  • In this video I will explain to you why you have a variable valve timing system on your car. But not just that I will also show you how it exactly works and operates. Some of the more common known variable valve timing systems are Vtec, VVT, VTVT and VVTi. All these systems work very similar to one another and I am going to explain it in this video.

    Very good explanation of variable valve timing and how it works. I'm old school, worked on engine rebuild in the days of 4-bbl carbs and no pollution control baggage. Trying to learn and understand the newer technology and how it works. We've definitely come a long way in engine design. Thank so much for this video. A combination of theory, drawings, real engine parts, and explanation is an invaluable tool for teaching which helps everything you discussed make sense. Kind of remind me of my instructors I had when I took auto mechanics trade school in the early '70s. They used the same instruction methods which works well. Bravo.

    Ive been trying to understand VVT and how its achieved through oil pressure. This video is perfect in explaining how and why. I particularly enjoy the humor interjected. Well done in all aspects. I subscribed.

    @ohenenorb Před 3 lety +6

    Your explanation of how VVT works , and how it is employed in effecting Exhaust Gas Retention internally ( as opposed to Exhaust Gas Recirculation which requires separate externally installed valve in older engines ) , to me is the highlight of this video .
    Keep up with the good work!

    Woah, now I understand! I replaced my intake & exhaust VVT solenoids on 2017 GMC Terrain at only 43k miles. Intake side was filthy!! My oil has been changed by the dealership regularly so I’m kinda upset at what I seen on the solenoid. Now it runs great again and no longer stalling. Thank God for CZcams because it has helped so much!

    Old timer here and now I understand about this variable valve timing. Excellent job explaining! Congrats. on the new move and hope it's saving you some money. You have some of the best videos out there on fixing cars. My first car was a 1960 180b Mercedes and those weren't the fastest cars but what a dream to work on. None of this computerized stuff. So that was back in 69 and have been working on my own cars ever since. Unfortunately all of the injuries have caught up on me and it's getting to painful to do the work although it's been so rewarding being able to be self sufficient! So lately I've been looking at Lexus' and from what I can tell they seem to be the best built cars out there. Would love to here your thoughts. Thanks and keep up the good work.

    New viewer and sub here! So living on my own and now having to do work on my own for vehicles, I had my first engine indicator come on. Wanting to learn to do things on my own, got myself a bluetooth obd2 reader and app. Now I am learning about what the part I will be fixing has to do with how my car works. This is leading me into a rabbit hole of education on, well put honestly, how vehicles work :) And this so far is what led me to your content and I love how you present things :D

    @spelunkerd Před 7 lety +35

    This VVT system always seemed more complicated than it needed to be, and the dependence on extra solenoids and motor oil moving down narrow channels made me wonder how long they would last. However it seems like these systems are holding up fine, so far. Even better reason to change motor oil frequently, ha ha. Good video, welcome to the new shop!

    • @klopossa2
      @klopossa2 Před 7 lety +2

      I was wondering about a fail safe if the solenoids stopped working all together as solenoids have been known to do.

    • @myRatchets
      @myRatchets  Před 7 lety +4

      Yes, they are pretty reliable now. But yes frequent oil changes with these setups is crucial. cheers

    • @myRatchets
      @myRatchets  Před 7 lety +5

      The solenoid is usually spring loaded inside where if it were to fail t will go to a position where there wont be any damage, either valve to valve or valve to piston. cheers

    • @stix562
      @stix562 Před 6 lety +1

      Like to know where the VVT Filter Screen is on a 3.3L 2006 Sienna - better to clean that first than go replacing things that might not need replacing.. although I am sure after 200K or more they might be a bit more gummy than a bear.

    Your engine looks similar, if not identical, to my Chevy Sonic 1.8L LUW. I just replaced my head gasket and also ground the valves, removed tonnes of carbon buildup on the exhaust valves and Pistons. Great video. Now I know why I don't have an EGR valve. The LWE 1.8L carries an air pump. Just before putting my head back on, one of my dog was not feeling well that day and vomited on the head, wiped it out but I am guessing the oil filter and PCV system should rid the rest of it 😂😂😂

    @enriqueatala2567 Před rokem

    Hello, thanks for your video, I disconnected the MAF and the car idles low, it does not go up more than 500 rpm's and the brake is a bit hard, although the fault disappears where the ralenti is 2000 rpm's and the brakes stop oscillating RPM's from 1000 to 2000, you can't drive. I bought a stock MAF like the one you have factory at Toyota and it didn't fix itself. I thought like you about the leak and had the servo checked and they told me it was fine. Take out the intake manifold and seal some joints that seemed not well sealed. Another test that I did was to disconnect the brake booster valve and the rpm's also drop to 500 rpm's, the brake remains hard without the help, you can't drive like that either. I will also tell you that we removed the throttle body and it was submerged in special liquids, no dirt came out, the car in general is very careful, the only thing I could not remove is the IAC valve because it has a special 25 Pentalobe type key I think, but I can't buy that tool, the same thing, both the IAC and the TPS were cleaned and measured with a tester and the injector voltage was checked and it works fine. I also changed the intake manifold gasket, spark plugs and PSV valve, all original Toyota, the Toyota scanner and other colleagues say nothing of failure. I put a vacuum gauge and it measures 18 normal psi and when accelerating it drops to 0 and then recovers. I don't know whether to suspect a leak from injectors, I am very disoriented and worse, I live in a very small city far from any official service to take to the car and no one has a vacuum gauge and has smoke to see where the leak could be. If you can think of a control that you can do, I would appreciate it. Greetings
