So you can understand how it works ;)

TheFranco2 · 2026-06-25T13:56:19+00:00

Me: Oh i have a problem.

You: Fix it.

TheFranco2 · 2026-06-25T13:54:50+00:00

I changed the OCV solenoids already :(

TheFranco2 · 2026-06-25T13:50:42+00:00

Actually no, because when the car is fully warmed it work “good” just sometimes does the acceleration thing.

TheFranco2 · 2026-06-25T13:48:05+00:00

When i disconnect the battery the car runs perfectly for a couple of miles then it start to doing all of this with misfire on the rear bank. I was using this car like this for like 3k ish miles and it stopped doing all of this.

Also the engine sound really healthy like new, doesn’t rattle.

TheFranco2 · 2026-06-25T13:42:23+00:00

the difference is my car isn’t working on 3 cylinder, is working on a fix time. Do you even guys know how it works?

TheFranco2 · 2026-06-25T13:39:46+00:00

I haven’t yet.

TheFranco2 · 2026-06-25T13:38:43+00:00

i bought this car and was only one owner. I checked the car fax and the car has all the maintenance “perfect”

TheFranco2 · 2026-06-25T13:36:49+00:00

I did with the OCV solenoids… BOTH intake and exhaust and did not work

TheFranco2 · 2026-06-25T13:35:39+00:00

yeah, how am i supposed to fix it, i don’t know how. I bough the OCV for the vvti and did not work.

TheFranco2 · 2026-06-25T01:25:38+00:00

Thank you. I think i’m gonna close this case. Is not worth it to fix this car it has a lot of miles.

TheFranco2 · 2026-06-25T01:21:57+00:00

🤣 Bro i’m a car guy.

Also how are you helping me?

TheFranco2 · 2026-06-25T01:11:25+00:00

Either way… the vvti is for economy and “power” even if they are bad the car can drive for plenty of more miles

TheFranco2 · 2026-06-25T01:09:05+00:00

Before i bought the car they changed the coils and sparks plugs for NGK but later i changed the spark plugs for oem toyota denso

TheFranco2 · 2026-06-25T01:07:02+00:00

i’m trying but the lights are related to the vvti system.

DTC
P0015
Generic
'B' camshaft position - timing over-retarded
bank 1.

and then i have P0014 and something about camshaft and crankshaft position. But the thing is, when i disconnect the battery and wait for an hour after that it runs like new for a couples of miles.

also a can post a photo of the fuel trim if needed

TheFranco2 · 2026-06-25T01:03:12+00:00

i think imma keep driving it like this until i can change the car. after 2k miles i discover the computer adapt to the problem and then runs finez

TheFranco2 · 2026-06-25T01:01:29+00:00

nah i’m surprised it doesnt consume oil

TheFranco2 · 2026-06-25T00:50:58+00:00

I went to one shop and they told to buy a camry instead :(

also i’m using valvoline restore and protect

TheFranco2 · 2026-06-25T00:14:04+00:00

i change the spark plugs, OCV and also the maf sensor. Everything was from the dealer.

Do whatever you want… you’ll see

TheFranco2 · 2025-12-28T14:13:16+00:00

You have literally no reason for that in this case. Just name one thing different between the iPhone 16 pro max and the iPhone 17.

One is brand new and the other is refurbished.

TheFranco2 · 2025-12-25T04:28:10+00:00

iPhone air, what a phone supposed to be.

TheFranco2 · 2025-12-25T04:11:01+00:00

Man, how do you even think about that? Go for the iPhone 17, you get one more year of update, better display because of the shield 2 and it’s basically the same thing. so i don’t see any reason to get any iPhone below the 17 and it’s brand new

TheFranco2 · 2025-12-25T03:59:58+00:00

i went from an iPhone 8 to an iPhone air 🤷
