Volvo Tech At an after market volvo perf shop

 

look by the oil cap on the front valve cover, right above it. There is a wiring harness sticking out of it. The valve cover vent tube is to the right of it and 'above' it. It is hex like in shape and about 3-4" long.
It's grounded by the ecu which blocks an oil passage causing the oil pressure to build in the VTC assembly which changes the cam timing.
You can either tap the wire at the ECU, or at the solenoid itself. If you tap it at the solenoid, its the yellow wire, which you want to tap into, not cut, and you ground it. You only have to do it to one of the solenoids since it is a shared signal wire.


(Chris knows all this, but it was just easier to quote him )

 

I know the answers, too, but I didn't know what questions he wanted answered.

Hey, Dogboy, do you work at that shop on 148th and Stark? (or is it Division). I used to live over there.

 

 

thank you for the information Red Kudos 2 u

 

what's wrong with the Maxima you are working on? Are the VTCs ticking or are you going to replace them?
