So i had the dreaded P1349 pop up right after i bought the car. I had the car sitting for a while but yesterday i decided to tackle a couple of things. The spark plugs and cleaning of the small solenoid filter and cleaning of the vvti solenoid itself.
After trying to get everything as clean as possible i re-installed the filter and solenoid. The car almost immediately started to run great and like a whole new car.
I then decided to drive it home and make sure all was good. Made it home without any issues. Car ran great on the highway...smooth as my others. I even went to the market a little later.
This morning i drove it to work...about 10-15 minutes of driving the rough idle came back and the car was missing under 1k once again. On the highway it was fine.
I ran to the shop and grabbed the code read and once again P1349 came back along with P0135 (o2 sensor i believe). Not sure if related but both came up.
So the leads me to ask. Could the solenoid itself be bad or are the 2 codes some how related?
I will order a new filter and possibly a new solenoid soon.
