CCV ground state puzzling behaviour

I hope that someone can help me on this one. I recently threw a P0440 code (single code only) on my 2003 Vibe.

I have started finding out that it seems to have many of the same problems as a lot of the Vibes out there. The stock CD grinds when I am stopping, ...
