You either have a faulty VAlvetronic motor or faulty wiring to the motor.

Nick, thanks for the reply....question on valvetronic motor. I am going to test, using a valvetronic from my friends 09 cooper. Do you think this is ok to do, before i order a new one? Removing the vavletronice has 3 screws, should it just pull out from there?
