Can somebody tell me where the vvt filter/assembly is on a 2005 base vibe? I don't even know what it looks like, and I saw some diagrams posted in other threads, but they didn't help and I want to pull it out and check/clean it. Anybody have a picture?Also, can I pull it out and check it with oil in, or must it be done when drained for an oil change?
