[172Ben]

Do i put the earth and positive into the O.E black connector?

 

[Fred@BTM]

remove it from the car and test it on the kitchen table or something

 

[172Ben]

[Fred@BTM]

Don't you know someone with the rstuner? you can use it to testing the vvt solenoid, and don't need a license for that.

Not sure if it will work with standalone? I wouldnt of thought so.

Just tested it, it clicks, piston moves, not that much but i imagine its enough for the oil etc?

Should it open fully so the wholes are completely clear?
