[RyleeFitz]

VVT wheel being able to rotate left and right is a sign of damage. The symptoms and measures for a damaged VVT wheel are introduced as follows: Symptoms of a damaged VVT wheel: Generally, a damaged VVT wheel will cause symptoms such as weak car acceleration, fault codes, increased fuel consumption, and in the most severe cases, failure to start. If there is a problem with the VVT system, it will cause the timing not to advance, resulting in weak acceleration or stuttering. Overall, it leads to difficulties in engine starting and unstable engine idling. Checking the camshaft: With the car turned off, open the valve cover and use a wrench to rotate the camshaft to observe if the VVT has an offset angle. If the camshaft cannot be rotated, the VVT is intact. If it can be rotated, there is an offset angle, indicating that the VVT wheel is damaged.
