VVT oil control valve part number needed so I can replace the part.

2000 Toyota celica gts 2ZZ engine. I want to replace the VVT oil control valve, aka cam timing oil control valve. Is part number 15330-22020 the right part, and can the same part number be used for the left and right side (I think they are referred to as I (injector) and L (lifter), ie. VVT-i and VVT-l). I tried (a mistake) to use part number 15330-22040 and the left side (seemed to) work; the right did not.

My car has 146000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.

Experienced mechanics share their insights in answering this question :

How to Identify and Fix Common car Problems ?

Oil control valves are an essential part in an internal combustion engine with variable valve technology (VVT). There are different VVT designs depending on the engine`s make and model. All VVT systems which are controlled by oil pressure have at least one oil control valve.
If you have oil control valve problems, then there are certain symptoms you can look out for. Some of them include slow acceleration, poor brake performance, and a strange burning smell in the car. Before it gets this bad, the computer in your vehicle should give you some warnings first on the dashboard.
The variable valve timing solenoid is a component of the variable valve timing system that manages the oil flow depending on the engine speed and load. A VVT solenoid in good working condition improves performance and fuel efficiency.
Typically, there`s one VVT solenoid for each actuator. Some vehicles only have an actuator on the exhaust camshaft or the intake camshaft, while others have actuators on both.
In some cases, the motor may run (not very well) with a broken or damaged variable valve timing solenoid, however it will likely not run for long due to the critical role the VVT solenoid plays in the timing of the motor.
Cost of diagnosing the P0013 code

P0013 is a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) for “B Camshaft Position – Open or Short in Oil Control Valve (OCV) (Bank 1)“. This can happen for multiple reasons and a mechanic needs to diagnose the specific cause for this code to be triggered in your situation.

The VVT system is a 2-stage hydraulically controlled cam phasing system. VVT-i varies the timing of the intake valves by adjusting the relationship between the camshaft drive (belt or chain) and intake camshaft. Engine oil pressure is applied to an actuator to adjust the camshaft position.
Common signs of a faulty VVT solenoid include the Check Engine Light coming on, dirty engine oil, rough engine idle, and decreased fuel economy.
Common signs include a rough engine idle, the Check Engine Light coming on, and the engine stumbling when climbing hills or under load.
Eliminating the VVT system is required when swapping to a non-VVT camshaft. These cams offer higher valve lift and longer duration for more performance. A VVT delete kit removes the VVT components and replaces them with standard parts.
If your vehicle is equipped with a variable valve timing system, it needs to operate as designed for proper performance and fuel efficiency. If your vehicle`s VVT solenoid is faulty, have it replaced as soon as possible to regain your lost performance.
Just like other sensors and switches on your car, the VVT switch is designed to be a lifetime part.
VVT systems have caused one emissions system to become all but extinct: exhaust-gas recirculation (EGR). Since VVT is able to control the way gasses enter and exit the combustion chamber, there`s no need for EGR systems.
VVT-i (Variable Valve Timing with intelligence) is a similar system developed by Toyota and has several variants among which VVTL-i (Variable Valve Timing and Lift intelligent system) is analogous to VTEC.
Toyota`s Dual VVT-i technology adjusts both the intake and exhaust valves, which makes the system more efficient and assists in reducing emissions even further. The practical upshot of this for the driver is more power, better responsiveness, better mileage, and lower emissions.
Engine Choices

1.8L 4-Cylinder DOHC 16-Valve with Dual Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i): This engine option delivers an impressive 132 hp and 128 lb-ft of torque.

One of the most common problems found when diagnosing a VVT system malfunction is low oil pressure or low engine oil level.
This system is both electrical and hydraulic. The exhaust valve is still controlled by way of an oil pressure solenoid, while the intake is controlled by an electric motor on the front of the cam. This allows valve timing to be adjusted with no regard to engine temperature or oil pressure.
A solenoid valve is an electromechanically actuated valve that runs on 12 volts. Different solenoid valves have different properties for the fluid they control, the electric current they utilize, the magnetic field they produce, the mechanism they use to control fluid flow, and more.
The variable valve timing solenoid is located at the front of the engine, typically near the front of the valve cover.
The oil control valve is a solenoid valve and switches the engine oil line. The valve moves when the ECM applies the 12 volts to the solenoid. The ECM changes the energizing time to the solenoid (duty-cycle) in accordance with the camshaft position, crankshaft position, throttle position, etc.
P06DD is a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) defined as “Engine Oil Pressure Control Circuit Stuck Off.” This trouble code means that your vehicle`s engine oil pressure sensor is signaling the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) that the oil pressure is too low — and affecting the dual stage oil pump.
When it comes to adjusting the valve timing and lift, VVT-i uses a hydraulic mechanism while i-VTEC uses an electronic control unit. Another difference is that VVT-i technology is designed for fuel efficiency and emissions reduction, while i-VTEC is more focused on providing power through high RPMs to a Honda driver.
The variable valve timing (VVT) actuator allows the timing of the camshaft(s) in your engine to be changed while the engine is running.

lost all oil pressure, replaced the oil pump, low oil sensor, oil pressure sensor, oil pan gasket,
ANSWER : The fuel pump will not stay on if you loose oil pressure. This is why it is shutting off. The loss of oil pressure may be from bad crankshaft bearings or camshaft bearings. The engine oil pan should be removed and the oil pump needs to be checked to ensure that you put in the pick up tube seal to the pump and connected the pump to the block. Then remove at least one main bearing cap and inspect the bearings for excessive wear and crankshaft damage. If you need some help with this, consider YourMechanic, as a certified technician can help diagnose the issue with your oil pressure firsthand and help you fix it accordingly.

Do i need to replace the receiver drier and/or the expansion valve when replacing the condenser assembly?
ANSWER : Replacing the system drier is absolutely essential. If the system has been open to the atmosphere (due to the leak in the condenser), the desiccant in the drier has been fully saturated with moisture. As far as the expansion valve, replacement is not normally implicated in a leak repair, in your case a leak in the condenser. To justify replacing the expansion valve, there would have to have been a diagnostic performed which proved a fault. If no diagnostic was performed, and there is no evidence of a fault, then it is pointless to replace the valve. But, again, drier replacement is absolutely essential. To add the drier to your order, you can simply add a note to the mechanic in your order and/or add it as a service (you will see a link that you can click on to "add services" or write in specific services). If you have further questions or concerns, do not hesitate to re-contact YourMechanic as we are always here to help you.

Hello Ben, my oil pressure is came on. Slight oil drip. Mechanic changed oil, replaced sending unit. Light came on after a day.
ANSWER : You need to have the oil pressure checked to see if the oil pressure is within specifications before you condemn the engine internal problem with oil pump or crankshaft and bearings. You may want to get the dealer involved now and let them take care of getting the light diagnosed.

Oil leak turned into oil cooler replacement
ANSWER : Hi there. There are two types of oil coolers on many cars, the engine oil cooler and the transmission oil cooler. It’s not a part that typically wears out frequently, however, sometimes leaks can develop due to being hit by an object or seals and gaskets failing.

As far as how long an oil cooler will last, that’s hard to answer due to the fact that it’s a mechanical part that can fail for many reasons that simply can’t be predicted. However, if it were to happen again, one of our local ASE certified mechanics can complete the oil cooler replacement for you.

Are thse current and relevant prices for this service, and how long does it take? REPLACE AUX VACUUM PUMP (OIL LEAKING FROM A
ANSWER : Hi there. It really depends on who provided you with this diagnosis as to how long the repairs would take to complete. In regards to not including the seals listed at the bottom, this is not advised. The seals protect the components from leaking and will also reduce the potential of overheating on your vehicle.

2006 BMW oil filter gasket keeps breaking and oil leaks from oil filter. Oil leaks only after starting car in morning. PCV valve?
ANSWER : Hi There,
It sounds like you may need to replace the oil cap o-ring. If you haven’t done this before there are two O-rings to replace; a small green one on the base of the filter cap stem and the large black one that seals the filter cap (which seems to be the one you are having issues with). The large O-ring sits in a small square-shaped groove that is at the base of the oil filter cap. It is very easy to not properly seat the large O-ring because the threads for the oil cap are quite large and will accept the O-ring if you are not careful. I would suggest having a professional from YourMechanic come to your location to take a look at your vehicle.
