2A77 - internal control module VVT current too high/low
Maybe my voltage regulator ran too high at some point during the ISTAP procedure?
Should I attempt to track down the cause of the initial electrical issue before being concerned with the limp mode?
I would assume corroded/shorted contacts, cables, etc could cause additional and unexpected errors, behavior, and damage, however my assumptions have not served me well up to this point. lol
Or, since it is highly likely the original issue is a cable, contact or strap as you have pointed out, is it generally 'safe' to attempt to diagnose further and try to beat this limp mode issue?
Also, as suggested, ive picked up a DVM (will have it tomorrow) for any additional voltage tracing i may need to do.
