1.8 noise on startup
Posted: Tue Aug 06, 2019 1:57 pm
Good evening all.
I'm trying to diagnose and repair the startup noise on my wife's 09 Toyota Vibe VVT-1 1.8 motor. This is what it does on startup. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSafiPtq_OI (not my engine but same noise) Initially I thought it was the starter but the more research I have done on it it seems like this is a common issue with this engine, and when it starts up cold I can hear it knocking at the intake where the sensors are located.
My question is if I replace the intake position solenoid will it solve the problem? Is this repair more involved than replacing one part?
Thanks
