Performing VVT Service Properly

Performing VVT Service Properly

When servicing a VVT issue, take your time and follow these tips.

A customer states that they’ve been experiencing one or all of the following: a rough or unstable idle, abnormal engine noises, engine stalling, lack of power or reduced fuel economy.

It sounds like it could be a variable-valve timing (VVT) issue.

Now let’s pump the brakes for a moment and let’s not rush into things. Variable-valve timing is the process of altering the timing and/or duration of a valve lift event. Modern VVT systems are actively adjusting the intake and exhaust camshaft positions at all times for the best possible engine efficiency and operation.
