What is the Engine Variable Valve Timing (VVT) Oil Control Valve all about?

A VVT solenoid is responsible for maintaining fuel economy by regulating the supply of oil to the VVT hub.

Keep in mind:

Low oil levels can also cause problems with the VVT solenoid and other timing system parts.
Each auto manufacturer has unique codes signifying an issue with the VVT solenoids, so it’s important to have a qualified technician diagnose your vehicle.

How it's done:

Disconnect the battery and locate the variable valve timing solenoid, and remove the mounting bolts.
Disconnect solenoid and remove the solenoid.
Lube the solenoid and apply the lithium grease to the seals on the solenoid spool.
Insert the solenoid into the mounting surface space.
Insert the mounting screws.
Fasten the engine cover.
Reconnect the battery.

Our recommendation:

When replacing the solenoid, you may experience a slight resistance but that means that the seals are properly fitted. To overcome the resistance, twist the solenoid slightly back and forth while pushing down to get it flush with the mounting surface.

Hyundai Elantra GT L4-1.8L - Pre-purchase Car Inspection - San Francisco, California

Chris showed up on time (actually, early) for the scheduled appointment. He was thorough in his inspection of the car I was looking to purchase. Upon completion of the inspection, Chris called me to provide his findings and answer any questions. This was in addition to providing a detailed report (along with photos) that I was able to access online. Great experience. Thanks, Chris!

It was recommended that I was to get a fuel injector cleaning. Would getting the product from the auto store and putting in it my gas tank do the trick.
