Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather tools and parts required for the repair.
• Disconnect the negative battery terminal to ensure safety while working on electrical components.

2. Change Engine Oil

• Sub-steps:
  1. Drain the old engine oil using a wrench to remove the oil drain plug.
  2. Replace the oil filter with a new part.
  3. Refill the engine with manufacturer-recommended oil type and capacity.
• Tools Required: Oil filter wrench, socket set, oil drain pan.

3. Replace VVT Solenoid

• Sub-steps:
  1. Locate the VVT solenoid on the engine (typically near the valve cover).

  3. Remove the mounting bolts and take out the old solenoid.
  4. Install the new VVT solenoid and secure it with the mounting bolts.
  5. Reconnect the electrical connector.
• Tools Required: Socket set, torque wrench.

4. Inspect and Adjust Timing Chain/Belt

• Sub-steps:
  1. Remove any necessary covers to access the timing chain/belt.
  2. Check for proper tension; if it is loose, adjust or replace as necessary.
  3. Ensure that the timing marks on the camshaft and crankshaft align correctly.
  4. Reinstall the covers and secure them properly.
• Tools Required: Torque wrench, socket set, timing tool set (if available).

5. Recheck Camshaft and Crankshaft Sensors

• Sub-steps:
  1. Inspect the sensors for physical damage or improper sealing.
  2. Test the sensors using a multimeter for proper voltage and resistance.
  3. Replace any faulty sensors.
• Tools Required: Multimeter, socket set.
