Vsv For Vcis - Po1651

[Mike Floutier]

Hi all,

I've had my engine light on for a while now because of PO1651 and I'd like to do something about it as:

1. It doesn't look good to my customers - I'm a professional driver, and

2. If the valve is open when it shouldn't be - ie. all the time the way I drive - this may be why I'm getting poorer gas mileage.

So far, both the problems I've had on this 200,000 mile car have been solved by cleaning up the relevant multiplug (throttle pedal position sensor & ignition coil).

According to the manual, I need to do quite a bit of dismantling to remove this VSV. I'm wondering if it's possible to get at the multiplug without all this dismantling. Does anyone know or has anyone got any experience of this problem?

Kind regards,

Mike
