Glad I don't have a 1.8. However I may be in for a surprise when I locate the procedure for filter replacement in a 2.4...

Thanks, I looked. This diagram seems to point to changing the vvt valve. While good info If the valve needing attention, I don't think I'll get involved with handling that expensive item til I need to. I'm assuming the "filter and seal" are nearby.......almost there. more later

Since changing the vvt oil filter may presumeably become scheduled maintenance, I'll try posting this one here. Can anyone help me with the location of the aforementioned in a 2009 2.4 Vibe?? It's fairly tight in there so I'd won't start guessing. Thanks for any assistance.

Where's the best place to find a mechanical parts /engine diagram for 2009 Vibe. 2.4......manual everything.? I've got a VVT filter and seal and don't want to guess which bolt to pull.... Is it approx where the 04' is? thanks for any info..

I know it's ugly now but I've got some ideas to dress it up.. more snaps later. This was only an expieriment based on the studies done on air flow parameters done by some HVAC engineers. After understanding enough of that stuff, I figured I'd be okay regarding any code generations.. I got NONE. Plan...

This is what I removed:) I'm not sure just how to upload more than one snap at a time yet..

Here are a couple pix of the stuff I took out, I merely trimmed and re routed the softer foam tube down the the front.

Although I haven't added fogs to my 09' yet. I did a custom mod for air intake and used the fog/blank to mount the intake horn.. After you remove the underside covers, about 4-5 10mm lag bolts and a couple of those push pin clips, it's fairly easy from there... First... the blanks have 4 corner taps...

yesterday I took out the big White jug and the plastic coupling devices. then re-routed the air intake input to a custom mount on the drivers side fog light blank. The filter box and new filter is still stock, including the permanant looking gauzelike filter in top of the filterbox... It has superio...

will this wiring config. work with 2009 Vibe. 2.4 all manual. no fogs yet. question? which config will work the best? Just wondering about the switching based on no factory fogs installed. also which would be the best fogs ? to fill the factory blanks? i want yellows

After reviewing the thread again. disconecting the ground for a reset was something I hadn't done after cleaning the MAF system. Low and behold!! I disconected /reconected for reset. I ran for approx35miles after a fill up. got gas then and milage IS back to approx 29mpg..! Thanks to all the excelle...

I cleaned maf system, changed air filter. Thanks so much for this thread. It looks like VVT school ...
