I've been trying to troubleshoot a very annoying problem with my tC for a while now. While trying to rule out the VVTi I unplugged the harness that runs to the VVTi oil control valve. I felt no difference in the way the car runs. I should have felt a noticable difference in power correct?

 

Just out of curiosity. Why would you want to unplug that?

 

No, you shouldnt have noticed any power change.
Your just maknig your gas mileage worse
