RSparkes Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Hi, I originally began experiencing engine missing. I went to Tires Plus and was advised to replace plugs and coils. I did that but the problem persisted. They now say I have a VVT solenoid problem and they want $800 to fix. Who has experience with this problem and might there be an inexpensive fix? I saw a video of the solenoid being replaced on a GS430 and it appears extremely simple and inexpensive. Shouldn't it be exactly the same for my SC?

lenore Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 The part is around $109 total, and installation I am not sure but typically easy. I found this on Carson Toyota site that also sells Lexus parts. Called a VVti timing solenoid. There is generally also a little screen that needs cleaning also.
