Hello, i got a quick question. Do I need to do an oil change when i replace my vvt solenoid? I never thought I had to until when I got the new solenoid and in the box it said I should do an oil change every time i replace something of VVT Thank you

Sorry I didn't see this sooner.. but yes, I would do an oil change when you replace the screen. You don't want the dirty oil to clog the new screen you just put in.

Very professional very fast and painless! Awesome

Appreciate the video. Just ordered the parts seems straight forward enough

Thanks man, my son's car has this code along with engine code P1346. I think both issues can be solved by replacing the solenoid. I will do this tomorrow and let you know if that fixed our problem as well. Thanks again

Perfect advice! Changed both the solenoid and the filter - quick, easy, thank you!

I replaced this on my 2002 is300 and it cleared the p1346 code but i still have the p1349 code, do you know what it might be? Thanks.

Hey man, I just got done taking apart my engine and drove an hour away from home when this code popped up. Am I good to wait til I get home to deal with this? Or should I get it fixed ASAP before I drive back home for an hour. My engine was smoking once I finished driving and like you said, it has trouble at low rpm where I can barely accelerate. I just worked with my timing belt so you think it could have anything to do with that? I also was messing with that solenoid too and I’m just thinking what the hell are the chances of that thing breaking while I’m doing all this other stuff

Check the wiring going going to it. The clips on the connectors get brittle and snap. Also make sure there isn't any debris in the connector preventing it from seating all the way in. You should be able to get this part from any auto parts store. I would do everything you can before you drive it that far.

Did it run any better after wards ?

I have this same check engine and the traction control on as well does this problem make your car shut off as well

I have a lexus is 200, this error happend to me as well but the thing is that It doesn't always stay here, it pops up sometimes. My car wasn't running well. When the car was stopped, the motor would be like unstable and 1500-1800 rpm. Hard to start etc. Felt like the vvti was always triggered. By the time the car reached the mechanic with the tow truck, the issue wasn't here anymore and the car looked fine. Can this still be a solenoid issue or might be another problem?

Theres a chance it could be this, but theres so many other things it could be. I would pay for a proper diagnostics test before replacing any parts.

I watched KZread and repeatedly watched your channel. Thank you for sharing your knowledge to us. These are the works i did on my Lexus is300 2003 right after I bought it a month ago: replaced spark plugs, spark plugs wire, spark plugs coil boots, intake air connector gasket, cover valves gaskets, pcv valves hoses , radiator, upper and lower radiator hoses, timing belt, serpentine belt, tensioner, tension pulley, water pump, oil changed, oil filter. These were all done together and when I was done and test drive it just after 5 miles engine light came on and trac light flash! So I'll be waiting for you help bro ! Thanks 😁!

@@lebronjordan802 hey man! So after doing a quick search on the forums I think your suspicion may be right about the ocv valve or the filter. It pretty much has to be either that or the cam sensor. But before doing anything else I would take off the top timing cover and make sure the belt didnt skip a tooth or something. Make sure the cams are still aligned perfectly.
