Well would have been nice to hear the clicking sound instead of the music...😐

A cool way to check the resistance, I mean those two wires, nice one.

It would be nice if we could actually hear what's going on instead of listening to loud music for nothing

So if I buy cheap eaby solenoid and they say 7.0 0r 7.5 are the still good?

[vrmgt]

i did all the tests which the VVT solenoid passed but was still bad!

That way of checking the actuator with a 12 volt battery is wrong...I did this and both of my actuators have passed away, my car runs like crap now. They are feed from the ECU with a lower tension around 8 volt so connecting them directly to a 12 volt source will cook them up
