    Like title says I had both p1116 and p1121 codes. I replaced the coolant flow control valve with an OEM unit. Now I only get the 1 code, p1121. The heat is blowing ambient air, otherwise the car runs well.
    Not sure if this matters but when I cold start it 1st thing in the morning, I get a 3-5 second buzz-werr sound right after starting. Once the car warms up and I shut it down and start it up there is no sound.

    What else can I do to troubleshoot? Could it be a bad pump? How can I test for that?
