Renboy Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 Yeah, but how does an abv solenoid have anything to do with oil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mts Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 Actually after studying the vacuum and intake drawings... there wasn't a lack of oil problem as much as there was a lack of operation of the ABV. Which was under pressuring the S/C and likely causing the noise. I believe it was cavitation of the S/C due to lack of back pressure supplied by the engine... constant bypass mode.By the valve not functioning. My BAD. BUT I will say that if it was trying to pump oil ,as you diagnosed, there WOULD be smoke. Anyway, his S/C noise is gone, which ultimately may save the S/C, now wiring needs to be checked...

Renboy Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 The info I got was that his car needed an abv and that oil starvation was causing a rattle in the s/c. I just told him that it's an oil excess that causes a rattle not starvation. Though I do like the cavitation theory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
