- This video shows a little of what Can a P0011 or a p0021 really is.. this came off from a Nissan Maxima 3.5L.. and I also show how to test the sensor to see if it’s actually bad before cleaning..
I went ahead and cut some parts of the video due to because if I would’ve left it without cuts then you’ll be watching a 40 + mins video...
You are a hero bro no lie aww man I've been looking for a week now for this same problem on my 04 and I randomly clicked on your vids, thanks a million for real
Dude i have the same problem since 4 weeks ago...
Thanks brother for the excellent detailed instructions and the clear camera footage. You have truly helped myself and many others. Great respect and keep up the good work.
Thanks for the straight to the point video. This was exactly what i needed to see.
Very detailed, very useful. Thank you so much for sharing this repair.
I couldnt find any other video to really explain the vvt solenoid as far as location and process this was awesome
Thanks dude, clearing my P0011 in the morning with any luck.
Good to go dude. I've had this code off and on for a long time. Usually right before I'm due for an oil change, I thought being 1/4-1/2qt low might trigger it. Anyway, I pulled the solenoid out and cleaned it up good, there was a lot of gunk after 150k miles.
Great video. I ordered solenoid gasket PN 23797-2Y50A ($6 ea) and upper intake plenum gasket PN 14032-8J10A ($40) from Nissan for my 02 GLE
very detailed. one of the better videos for nissans specifically. thanks so much for this!
Amazing the amount of crud buildup on the screen. What a stupid design from the manufacturers. You are the only one I have seen to show this. Thank you for sharing.
The design is fine. The issue is with the owners failure to open the hood more than once a year. Te once a year is to add washer fluid. True. M A I N T E N A N C E
Actually a great design. It's like that so you can maintenance it. Which you should be doing to your car anyways. Always know what needs to be maintenanced. Cars dont do it on their own.
Mine 05 Nissan Xterra 4.0., was not the VVT solenoid, but the bank 2 camshaft sensor. I had a code for the camshaft sensor awhile back (p0340 or 0345, whichever is bank 2) and replaced it with a sensor that I got on ebay that was supposed to be a smp PC461 that the guy had in bulk, no box. I paid $8.98 shipped for it. So, who knows exactly what it was, but it lasted for 30k miles and was still working fine, except I was getting a P0021 code for that bank and for the last 5k miles or so, it would take a few turns before she would start. Suspecting this sensor, I decided to change it before I bought a new VVT solenoid. I got a New Hitachi CPS0013 (these are the revised versions, that has the metal tip) and installed it and that solved the problem, no more P0021 code. I was also getting a random P0420 code and once I got the p0430 code. The p0420 code didn't start appearing until after I changed the 02 sensor, due to having a p1158, p1031 code, which are linked to bank 1 sensor 1 02 sensor. Once I replaced the 02 sensor all codes except the p0021 went away, however a day later, I started getting a p0420 code, I could clear it and it may stay off for a day or so or it may come back on the same day. However, there are a lot of things that can trip a p0420 code, but I went ahead and did the lacquer thinner trick in the gas, to see if that could help clean the converter, just in case it was getting clogged. I put one gallon of lacquer thinner to just under half a tank of gas. It's possible that the camshaft sensor issue was helping to trip a p0420 code due to misfire or timing being too advanced. Not sure just yet, but as on now, since I replaced the camshaft sensor, no codes have returned. If something changes I will let you know.
Best video on CZcams.im gonna work on my Nissan right now since I have this two codes
Great video, I was trying to figure out how to fix mine but no one good info, your video was very helpful, thanks again.
Thank you so much for the step by step detailed explanation.
Thank you for the detailed explanation!
bboyturbo777 you welcome , saves you money from buying a new one. Test it, clean it before wasting money.
Dude, last video I watched about this the guy called the solenoid a sensor. You my friend called it an actuator, and discussed testing. You are a mechanic not a parts changer. Good work!!!
What did you have it connected to when you tested it
d v sorry for late reply , my notifications doesn’t tell me all the time .. had it connected to the battery using alligator clips
I always use an engine flush when I change my oil , Amsoil or Liqui-Moly . I think this will prevent any clogging / accumulation of oil deposits .
True i seems to found that out very handy too, or i do oil change every 5k miles
Jbolanos 10 You rock!!! I was going nuts trying to find out the name of the VVT/Solenoid for my 2004 Maxima 3.5 I just had the valve covers replaced a week ago. A job that I could've done but I hurt my hand. Soooo It cost me almost $800 bucs Parts and labor. $300. for the covers, $180.for three coils. And $300. for the labor...quite an expensive job. So to the point here. I started to see oil leaking from which I thought was the valve cover. Down to the alternator. Also oil had splashed up by the fuse box on the right. I cleaned up the oil. Took the car on some errands and then checked by the solenoid again....a little oil was seen. And I found it was coming from the housing for the solenoid.
Possibly a gasket leak. So I'm going to the dealer to pick up one gasket (only doing the front of the car side) and I'll follow how you did yours. Hopefully I'll solve my oil leak problem. Thanks much for the video!! I learned a lot and god willing I'll be saving myself some money!!!
I subscribed to your website also...You do a great job at explaining the "How Too's"!!
Be well buddy, TED
👁👃👁 He had me at "I only have two because I lost the other two".
Very thoughtful thorough explanation Thank You!
Feeling confident bro!! Thank you
I dont even have a nissan but!.. I learned somethin new that i could do while i do my variable timing solonoid.. Good teacher you are..
Great video, detailed and thorough! Much appreciate it!
man u made my day been fighting this for a minute
Thanks great Mechanic. Love the video and happy the best way you do the work. Thanks pro. For everything
Exelent congratulations my brother
Do more ur explanation was perfect
Thanks brother
A real man doesn't care about harsh chemicals on his hands :)
Thanks much for your info and help
I just did the right one by the firewall. Bank 1 I believe. I didn't remove the plenum but I removed the old one and replaced it to make sure I knew how to do it. I changed the oil because I used Engine Restore and was low on oil. Apparently this clogs the solenoids and makes it rough start. I cleaned both solenoids but got the rear one (difficult one) new. Runs way better but still getting the front(left) one new. On order off Ebay.
I removed the bolts to the electrical harness running right on top of the solenoid. moved it out the way. Then, I used a long flat screwdriver thru the backside of the connector. This pops up the tab instead of squeezing and pulling like on the one on the radiator side. I bent a piece of plastic coated tie wire that comes with electronics into a 90 degree angle and placed it thru the gasket whole that doesnt take the bolt. Top hole furthest away from you.
It helps to hold the gasket in place
@@drocha3257 thanks for the feedback, glad you were able to do the job done ...
I know right!! Those solenoid gets clogged soo easy
@@Jbolanos10 bought the back solenoid at O'Reilly s for 135 bucks because I had cleaned the front one already. Now, I am waiting for the easy one up front to come in the mail from ebay for...20.00. Yup 20 bucks.
@@drocha3257 🤦♂️, it’s ok bruh sometimes people gotta learn from their mistakes..
Next time you need a part Rockauto.com has everything you will need and prices are unbelievable... I need a fuel pump for my charger and at dealer is 469.99 rock auto 132.99 and it’s the SAME pump!!!!! How do I know that????? I bought the one from the dealer and then looked up rock auto same part different price
Great video bro! I appreciate u a lot! 😅
Great video thanks!
Good video ,wish you could show how you got in there to get the bank one VVT off.
Damn. Right on the Money
Bien hecho el video
excellent video!
Thank you for your very informative video
Great video 👍
though a good video, what was left out was how you removed the second VVT(16:21) especially how you unplugged it. I had only one bank that needed removal and decided to changed both, the first being easy as shown in the video the second--- after several attempts gave due the inability to reach the plug and not wanting remove and not being able complete the task.
GodzillaSr the second vvt was really hard to remove especially unplugging it .. but the easiest way to do it is removing the intake but it was a lot to do and right behind the intake there are 2 hoses that carry antifreeze so it becomes a little mess ... but other than that is not really difficult taking intake off just takes time
Thanks man great video!
Welcome !!
muy buen video, bien detallado y probado , gracias, desde cd juarez chihuahua
Heyy de nada . Me alegra que le sirviera
Thanks you help me with this video
God Bless you
Thanks very detailed video
Excellente. Thanks
Great video but you skipped over the toughest part.....how to remove the rear solenoid without removing the intake!
Yes how did you do the back one?...
How did you do the rear without taking head off?
Great help thanks.
"I had to figure it out" my fav part!!! Idk shit got mad suspenseful... But bro my 350z is giving me this same code im about to go outside and figure this out....i changed the sensors behind the camshaft thinking that was the sensors!!!!
MixBoyChris if you have the same exact code and you clean the VVT sensor and after erasing the code still won’t go away, due a engine flush and then add the oil you going use for use ... why am I saying this??! See , Nissan made an engine where it get very picky about service especially with oil viscosity having dirty oil, or wrong oil viscosity will activate the sensor and mess with the timing.. I will suggest clean the sensors first and then change your oil, I always been using full synthetic on all my cars better lubrication and burns less also prevent from having oil leaks.. let me know how it goes.. I love Nissan 350Z with manual transmission, my fav ones...
@@Jbolanos10 yeah i got the 350z 6spd roadster came with brembos navigation bucket seats wich sadly dont come in the hard tops and bose sound system...i wasnt a fan of convertibles they looked ugly in pics but in reality with all those features and Porsche like design it was hard to resist.......about what you said i believe your Right i changed my oil but i don't think it was the correct weight and i didn't change the oil filter...that being said i believe thats why its still not running right.... Didn't think of that thanks for the tip gonna clean them one more time put the correct oil and change filter
MixBoyChris always Change your oil filter when replacing oil !! Lol good luck .. let me know how it goes
@@Jbolanos10 just got everything... Gonna see how it goes ill keep you posted
@@Jbolanos10 well after driving the car for atleast and hour the code came back.... I got the correct oil and filter 5w-30 synthetic.... Shits really annoying car runs like shit i barely got power...and i have 2 pairs of extra solenoids gonna swap around and see what happens
I have 1 complaint. At the start you said you would show how to remove the rear part without having to remove the intake. You didn't show it at all, kinda watched the entire video for that and you didn't do it.
Can you do a video to replace spark plugs for a maxima? Your videos are great! Thanks
livelo888 yea I can try to do one
Waooo,excellent video, well explained, I have nissan pathfinder se 2002 ,but I have problem with sensor P0021 bank 2,but I don't where is the location bank 1 or bank 2,? Thanks
What was the symptoms of the engine? Currently looking at a vehicle with this two codes. The owner has taken the vehicle about 5 times to a mechanic and they haven't fix it. The owner is looking for the receipt to see what parts were change. Her vehicle is making engine noise according to her and it gets louder when vehicle or outside temp is cold.
I'm gonna go order them gaskets, thankyou have power problems over 3000 revs
Power problems??? Like rpm to high???
Or vvt codes ?
@@Jbolanos10 good reving in first gear but if doing 65mph and floor it the car losses power, and I brought with 130000mls on it
@@hafwit4995 hmm does sounds strange, dirty/bad Throttle body, misfire , vacuum somewhere , clogged injectors .. alternator not charging enough maybe
OK cleaned and checked solenoid , only removeved solinoid also noticed the rod going to butterfly on manifold off, made new clip. Not fault on computer so just cleared and it removed light Lots better car up to 110mph, injectors clean next😁 thanks for a big save in$
Great video!!, did you have to remove any parts for the back one? Can you please give some idea because I have nissan altima ser I would like to check the back one because I have p0011 code. Thanks
So is the bank 1 actuator (P0011 is for bank 1) closest to the radiator or firewall? I'm glad to see you were able to remove the rear solenoid without pulling out the intake manifold. I had to do it for the rear plugs not long ago and that wasn't fun.
thx for everything but why did you disconnect the battery. can you please let me know thank you
Hello, I have a 2004 Nissan Altima Qr25. Every time I start it it goes well, but since returning to first gear it has refused to change again. In order for it to change I have to turn it off and start it up it changes normally. What do you heal with such a problem
Could be dirty transmission fluid, low transmission fluid , or bad shift solenoids
Good video but it would have been better had you shown steps taken to remove the one in the rear. The one in front is a piece of cake. But still a good video. BTW What year is the car?
Thanks I tried to record for the one in the rear, but really didn’t have lot of space . I might go to the junk and do one from there maybe one day… it’s a 2004 maxima
P0014 MG 2008
You did the easy one and then skipped though the hard one (bank 1). That's the one I need replace without taking a bunch of shit off lol.
It still little easy. But it’s more by just feeling it
I thought you were gonna show us how to change the solenoid for bank 1 without taking off the intake.. i got the code for the vvt bank 1 p0011. im guessing thats the one in the back.. i wanna replace the solenoid but on rock auto they have "fits left" and "fits right" what does that even mean? which one fits bank 1? left or right?
The "Left is towards the front, the right is for the back by your firewall. I think they go by standing on the drivers side of the engine compartment. Just another note here...If you have to replace spark plugs or coils? Stand in front of the engine/car...And the order is/starts from the left hand side, coil #1 is in the back by the firewall. Coil #2 is the first coil directly in front of you by the radiator and so on. So in short the back/right is 135....The front is 246. Too be safe you can also google it. Hope that helped you somewhat.
One more thing...if your going to change out the spark plugs on the firewall side? You have to remove the plenum/ the cast aluminum three channel thing on top of the engine. There's no getting away from that. Do it once? And you're gold. Good luck!
It should say, intake or exhaust
I did this on my Z. I clean the driver side but did not change the oil or the gasket. The same issue persisted. I changed the oil cleaned the solenoid used the same old gasket and it’s the same. Should I replace the solenoid with the gasket? Do I replace both solenoids like you did? I only have P0021 and P0300 . I think P0300 is due to P0021
Were you able to resolve the issue? I have P0021 right now. I had P0345 so I replaced the bank 2 Cam position sensor.
@Jonathan Montano So currently, my problem is resolved. I have driven about 3000+ miles and luckily the code hasn't come back. I bought an aftermarket bank 2 sensor from advance auto but it did not fit all the way into the engine. There was at least 1-2 millimeters gap between the sensor and the hole for the sensor in the engine. Anyway long story short, I am using the old sensor but i cleaned it up with a rag. The old sensor fit nice and snuggly. The only thing I can make out of why I was getting the P0021 and P0345, is that my car was running low on oil. When I changed the oil, I only got 3 1/2 quarts out. So now just add a little bit of oil every 500 miles or so. Also, now I am using the mobil 1 high mileage 5w30 oil. I hope this helps.
Did you clear p0021 after you replaced the solenoid?
Hi. Good video. I do have P0021 and P0011 and I replace both VVT solenoids with gasket and plenum gasket and clear the codes and start driving it and within 25 miles of driving it those two same codes came on 😬. Any Advice? Please thank you 👍
Yes. After replacing those vvt I started thinking how would my timing chain looks so I also replaced it and turns out the guide and the timing tension was already worn out and possibly causing those codes ..
You might have to replace timing chain
you didnt show how you took out the other solenoid under the manifold
Mines giving a p0011 code... but says it’s a camshaft position timing... can anyone help ?
T O K Y O check my other video for p0011
Jbolanos10 Can i get a link please.
T O K Y O it might be different to what you have .. but it might help czcams.com/video/7iGXyA4BTpY/video.html
How did you get the rear one off..
Ecellent detailed ilustration but you dont show how did you remove the second with out removing the intake manifold... could show it and it bern complate detailed ilustration
The one in the back it was basically just by feeling and making sure not to drop the bolts ..
Aye brother,I got the same code p0011 and code p1800,the question I have is that the back side of the engine makes tickling noise like lifters or something u think is because the p0011,and also when the car is cold it's starts up and idles fine but when the car heats up and I turn off and then on the idle goes down and won't turn on till the 4 or 5 time.
Did you fix it by replacing the part
How did you give power to the solenoid
Im sorry to say but i think its near impossible to do bank one without taking off plenuem
My hands are pretty small and i just can't!!!
It adjusts valve timing, not spark timing.
Do u reset ecu after cleaning vvt solenoids
Could U Provide The Location For a 2014 Q50. ??
Timing cover there is both of them , should be passenger side
What tools are needed for this job?
Whitch one is bank 1
Can i just remove the solenoid without removing the housing? Cuz i dont want to change the gasket, i cant find it around here
Yea.! That fine only reason why I took everything off is to take a look at how much sludge was build up in the inside ...
Nice video man....what did you use to test the solenoid??
Jose Vera alligator wires or you can just use some speaker wires ..

Jbolanos10 did you connect it to the car battery?
jxycxrtier yes, i positive terminal from solenoid to positive in battery. And for the ground of the solenoid don’t clamp it to ground to battery or you going burn the solenoid, all you have to do is touch the negative terminal so it can click
Is this the same for a 2015 q50 3.7?
Man you should’ve showed us how to get to the other one man it’s tricky asf
I’m sorry .. you can get to it if you just use your hand by touch only .. making sure not to drop the screws and the gasket not to come off
@@Jbolanos10 I got it I had to struggle with it. I couldn’t hand loosen the bolts but I managed with a 10mm. I changed the gasket and cleaned the valves but mine weren’t as dirty as yours. I’m thinking about changing the bank 1/2 sensors. I get a jerk when I put the car in reverse / drive. Slow to accelerate at red lights take about 10 /20 seconds to pick up to 40, the RPM meter doesn’t go up even when I rev. Radiator doesn’t turn on unless I have hot AC blasting. No cold AC. The car burns fuel quickly I find myself putting $60 a week in gas. Any ideas I’d appreciate. I have all the Error codes. My question is why does my car burn gas quickly, and what can I do to fix my acceleration issue & also my RPM gauge doesn’t work at all.
@@crossfaded8432 have you checked your throttle ?? Could be dirty or try reprogramming it .. that should fix the idle and accelerator issue
Could This Cause No Start
No start , delay starting, or perhaps shutting off
What is the name of the device you use at 8 min 20 second of your video? I would like to purchase one so that I can test my items as well.
Those are test leads .. you can get them an any auto parts or harbor freight has a set for a very good price ..
www.harborfreight.com/18-inch-low-voltage-multi-colored-test-leads-66717.html
What are you touching the negative alligator clip to?
Any negative around the block or you can put it directly back to the battery if you would like
What are systoms if its dirty or not working
Dirty will be shaking or perhaps shutting off the engine .. not working, longer cranks and might not start engine at all.. longer cranks also goes for dirty or clogged .. however my sysmptoms wasn’t any of this, just sludgy but not symptoms at all.. I do my oil change with full synthetic penzoil and every 3-4K miles .. anything longer than 6+ the code comes on and I have to do a engine cleaner before I do the oil change to flush it out
How did you get that rear solenoid out ? I’m having trouble accessing it
The rear solenoid is very tricky to get, I was able to get it from just feeling around. Also try not to drop the screws or the gasket.
was there any affects of the sensor being bad like any problems i have the same code right now
No i didn’t get no affects due to the code, the VVT usually changes the frequency of the gas entering and exiting of the combustion chamber .. not enough for me to feel it or to stall the engine or error when shifting with transmission .. everything felt fine
hi did you connect other alligator clip to battery
Eddie eddie yea, I just ran it straight to the battery .. with one hand I was showing you and the other hand I was barely touching negative post battery so you guys can see the clicking
Is the location for the solenoid the same for a 2003 3.5 maxima?
It should be , just by a year
How do you take the one in the back out can you do a video on that one or comment and let me know because it’s hard to get to
Jalen the one in the back is really tricky to remove .. trying to unplug it is a real challenge and removing the screws if you drop one you’ll take hours loooking for it ... is just the matter of feeling it or to do a best removal , remove the intake ..
Ohhh
Will a P0021 cause misfire? Check engine flashing light?
No it will not cause a misfire but it could make light to flash if it’s some critical like timing ..
I believe it will could cause a misfire.
also any trans problems ?
Do you recommend loctite for the solenoid bolts?
Nop, the bolt getting loose not the problem .. put it back normal
@@Jbolanos10 OK thanks
Witch one is bank 1?
Front or back
Bank 1 is closes to firewall so it be the “back”
Bank 2 is closes to radiator so it be the “front”
@@Jbolanos10 thanks
Why not just leave the body in place, and pull the single bolt that holds the spool valve itself? There seems to be room and you won't need a gasket.
The body could be fill of sludge oil , and that’s why is better to take everything off for better cleaning
Was that 12 volts, you applied to test the solinoid? Ecu,s use 5 volts.
Yes. It was 12volts coming from battery , didn’t kept it on for too long just to test it
Which one is P0011 First or second one you did?
Art Monkey the second one. That code is for bank 1 which is in the rear. Cylinders 1-3.
@@georilla thanks!
Does anyone else have a p0300 code from these?
NahX there was no random misfire codes from this code.... if you already done plugs and coils and still don’t fix it .. try the camshaft sensor and crankshaft replace
@@Jbolanos10 I've already confirmed they are functioning properly. I've done coils injectors inspected and tested the wiring harness. Confirmed the o2 sensors are good. Got good fuel pressure. Map sensor is good, no vacuum leaks. Didn't jump time, so I'm running out of ideas
Mine is as well and we cleaned the the solenoid worked for few days then p0021 came back as well as p0300 and bought a new solenoid worked well for a couple miles then it misfires again codes come on and off
Where is the VVT Filter screen located?
OnThaScene I could not find it either, I even went up to the dealer some tech said it was probably in the pcv valve, others said at the valve cover, and others said probably where the vvt solenoids is bolted ... 🤔🤷♂️
@@Jbolanos10 Thanks. It turns out my solenoid might have just died. It didn't respond to power test so I'm just going to replace that and hope it clears my P0021 code. It was very clean with no sludge, so hopefully that Filter screen is clean and clear as well...wherever it is.
OnThaScene do a motor flush “ engine flush” when changing the oil, and then drain and replace oil filter and add fresh oil .. after you replace the solenoid
