Let me know if this works for you in the comments below. Variable valve timing is very common nowadays for newer engines. And can cause many problems if your routine automotive maintenance is not kept up.
Don't waste your money on repairs before checking oil level and condition and or cleaning the VVT valve timing solenoids. If you have any of these diagnostic trouble codes stored in your ECM.
Also if your engine oil is in poor condition and starting to slug up I would recommend doing an engine oil flush to prevent further variable valve timing problems.

I use Mobil 1 and I just changed the oil the other day and I decided to pull the cam actuator and check the screens. To my delight they were very clean , just a few tiny specks of debris. this is the first time I've checked the valve timing solenoid I pulled it out and it was very clean screens were very clean . I think the previous owners must have had it serviced reg too.

My 2009 malibu with 175K just threw a CEL. Used my OBDII scanner and got the P0013 code. In all 175K miles its never used oil between changes, but just went and checked the oil it was low!! Added about 3/4 quart and CEL gone. Thanks for saving me from embarassment (or geting ripped off) at the mechanic!!!

[@bobjohnson8206]

I replaced mine before I had any codes. I then took the old ones and cleaned them by using a sonic cleaner. I always change my oil and filter every 3,000 miles so they looked pretty clean. I ran them through the sonic cleaner twice and it did remove some light granules. After cleaning I put them into a container and filled it up to the bottom of the plunger with oil so they don't rust. They are now ready to use if and when I need them.

[@farrisholyfield]

My friend ran his oil low and way overdue car started running horrendous multiple cylinder misfires on all 6 cylinders. Codes p0018 and P0022 led me to believe this was the problem. Changed oil and took it a few miles to wash off the engine at the car wash. By the time I got done and cleared all the codes it was running like nothing ever happened.

I had an oil change done before leaving Rapid City and that solved the issue. Thanks for posting this info. I am new to Volvo’s and I’ve heard they can be pretty sensitive if not maintained properly.

Changed his oil, drove around for about 10 minutes, parked and shutoff engine for a few minute, and when I started it up the light had cleared and went and passed the emissions test!

First thank you for your video, it was very informative and easy to follow. I only 2013 Buick Verano, when I purchased the vehicle it was at 20,000 miles. I am now at 85,000 miles and have experienced that code on my vehicle three times. Along with that code popping up my car will also shut off while in idle, this would typically happen after I start my car drove and then come to a complete stop. Each time I was able to start the car again and everything would be fine. I took my vehicle to the Buick dealer due to this engine code 3 separate times. Twice they told me they had to replace the camshaft. This last time which was about a month ago they told me that the code was due to low oil. I got the old changed and he told me that my car will be fine however my car is still shutting off while I’m driving it. They also turn the code off and now it’s not coming back on, But I’m wondering if my car is shutting off key to a camshaft iss but I’m wondering if my car is shutting off due to a camshaft issue

[@lockwor]

After having my R56 N14 engine rebuilt it was running really tough at low RPM, ok above ~2000 RPM. Taking out the vanos as you describe and cleaning it twice seems to have solved the problem. I also took out and cleaned the one-way oil check valve just below the vanos. I could see considerable sludge on the screens of the vanos, I assume residual from machining the block. In no way to I fault the machine shop, this was a very small amount of crud but I expect enough to require removing and cleaning the vanos screens twice. Really hoping that's all that's needed. Thank you for the video.

Talked to my tech, he mentioned that it was a good idea, as it is likely the OP has gone down (277k mi). There hasn't even been a hickup. Along with this screwed in some new plugs (old were yellow and torqued in NGK) and a whole set of new coils. So will be changing the oil Friday, and switching to some rotella.

I got the PDF file and it shows it can be even triggered by a coolant temperature sensor or oil pressure pump , and so on . I tested all the sensors and they all are working according to manual procedure. I tell you : these new cars are not worth buying at all .

I recently picked up a 12 year old Buick for my wife. It passed my scanner with flying colors but right after I buy it we notice it hesitated a little at start up sometimes. Nothing serious and I wasn't real concerned for as old as the car is. . I changed the oil/filter and air filter just for the sake of buying a used car. Both were just a little dirty. Nothing serious. I was not expecting the start up hesitation to go away but it did. My wife noticed zero hesitation after a week of driving and swears whatever I did fixed it. I was baffled that it went away. Maybe it's the clean oil. Or maybe its the Wix oil filter which is noted for its quality check valve. I dunno.

Hi, I have a 06 Infiniti M35. I got the ignition coils replaced. It still giving me that code and now gasoline rotten eggs smell in car. Can you tell me what it could be? It's P0010 only one coming up AND it has stalled on me once as I was slowing to turn on service road.

[@Stichyi]

Normally rotten egg smell is a good indicator the catalytic converter is starting to clog

Is a 2012 Yukon Denali 6.2l Vortec with AFM a VVT engine?

Hi, can P0022 also be related to the same problem?

[@Wes_5kyph1]

could this be causing issues without throwing a code?

[@Elites-asthetic]

Does this also throw the code p0016

[@madnesscombatbros]

how do you remove the screens without them braking? I habven't taken mine out yet just trying to figure things out before I start..

[@FlatRateMechanic]

I just remove them for the sake of the video I would not recommend taking them off, just cleaning them.

[@jasonbeaulieu4979]

Michael Hronas there are no brakes on them. Brakes are at each wheel.

I have code p0010 says variable valve timing screen need replaced but I have a rattle and it’s very loud now after a bit of driving . The car will shut off I have to start it again. And it’ll do it a few more times til I reach destination. I have a 2009 Honda Accord no oil in car.

Hello the Great man I have a Reaunalt megan 1.6 manual and I checked by code reader and I find, P0010 A camshaft position A control Circuit/ open bank 1 and actually I don't know from where I have to check the car?

[@shobud7561]

Will this solenoid cause the engine on a Honda Accord to rattle on start up ?

[@AnythingEverythingGh]

Yes

[@mariomoreno8658]

thanks for the info ...I got questions if some can help me 1. I need to disconnect the Battery to remove the Solenoid. 2. we need an special tool to complete the Job ?3. what should I use to clean the part ? Thanks

[@philfrancisco2708]

good idea to disconnect the battery when working on electronics. For tools you just need a flat head screw driver and a 10mm scocket and ratchet . you can use brake cleaner to clean it off

[@mariomoreno8658]

Thanks , so , sounds like very easy to do it by my self if no special tolls are need ...I will try on the weekend ..thanks again
