I've been trying to find a vid that shows exactly what your showing in your vid. Although I'm working on a 2012 Malibu and your showing, I believe, a kia. The info was just as useful and so what I needed that it didn't matter. I'm going to put this info into practice when I'm finished posting this. Good man. Thank you. Be the change people. Be Eazy.

Just pull the VVT solenoid out of the motor and leave the harness connector on... Turn the keys ON and OFF and see if plunger moves....Do not start the engine..

@Zomby_Woof Год назад

So, assuming the valve spool doesn't move, what is voltage supposed to be from the ecu? If the solenoid isn't activating, it can be the solenoid, the ecu, or the wiring.

@evergreenpnw2532 Год назад

Whew your so smart!! You should make your own .2 second video.

@journeyman291 11 месяцев назад

I would think putting 12-14v to selonoid could harm the coil as voltage at connector is putting out 8.6v. Is 7.5 ohms too low? What is the acceptable range?

@clep2009 8 месяцев назад

Thank you for your very instructional video. That is exactly what I wanted to learn. On another note, I have a question that is making me scratch my head. I understand that the VCTs supply oil pressure to the cam phasers to adjust timing, is there a way to tell a bad VCT from a bad phaser without removing the valve covers?

@juancasanova2449 2 года назад

Great video. 👍 question..when I removed the plug of the solenoid...the wires pop out of the plug...does it matter the order they go back into the harness?...I didn't see the order they were in from the manufacturer. Thanks

The 2010 2.5L Kia Soul has 2. Waiting for the engine to cool off to get the left rear as facing the engine. I thought I had fuel pump problems due to car stalling when coming to a stop. Then hard start again. Fortunately my friends house was within 1/4 mile. Changed the pump. Ok same problem. Sometimes when I can get the engine to idle good I attempt to put in gear but dies. If keeps running I don’t get very far. I sure am counting on your lesson to fix as I don’t want to nickel & dime myself. The only other choice with have is crankshaft position sensor. Thank you

@louispryor7120 Год назад

Did the 4 checks. The connector coming up to the VVT has a voltage of 7.7. You mentioned this needs at least 8 volts. Where will I go to find the source for the 8 bolts? Thank you

@user-zs1ow6nb9d 4 месяца назад

Simple thorough explanation. Thanks. However, I don't get any voltage reading from the wiring harness connectors with ignition in the 'on' position. Is it possible that on some vehicles there is no current to the connectors unless the motor is running?

@db13401 Год назад

dude your awesome

@leewaynenishida8732 2 года назад

you are very sharp sharper than a knife !!!

@wildwoodtop 8 месяцев назад

Good stuff sir! So based on your test with the key ignition to the on position the solenoid would be engaged and ready to deliver oil to the VVT timing cam phaser at startup 🙂(Then the engine control module makes adjustments from there)

@martystaceewhitaker7930 Год назад

Hello there. What do I need to look for if I'm getting low voltage to the solenoid? Is there a relay or something other than wiring I can check? Thank you.

@pw5192 Год назад

Hi i liked the vid, Q: i have a 2016 polo gti 1.8 tsi , there are several of these solonoids on it , is there a sequence to take off & put them back on? As i have to do a valve cover re-seal .

@bobdelabourer1307 5 месяцев назад

Could the bench test pass but the in vivo fail. For example, when engine is at operating temperature (relative hot) could a short appear when the selonoid is hot and expanded or could it bind up.

@johnsoria4162 Год назад

Hi so if its working good when u tested does it have to keep opening and closing or just open and close just one

@frankj.hernandez8521 10 месяцев назад

I've had to change this part twice in the last year. The most recent time, engine light turned off and worked fine for about an hour then the check engine light and oil light has come on and still getting the same trouble code. Any thoughts on what else it could be? 2013 Nissan Versa SV

Hi, after the mechanic fix the timing belt for my camaro 2010 3.6 I have some codes… misfire p0300 p0303 p0304…. I took it to autozone and the paper say it’s something about the VVT SOLENOIDS….. but what do you think????

@thecommenter7201 2 года назад

How many volts should we have on the solenoid when the key is ON, engine not running? Thank you.

@KenoshaCountyEye 9 месяцев назад

I have a 2009 Chevy Aveo5 LS 1.6. I'm showing bank 1. Is that the exhaust or intake solenoid?

@joynfan 2 года назад

Got code (Bank 1 Sensor A). checked both sensors they are good (replaced with new ones did not help - confirmation of sensors intact). Noticed oil leakage residues at the VVT Magnet Valve and below is what I did: 1. Removed the VVT control magnet control valve. the pin got little stuck at first but cleaned and then it moves freely. 2. Measure the voltage of the plug coming to it: measures VDC 7.6V, The coil resistance of the valve is 6.7 ohm. 3. Tested the magnet control valve with a 7.5V (and 9VDC as well) battery and the pin pops fine with both voltages. But when plug it back to the car it does not respond although the power from the plug has voltage measured at 8.3V. I've ruled out loose connection as it has no response even the power measured from the magnet pins is 8.3V. 4. the Solenoid itself looks fine and it move in when pushed with finger and springs back out freely. This is hard to explain from what the basic ohm law of high school physics.

@bolajiajisebutu3829 Год назад

I drive a Toyota matrix 2006, and I keep getting the p0012 error code. My vehicle was recently worked on as it was over heating. I had changed the radiator to a brand new one, also changed the belt, and also checked to see the fan had good current and was still effective, so I was left with changing the gasket as my technician said it had gone flat. Since that change was done, the p0012 error code has been on and I get rough idle and even rougher once the air conditioner is turned on. What could be wrong?

@elvisgjergji Год назад

Hello, I took Out the Solenoids of my Alfa Romeo Giulietta and cleaned them. By connecting them to the car's battery to make them operate while cleaning them, I touched accidentally the to leads +&- together at one of the pins of the solenoid ☹️ After reinstalling them back into the engine, the car is not driving right. The car has lost its power and torque in the low and mid RPM...it just doesn't feel right 😔 Have I cooked the coil up,or is the valve grounded now after touching the two wires together?? The piston inside does still move thought , but since the car runs like crap

@nickschuldt9229 Год назад

Thank you for showing the settings on the multi meter. I've got two questions. Will a bad vvt solenoid stop a engine from turning over? 2nd....Do maggots get drunk when they bury alcoholic's? Lol
