I went to a local dealership where they had to reset my idle, I asked them about my VIAS and why i wouldnt feel a big jump when it turnedon. They hooked up the consult II and took it for a test drive. The consult II verified that the VIAS was not turning on when hitting wot. Now they tested and found that the vias was actuating and still was not clicking on. HMMMMMMMM what do you guys think???? What could be the problem??????

 

This seems to be a pretty common problem on out VQ30DE-k's. The fault seems to be the connection between the actuator and the valve which redirects the air to the short (high RPM) runners. There is a cup with a rod through it which wears down over time allowing the rod to spin freely. This is why the actuator is still moving, but the valve does not open.

Search the 5th gen stickies for VIAS threads. There are some really good ones out there.

I hope this helps a bit
