Aparently Haltech can't vary the intake cam and feel that its a mechanical problem and nothing to do with the ECU side of things.

I have pulled out the solenoid and put 12V to it and it triggers the pluger fine. I then refitted the soleniod with the engine running and applied 12V again thinking that the engine would want to stall. This did not happen - it ran fine. I've been told by a mate who knows his Toyotas that if it didn't want to stall the solenoid is busted and to buy a new one.

Anyone care to comment on my findings? I have no issue buying a new solenoid they are cheap from Castle Hill Toyota and they even have one in stock

But if this doesn't fix it i'll be less than impressed
Oh yeah im in Australia.
Cheers
Wish I could help, but vvti Mkiv's are pretty rare here in the US. Please keep us informed of your findings...

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
