The most detailed rundown on vvt have come across. 1st class presentation and very interesting comments.Congrats to you and your wife on the next addition to your family.
@@GoTechTraining When it is said "stretched timming chain" is it literally "stretched" ?? I just can't wrap my mind around the concept of a metal chain phisycaly stretching 🤷
Mike to answer the question on why we pulse with modulate the actuator solenoid is as follows. On GM vehicles a 50% modulation is the hold position for the cam phaser. In other words, at 50% the magnetic field surrounding the solenoid is strong enough to hold the plunger in its middle position. This blocks all the oil passages. No oil flows in or out of the cam phaser. A higher percentage allows the oil to flow into one side of the phaser and exhaust out the other side, creating the movement of the phaser. The process is reversed ( less than 50%) to move the cam phaser in the opposite direction. If the ECM were to use a 100% PWM on the solenoid, it would very quickly burn out the windings in the solenoid or damage the driver in the ECM. This is why the ECM doesn't use a 100% on-time modulation on any device it controls by PWM. I hope this clears this up for you. thanks for all your training videos.
I had fault code P1007 and P1014 on Peugeot 207 car could not start I just cleaned it and bingo it started again. Be careful the symptom initially looks like a fuel problem, don’t replace your fuel pump just yet. Thanks for the video!
Hello dear friend I wanted first of all that I enjoy hearing you lecture and teach Second thing you said it is not the mechanic's fault that there is dirt in the engine Some of them do have vehicles that come to me in the garage that I remove the valve covers protest there a lot of silicone that penetrates the rubber into the valves
Congratulations with your new arrival. I knew very little about vvti before this video very helpful. When doing a timing chain you usually have to blow air into the camshaft gallery to get the timing to go back to base timing. Instead of doing this can you just disconnect the solenoid and run the engine. Many thanks for the information.
Awesome lesson. Thanks for covering all the bases. I've been running into a lot of vvt lately (nissan 3.5) that have had intermittent issues. Most have had very poor oil quality. One or two were fixed by oil changes, but I had one I was called back to after a few weeks it threw codes for both banks. Will have to run the scope and data pid checks to see what is going on.
I'm not sure, but will have to dig further with the scope to find out for sure, checking base timing and operation of the phasers. Customer said whoever had the vehicle before him "just had the timing chain replaced".. of course, that could have been 100,000 miles ago...
An oil pressure test adapter would be kinda interesting. If after a few quick tests, it might lead to recommending another engine. An oil change and new phasers might help, what else is left cam bores in heads or lower end. Mike is right, oil change intervals are crucial. 1 a lot of vehicles are leased.2 a, oil change intervals can be 6000 miles or more. b,OE says oil consumption of 1500miles per quart is ok. 3 owner never checks oil until light comes on. Perfect Storm.
@@GoTechTraining yeah , I have been change all part only left the oil pump but the customer refuse to change due costly. So only way to settle this car , few times adjustment of software to turn down the advanced cam degree, then only tune back up power the engine unless this car will parking here forever.😅
Mike, awesome explanation just what i needed to know. You never disappoint will miss the classes but hey good luck to you and the family. All the best Shaun.
I fix one of these for someone that cheap Walmart oil knocked the sensor. I warned him before doing it that oil had 800 miles on it and it smelled burnt and it was black . Not sure if it was Coincidence but it has been 4 months now and same thing. It’s coming into my shop tomorrow I’ll let you know what I find .
Hi there this is very useful video. Thank you for that. I face a stranger problem with a chevy cruz 1.6L 2013. When the oil is cold the car run smoothly but after 15 min the car loosing power and code p0011 and or p0014 come up. Change oil, camshaft filter, values, oil pump, filter.. cooler and other ideas?..
Hey Ronen IT, thanks for watching! I suggest you take a look at one of our more recent videos covering a common issue on the 1.6L maybe it's whats wrong with yours...th-cam.com/video/F9Arl6vEBJY/w-d-xo.html Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
I don't think flushes now a days is ever a good Idea but rater a recipe for disaster. Just my opinion. I always tell customers to use synthetic oil in my experience synthetics are less likely to sludge and I have proven in videos where synthetic actually started to clean the engine.
My girlfriend bought her 2012 verono in Late August of 2021,it’s now February 22 2022, car has 120k when she bought it it has maybe 123k on it now ,it been in the shop 2 times already p0014 and p0011, granite it has a warranty, but it now has to go back in with same flipping codes!!
I just changed my oil & filter a few weeks before problems that gave me a P0011. Used the same brand and weight of synthetic oil as before, but this time opted for the 'high mileage' version. (Car has 130K). The screens on my solenoids look clean and clear, as do the oil and cams in general. So any chance the 'high mileage' oil is causing the problems? Car idles fine and runs well at higher speeds and level surfaces, but struggles on hills and lower speeds.
I highly doubt that the oil being high mileage or not affected it. My gut says you have an intermittent failure. Mike Becker, Senior Technical Instructor
About a buck O'four into the video, you're using a jumper to actuate the vvt solenoids manually and it raised a concern or two for me. I've met a couple engines that can idle pretty well on a stretched/jumped chain. Let's say the chain is stretched and jumped one tooth. Is there a point in your diagnosis that you have to ponder and decide not to jumper the solenoid? Is the potential there, with a jumped chain, to over advance the timing to the point you cause valves to crash? If so, how do you decide your next move?
Hey Shaun, ohhh thats a great point. Never ran into that before. My guesstimate would be if the vehicle jumped time enough to crash with vvt command...it likely wouldn't be running. But honestly, I have no idea what would/could happen in the scenario. My curiosity is peaked, that's for sure! Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
Hey, thanks for watching! Great question, i've never seen one...would be an interesting diag though. What do you think, oil pressure overcomes the broken spring and engages vvt as soon as the PSI is high enough? Mike Becker, Senior Technical Instructor
If your looking for the fix.. your super low on oil.. or your vvt solenoids both at the same time mechanically failed but tests good electrically which I highly doubt.. these codes mean something is mechanically wrong so look there especially if a p0300 is attributed
ok since i sent the last question maybe you can answer this one. i changed out the cam phasers the timing chain the guides and the tensioner. and the water pump and chains and guides. so it has been running rather well since then. now my girls called and said she is getting p0011 p0016 p0017 and it is running a bit rough! so based on those being cam over advanced which is hardly possible what might i look for? i did install new cam solenoids and then got tons of codes. so i put the old solenoids back in. in testing them i got clicks and 12 ohms so i figure those were good. i told my girl to reset the codes and let me know the first code she gets just in case the other codes are just from the first code. so do you have any other ideas? maybe a crank sensor it kind of doubt cam sensors if both cams are setting codes.
Can I make a request? Communications network and all the different types of networks and signals. It's real hard diagnosing a network problem as an example on a VW when you don't know what the K line signal is supposed to look like or how it really works. I've read it takes priority over the CAN. Also can a Lin bus signal take out a CAN bus or any other combination of network signals like that? If you have a CAN line being taken out by a module how do you know the Lin bus for example isn't taking it out at the gateway or something like that? So many questions.
Hi!I have a P0014 and P0011 code even when i changed oil and solenoids.The mechanic says to replace engine.Not sure if it’s the timing belt or my engine needs to get changed.Please advise
Hey, Mike. How would you check duty cycle with a multi meter and how would you know if the reading is ON Time or OFF Time if you did not have a scanner to watch the pids? I have a multi meter with Duty Cycle and I was watching a video from Eric.O about an EGR valve issue and did not fully explain the duty cycle with the meter and how he hooks it up. He shows a display on the meter and says that it is the OFF time and not the On time. That you for the excellent video as always!
Hey BB MD, thanks for watching! Let me answer your question with a question...does it matter? IF you have nothing to compare the duty cycle against (the PCM's command read on a scanner) then why does the % matter? Simply checking that there's power and ground to the solenoid when running is probably enough. Hook one lead into the PWM power feed and the other lead into ground. Most meters aren't fast enough to read the signal and will average the voltage. you should see something other that battery+ and 0. Does that kinda make sense? Mike Becker, Senior Technical Instructor
Yes, Sir.It does. I have an OTC multi meter with Duty Cycle. I was just trying to use the feature when my Autel Maxidas is not with me. Also, Eric was only trying to see if the PCM was duty cycling the EGR valve.
My solenoid screens are clean and the plunger moves when voltage is applied, but it doesn't move much. The oil ports only open about the width of a very small flat screwdriver tip. Is this normal or should those holes be fully open?
Most of the problems I come across with vvt are lack of use. IE. NOT being revved hard enough for the vvt to kick in. I bought a Honda that was sluggish and had idle drop problems the previous owner never revved it beyond 2000 rpm, the same can be said of a Toyota which probably never exceeded 40mph and had never been revved by the lady owner. I changed the oil and gradually began revving them up to the rev limiters and all of the sudden on the Honda the idle drop problems stopped and then with full vvt working it went like a scalded cat. the Toyota took a little longer for the new oil to get through the cam phaser and ungum it, but eventually this succeeded and now is transformed. Be very careful of fault codes on vvt systems often parts are not faulty they just need to be gently persuaded to work again. Mini owners take note ! I have resurrected many later engines by revving and an oil change,however a diagnostic machine is required and a procedure to be followed, but not an new timing chain kit !!! if the chain is rattling unfortunately it may have been left too late for this to work.
Hey Mazdaman, thanks for watching! That all depends on the type of system. This Buick in this video actually phases the cams at idle. VVT or VTEC operates a bit differently, only turning on at that higher RPM. Mike Becker, Senior Technical Instructor
i changed the timing chain and phasers it had a p0018 now i have an engine stumble when it gets warm. no codes i can hear the intake cam rattle some intermittent if i unplug the intake solenoid that rattle goes away. it has yet to set a code. so how long will it take to set a code if the intake vvt solenoid is going bad? also, my engine has 2 exhaust cams and phasers so both the cams little notches are set to 10 ish o'clock . found that out the hard way. so i wonder of the intake phaser is failing. the engine rpms vary lots at stops after the car has driving maybe 20 miles and if i put it in neutral it will smooth out or if i reve it some. so does this sound like the phasers may be bad or the solenoids. thanks
if you replace the poo13 and p0014 vvt solenoid, why does the codes still show up for inspection? The engine light went off after driving 30 miles once these were replaced.
That's a good question, a chain that is tensioned too tight won't cause correlation DTC's. But can cause premature timing chain failure and chain noise. Ryan W, Technical Instructor
@@GoTechTraining how about engine oil spec?is there any different after using between 5w-30 switching to 5w-40 both fully syn? I am guessing if thickness oil can cure the angle of degree ?
Hey Jeremy, great question! Sometimes you do due to clearance issues. Other times you can secure the chain and sneak it in. Depends on access to the tensioner really. Mike Becker, Senior Technical Instructor
Where are you guys Located? I'm having this issue and a Toyota service center couldn't fix it (they replaced the battery) and the CEL came back. I'm on the Fort Lauderdale, FL area, looking for a mechanic like you if possible.
I really hope you see this another videos like a year old but my cars having a p 0 0 11 code keeps coming back every 3 days I get something fixed I maintained my car very well kept on my oil changes every 5000 miles. I've had the Cam phasers replaced had the timing built warrantied out solenoids replaced multiple times in the code keeps coming back I don't know if there doing something wrong or my cars is ready to go please give me some advice
10 Titan LE 5.6 flex fuel, new camshaft and crankshaft sensors, new VVT solenoids, new oil/filter new 02 sensors up and downstream. Keep getting p0011 rpms higher than normal and going through fuel like crazy. Any suggestions
Hey Jeremy, this Buick had about 120k on it. Depends on what repair was set to be performed. Could be hundreds, could be thousands potentially. Mike Becker, Senior Technical Instructor
What if you're a regular guy like me with a obd scanner and I get the code P0014 Bought a new Solenoid and the thing is stuck in, no mechanic wants to help me.
@1:31:30 Your statement that one tooth of the crankshaft sprocket = 6 deg. is misleading. The reluctor wheel has 60 parts, but I doubt that the sprocket has 60 teeth. I don't know exactly how many teeth the sprocket has, but i'd bet that tech B is right.
how can i delete the 2.4 Ecotec i have p0016 and p0017 codes and the engine has poor performance the codes set immediately. changed the crank sensor. i think the phaser/s failed but may have jumped time any ideas. so it sounds like it may have jumped a tooth on the chain. would these codes represent the chain to jump on the crank only. or might the phasers failed or cam to cam timing out if adjustment? the oil level was run low so maybe the guides failed? Does anyone have some ideas? i changed the vvt phasers and still get these codes. thanks
Hey, so a rich code and a timing type code. I suggest going after the P0014 first. The P0172 could be caused by the P0014. Inspect the oil first. Make sure it's clean, properally filled and the right viscosity. Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
I think my Chevy has expected values from 8-12 ohms. They measured around 10 ohms so that was good. Perhaps find the most common engine using the same solenoid to find the specs.
Gosh. I am Arabic and I am not fluent in English. In fact, I have been suffering from this warning for more than 8 months and I have not found a solution to this problem. I am using the car on a daily basis. The alarms I have are U1111 plus P0014 and P0011. My Car is Kia Optima 2011 2.4 GDI USA Rpm is normal around 600 to 650 Battrey 14.4 I have changed the solenoids And the Cam sensors The oil is 5w30 Filter is new and orginal But still The issue is there??!! Could you help me what I have to do?
Hi Alkathiri, the 2.4L Kia engine is that year is known for internal engine issues. That code may be set for an engine mechanical issue. It may be time to inspect the actual mechanical timing either with a lab-scope or by removing the front cover. Mike Becker, Senior Technical Instructor
Ohh I forgot to mention 1st time in they replaced timing chain and gears and vvt’s they even had the oil pan off, 2nd time they said something about a oil pump on the time if chain gear was bad, have no clue what the lady behind the counter was talking about.

How about the manufacturer of the vehicle won't do the first "break in" oil change till 7500 miles. When we all know it should be changed without the first couple thousand at most on initial break in where the most wear occurs
Ughh I hate that they got away from "break in" I know I did it on my newly purchased vehicle. 500 miles I changed the oil...every 3-4k since with full synthetic. Mike Becker, Senior Technical Instructor
ive changed a new 2018 camrys oil with 10K on the factory fill. sent it off to blackstone labs and they didn't seem too concerned with the amount of wear metals in the oil, or that it had done any long term damage. the vehicle has gone through 3 more 10k oil changes and now has 42k on it. but only time will tell glad its not my car.
I've been doing the maintenance on a fleet of Toyota rental cars for a number of years. They do no more than recommended maintenance and sometimes a little less. They often put over 160K on them and I've never seen any mechanical problems with the engines. Engine manufacturing has changed a lot in the past 40 years.
My friend, I want a book explaining car faults, a program, or a site that makes it easy for me to read faults and explain them with pictures or videos from your problem, brother
Jeremy, the short answer is yes, all cars have issues. The VVT epidemic right now does seem to be maintenance-related and not so much vehicle manufacturer related. Mike Becker, Senior Technical Instructor
@@GoTechTraining hey Mike! You're one of my favorite teachers! You're calm humble and relatable. I hope a case of a bad cam phaser will come on the 2.5l Toyota. Cheers
I don't know why engine oil flushes get such a bad rep. It's like not wanting to do a back flush on a plugged heater core because you're worried it might start leaking... They're definitely not a replacement for proper maintenance and I don't believe in doing them on a healthy engine but if your other options are engine replacement/overhaul then why not give it a shot? Ya you need to communicate with the customer but that's supposed to happen with _every_ work order...
The reasoning is because a flush looses stuff up that could plug up other areas. On a heater core flush you can get everything out. On an engine, stuff gets stuck...what if that flush causes a chunk of junk to get stuck and block a main oil feed to a cam? Then the cam fails...who's paying? Mike Becker, Senior Technical Instructor
@@GoTechTraining Customer pays as they were going to be buying an engine anyways. To be clear I don't believe in engine flushes as "routine maintenance". The times I've used them is when there is what seems like a mechanical problem with an engine on an older/abused vehicle where it's not worth the money to go through with the actual repair. Mainly I just get curious how oil flushes have such a taboo stigma to them. Sure there are risks but there are risks with everything. What if a vehicle comes in with a bad lifter and you opt to replace the lifters and the camshaft on that bank? What if _anything_ happens to that engine? No matter how unrelated... Drops a valve seat, spins a bearing, gets a dead hole... How are you going to explain that had nothing to do with your work...?
All good points. So you're saying when the customer is left with no choices an engine flush is potential repair...with the full understanding that it may or may not work and it may or may not cause more damage. I can live with that! :) Mike Becker, Senior Technical Instructor
@@GoTechTraining Plus they are especially good to do in the slow winter months. Who wants to be doing oil changes all day long when you can turn some of them into engine re&res??? ;)

Way above my head. I just wanted to know what components might need replacement for a 14 code...
I just changed my oil & filter a few weeks before problems that gave me a P0011. Used the same brand and weight of synthetic oil as before, but this time opted for the 'high mileage' version. (Car has 130K). The screens on my solenoids look clean and clear, as do the oil and cams in general. So any chance the 'high mileage' oil is causing the problems? Car idles fine and runs well at higher speeds and level surfaces, but struggles on hills and lower speeds.
I highly doubt that the oil being high mileage or not affected it. My gut says you have an intermittent failure.

@ New Level Auto, I was distracted. The position sensors moving would pose a problem.
I’m so late to your videos but do you still hold live videos? These are great
About a buck O'four into the video, you're using a jumper to actuate the vvt solenoids manually and it raised a concern or two for me. I've met a couple engines that can idle pretty well on a stretched/jumped chain. Let's say the chain is stretched and jumped one tooth. Is there a point in your diagnosis that you have to ponder and decide not to jumper the solenoid? Is the potential there, with a jumped chain, to over advance the timing to the point you cause valves to crash? If so, how do you decide your next move?
Hey Shaun, ohhh thats a great point. Never ran into that before. My guesstimate would be if the vehicle jumped time enough to crash with vvt command...it likely wouldn't be running. But honestly, I have no idea what would/could happen in the scenario. My curiosity is peaked, that's for sure!

Thank you so much for this video.
One question has a counterbalance spring ever been found broken on the other side of the spool valve?
Hey, thanks for watching! Great question, i've never seen one...would be an interesting diag though. What do you think, oil pressure overcomes the broken spring and engages vvt as soon as the PSI is high enough?
Mike Becker, Senior Technical Instructor
If your looking for the fix.. your super low on oil.. or your vvt solenoids both at the same time mechanically failed but tests good electrically which I highly doubt.. these codes mean something is mechanically wrong so look there especially if a p0300 is attributed
Those are both great things to check. Oil level and viscosity are super critical!

2012 kia Sorento gdi engine. Code p0014 and p0011 any ideas?
what did you change?
ok since i sent the last question maybe you can answer this one. i changed out the cam phasers the timing chain the guides and the tensioner. and the water pump and chains and guides. so it has been running rather well since then. now my girls called and said she is getting p0011 p0016 p0017 and it is running a bit rough! so based on those being cam over advanced which is hardly possible what might i look for? i did install new cam solenoids and then got tons of codes. so i put the old solenoids back in. in testing them i got clicks and 12 ohms so i figure those were good. i told my girl to reset the codes and let me know the first code she gets just in case the other codes are just from the first code. so do you have any other ideas? maybe a crank sensor it kind of doubt cam sensors if both cams are setting codes.
Can I make a request? Communications network and all the different types of networks and signals. It's real hard diagnosing a network problem as an example on a VW when you don't know what the K line signal is supposed to look like or how it really works. I've read it takes priority over the CAN. Also can a Lin bus signal take out a CAN bus or any other combination of network signals like that? If you have a CAN line being taken out by a module how do you know the Lin bus for example isn't taking it out at the gateway or something like that? So many questions.
So many good questions. I've thought about doing a video on network stuff. Stay tuned!

Hi!I have a P0014 and P0011 code even when i changed oil and solenoids.The mechanic says to replace engine.Not sure if it’s the timing belt or my engine needs to get changed.Please advise

Hey, Mike. How would you check duty cycle with a multi meter and how would you know if the reading is ON Time or OFF Time if you did not have a scanner to watch the pids? I have a multi meter with Duty Cycle and I was watching a video from Eric.O about an EGR valve issue and did not fully explain the duty cycle with the meter and how he hooks it up. He shows a display on the meter and says that it is the OFF time and not the On time. That you for the excellent video as always!
Hey BB MD, thanks for watching! Let me answer your question with a question...does it matter? IF you have nothing to compare the duty cycle against (the PCM's command read on a scanner) then why does the % matter? Simply checking that there's power and ground to the solenoid when running is probably enough. Hook one lead into the PWM power feed and the other lead into ground. Most meters aren't fast enough to read the signal and will average the voltage. you should see something other that battery+ and 0. Does that kinda make sense?
Mike Becker, Senior Technical Instructor
Yes, Sir.It does. I have an OTC multi meter with Duty Cycle. I was just trying to use the feature when my Autel Maxidas is not with me. Also, Eric was only trying to see if the PCM was duty cycling the EGR valve.
My solenoid screens are clean and the plunger moves when voltage is applied, but it doesn't move much. The oil ports only open about the width of a very small flat screwdriver tip. Is this normal or should those holes be fully open?
Hey, usually they open pretty a decent amount. I'd say it should open further than a screwdriver tip.
Mike Becker, Senior Technical Instructor
Most of the problems I come across with vvt are lack of use. IE. NOT being revved hard enough for the vvt to kick in. I bought a Honda that was sluggish and had idle drop problems the previous owner never revved it beyond 2000 rpm, the same can be said of a Toyota which probably never exceeded 40mph and had never been revved by the lady owner. I changed the oil and gradually began revving them up to the rev limiters and all of the sudden on the Honda the idle drop problems stopped and then with full vvt working it went like a scalded cat. the Toyota took a little longer for the new oil to get through the cam phaser and ungum it, but eventually this succeeded and now is transformed.
Be very careful of fault codes on vvt systems often parts are not faulty they just need to be gently persuaded to work again. Mini owners take note ! I have resurrected many later engines by revving and an oil change,however a diagnostic machine is required and a procedure to be followed, but not an new timing chain kit !!! if the chain is rattling unfortunately it may have been left too late for this to work.
Hey Mazdaman, thanks for watching! That all depends on the type of system. This Buick in this video actually phases the cams at idle. VVT or VTEC operates a bit differently, only turning on at that higher RPM.
Mike Becker, Senior Technical Instructor
i changed the timing chain and phasers it had a p0018 now i have an engine stumble when it gets warm. no codes i can hear the intake cam rattle some intermittent if i unplug the intake solenoid that rattle goes away. it has yet to set a code. so how long will it take to set a code if the intake vvt solenoid is going bad? also, my engine has 2 exhaust cams and phasers so both the cams little notches are set to 10 ish o'clock . found that out the hard way. so i wonder of the intake phaser is failing. the engine rpms vary lots at stops after the car has driving maybe 20 miles and if i put it in neutral it will smooth out or if i reve it some. so does this sound like the phasers may be bad or the solenoids. thanks
if you replace the poo13 and p0014 vvt solenoid, why does the codes still show up for inspection? The engine light went off after driving 30 miles once these were replaced.
Any idea why the P0014 code would come one and then go off an hour later and then come back on a couple of hours later?
is that possible if the tensioner chain push too tight will cause the angle of cam wont moving and over advanced?p0014,p0011?
That's a good question, a chain that is tensioned too tight won't cause correlation DTC's. But can cause premature timing chain failure and chain noise.
Ryan W, Technical Instructor
@@GoTechTraining how about engine oil spec?is there any different after using between 5w-30 switching to 5w-40 both fully syn? I am guessing if thickness oil can cure the angle of degree ?
do you have to take the entire timing chain off just to replace the phaser ?
Hey Jeremy, great question! Sometimes you do due to clearance issues. Other times you can secure the chain and sneak it in. Depends on access to the tensioner really.
Mike Becker, Senior Technical Instructor
Where are you guys Located? I'm having this issue and a Toyota service center couldn't fix it (they replaced the battery) and the CEL came back. I'm on the Fort Lauderdale, FL area, looking for a mechanic like you if possible.

@1:31:30 Your statement that one tooth of the crankshaft sprocket = 6 deg. is misleading. The reluctor wheel has 60 parts, but I doubt that the sprocket has 60 teeth. I don't know exactly how many teeth the sprocket has, but i'd bet that tech B is right.
anti chuckle he is referring to the teeth on the crankshaft sensor reluctor not the sprocket that’s drives the chain.
@@jmdiagnostics2869 Go back and review it starting @ 1:31:00. He confused the reluctor and the sprocket.

how can i delete the 2.4 Ecotec i have p0016 and p0017 codes and the engine has poor performance the codes set immediately. changed the crank sensor. i think the phaser/s failed but may have jumped time any ideas. so it sounds like it may have jumped a tooth on the chain. would these codes represent the chain to jump on the crank only. or might the phasers failed or cam to cam timing out if adjustment? the oil level was run low so maybe the guides failed? Does anyone have some ideas? i changed the vvt phasers and still get these codes. thanks
Hello there. I'v got p0172, p0014 on Citroen ds3 1.4 95ps 2010. Any idea?
Hey, so a rich code and a timing type code. I suggest going after the P0014 first. The P0172 could be caused by the P0014. Inspect the oil first. Make sure it's clean, properally filled and the right viscosity.
Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
I have not really been able to find the resistance value for the vvt solenoid anywhere for a renault clio 4 2019 tce 90, do you know?
I think my Chevy has expected values from 8-12 ohms. They measured around 10 ohms so that was good. Perhaps find the most common engine using the same solenoid to find the specs.
why have most car companys switched to 0w20 oil ? my 2012 corolla uses 0w20 . my mom's 2013 honda crv uses 0w20 oil too.
Reduces friction, I think that's the main reason.

Hi Alkathiri, the 2.4L Kia engine is that year is known for internal engine issues. That code may be set for an engine mechanical issue. It may be time to inspect the actual mechanical timing either with a lab-scope or by removing the front cover.

I did this the hard way 😂
How about the manufacturer of the vehicle won't do the first "break in" oil change till 7500 miles. When we all know it should be changed without the first couple thousand at most on initial break in where the most wear occurs
Ughh I hate that they got away from "break in" I know I did it on my newly purchased vehicle. 500 miles I changed the oil...every 3-4k since with full synthetic.
Mike Becker, Senior Technical Instructor
ive changed a new 2018 camrys oil with 10K on the factory fill. sent it off to blackstone labs and they didn't seem too concerned with the amount of wear metals in the oil, or that it had done any long term damage. the vehicle has gone through 3 more 10k oil changes and now has 42k on it. but only time will tell glad its not my car.
I've been doing the maintenance on a fleet of Toyota rental cars for a number of years. They do no more than recommended maintenance and sometimes a little less. They often put over 160K on them and I've never seen any mechanical problems with the engines. Engine manufacturing has changed a lot in the past 40 years.
My friend, I want a book explaining car faults, a program, or a site that makes it easy for me to read faults and explain them with pictures or videos from your problem, brother

I don't know why engine oil flushes get such a bad rep. It's like not wanting to do a back flush on a plugged heater core because you're worried it might start leaking... They're definitely not a replacement for proper maintenance and I don't believe in doing them on a healthy engine but if your other options are engine replacement/overhaul then why not give it a shot? Ya you need to communicate with the customer but that's supposed to happen with _every_ work order...
The reasoning is because a flush looses stuff up that could plug up other areas. On a heater core flush you can get everything out. On an engine, stuff gets stuck...what if that flush causes a chunk of junk to get stuck and block a main oil feed to a cam? Then the cam fails...who's paying?
Mike Becker, Senior Technical Instructor
@@GoTechTraining Customer pays as they were going to be buying an engine anyways. To be clear I don't believe in engine flushes as "routine maintenance". The times I've used them is when there is what seems like a mechanical problem with an engine on an older/abused vehicle where it's not worth the money to go through with the actual repair. Mainly I just get curious how oil flushes have such a taboo stigma to them. Sure there are risks but there are risks with everything. What if a vehicle comes in with a bad lifter and you opt to replace the lifters and the camshaft on that bank? What if _anything_ happens to that engine? No matter how unrelated... Drops a valve seat, spins a bearing, gets a dead hole... How are you going to explain that had nothing to do with your work...?
All good points. So you're saying when the customer is left with no choices an engine flush is potential repair...with the full understanding that it may or may not work and it may or may not cause more damage. I can live with that! :)

@@GoTechTraining Plus they are especially good to do in the slow winter months. Who wants to be doing oil changes all day long when you can turn some of them into engine re&res??? ;)
