- In this detailed video, I dive into the troublesome world of sporadic engine misfires on a 1999 Lexus ES 300, a common issue that often stems from faulty oil control valves, also known as Variable Valve Timing (VVT) solenoids. The journey begins with the pitfalls of opting for seemingly cost-effective, but ultimately unreliable, aftermarket parts found on platforms like Amazon. The initial attempt with a cheaper oil control valve seemed like a steal but ended up causing more headaches than it was worth, highlighting the hidden costs of low-priced components.
The turning point came when I discovered Amayama.com, a gem of a source for genuine Toyota and Lexus parts, based out of Dubai. By choosing to invest in authentic parts, not only did I manage to fix the misfires once and for all, but I also achieved significant savings-nearly half the price compared to traditional retail options.
Throughout the video, I provide step-by-step guidance on diagnosing the misfire issue, emphasizing the importance of quality parts and where to source them without breaking the bank. You'll see the comparison between the aftermarket and genuine parts, the replacement process, and the noticeable performance improvement post-repair.
Whether you're a seasoned mechanic or a car enthusiast looking to tackle your vehicle's issues, this video offers valuable insights into making informed decisions about car parts and avoiding the false economy of cheaper alternatives. Join me in this repair journey on a 1999 Lexus ES 300 and learn how to ensure reliability and savings by choosing the right parts from the right places.

I have a 99 coach addition. Tranny went out at 100k got a junk yard tranny and had similar issues. Found out not using od solenoid was causing issues. So more I used overdrive solenoid better it got. Also oil filter in the trany is a mesh filter to avoid fuel starvation. I am sharing this info to whomsoever will help. Thank you for the video. My car does not have problem shown in the video.
So stick with mesh or switch to sponge?
Mesh is what you want because fiber clogs up and starves the transmission. When turning I would loose oil pressure to trany and loose power. I think leaving trany in overdrive all the time leads up to this because as soon as I started engaging and disengaging overdrive had instant improvement.
Very nice.👌
Search for parts on bell Lexus out of Scottsdale way cheaper! And yes I’ve been burned on cheap vvti solenoids before. Was even branded as real denso or Toyota oem with a seller with thousands of reviews. But it was fake garbage. I only ever order from bell now or Toyota if it’s cheaper. I’ve heard of ayayama but haven’t had it yet
I've seen their listings on Amazon and eBay. For that particular VVTi valve (153300A010) I'm seeing it for $109.77 through them.
@@RickTroutner true, as I watched the vid more I saw you had all sorts of dealers you sourced from so you got it down lol.
Thanks for the info. I was just about to take my 2000 es to a shop because I’m stumped. Had misfire codes in 1,3 and 5 cylinders but would run ok until operating temperature which then would seem to smother itself. Turned out the bank 2 cat was plugged. I hollowed out bank 2 cat and discovered that bank 1 cat was already hollow and its contents were stuck before the third cat. I cleared the exhaust and installed new plugs, coils packs, fuel injectors and vvt solenoids (cheap eBay ones). It now misfires on #1,#2 and #3??? I searched high and low thinking I created a vacuum leak somewhere in the process to no avail. Repositioning the plugs, coils and injectors did not change the misfire location. Do you think the $40 (pair) vvt solenoids could be the culprit? I already threw out the old ones so can’t use those to decipher. Thanks in advance. Really hate to throw in the towel.
I can't speak to the other issues but It was very clear once I got the second pair of cheap solenoids from Amazon and using that diagnostic Android app when I put them on that the other bank of cylinders started having the sporadic misfires so the only thing I can say is that If it only affects one bank or another it's a good place to start. Depending on how much money you want to throw at it it may be worth ordering those ones from amayama.com since in total it's just under a $100 shipped
That evaporative fuel pressure of 170psi is wayyy over wrong
Yes I believe it's multiplying the true value by 10. Either way it was useful to see how it changes wheb diagnosing a P0446. If it was 170PSI my car would've exploded.
