Beams - vvti help

Post by Black Light 93 »

Bit of an odd issue but any help would be appreciated. I have a mk2 n/a with a red top beams (from a celica gen 6) and an aftermarket link g4 storm ecu. The ecu is showing that the VVTI cam is stuck at maximum advance at around 40 degrees. Ive replaced the VVTI solinoid (oem) and still having the same issue. Ive measured the electrical connector with a multi meter and varied the throttle and im getting different readings as expected thus ruling the connector as faulty out. Im a little lost on what else to be testing and im not to sure how long its been running like this. Id be happy to answer any questions if theres anything ive missed cheers

It's probably a gummed up actuator/cam gear. There are some good youtube vids on the topic.
