Check Engine Code P0011, Rough Running Engine? How to Diagnose VVT Solenoids!

Do you have a check engine code P0011? Does the engine in your car or truck feel rough, maybe it's misfiring? In this video, Sue takes you through the steps of identifying and diagnosing a timing problem caused by a faulty VVT solenoid. Trouble code P0011 indicates that the camshaft is advanced further than the computer expects it to be. While that could indicate problems with the cam shafts, gears, or timing belts or chains, with modern vehicles, the variable valve timing solenoid is often to blame. The VVT solenoid is a valve that is controlled by the engine computer. It has oil passages that open and close to advance and de-advance timing of the engine. Dirty oil can clog up these passages, and interfere with the valve.

I started changing these this morning on an '06 F150 5.4l 3v Triton. The vct's are down in a hole with a small bolt holding them in and a rubber seal on top. The passenger side went ok. But the driver side little bolt is screwed in so tight it's ridiculous. Maybe a guy could break it loose but it is almost like it was put in with an impact wrench. So my question is...how can I break this little bolt loose without messing up something? Thanks for your help...whoever answers. Jesus bless.

    I bought a used truck & it had the same code. It was apparent that previous owner did not change oil often enough. When I took the oil cap off, you can see the burnt oil residue on inside. So, I added oil cleaner and drove truck awhile. Then changed the oil. Once changed, removed the solenoid and soaked it overnight in diesel. Then I tested it by hooking wires to battery. The solenoid plunger moved. Reinstalled. Engine light is still on, I think I can reset by adding a 1 Watt 10 ohm resister to battery. So, was it wise to add oil cleaner first before installing new solenoids? It's a quick fix till I buy new ones.

    Hello I like your videos but I have a question. I have a humming kind of grinding noise at lower speeds but the humming throughout speeds on the left front tire wheel. I thought it was the bearing but when I turn right it goes away and when I drive on the left side of the road that is banked maybe four or 5° so that the left side of the wheel goes down rides on the lower part of the bank the noise goes away. But the alignment was recently done and it said it was good within spec and after the alignment and still does it I still have all the same symptoms. Can it still be the bearing that is cracked in some place or is the bearing like cockeyed within the hub but we'll still go straight.
