VVT sensor/actuator?
As in Vairiable valve timing?
What would the effects of this not working be?

reduced performance mainly. VVT variable valve timing. it basically alters when the valves open mostly at higher revs . best car to feel this working on is properly a civic tyre r i think most people have being in one of them  :smiley:

Cheers!

I think that may be the cause of my car not running as smooth in the higher rev range!

Can anyone provide me with a part number for this?

Did a fault code not come up for this?  Its obviously damaged but its maybe just the casing thats damaged and the internal wiring is still OK?

Would make sense if you're having issues though.

Is there a thread with the issues you are having?

No fault code came up!

Im not sure if the wiring is damaged or not?
Theres two wires that i can see and one of the looks like its oxidising(gone green).

I cant find any other threads with this problem either!
