a week ago I had the p1349 code... vvti malfuntion. I also had a misfire in all 6 cylinders. po300-306. zI took it to a mechanic and he said my plugs and wires were shot and that should fix the problem. I read up on the p1349 code and told him the forums suggest changing my ocv and to leave my plugs and wires alone. He insisted that my wires were bad, could see them arcing and they needed to be changed! I insisted on the ocv so he finally checked it.. he said it looked fine and your supposed to check it by putting a volt test on it and a battery and/or some other **** and it passed the test just fine. My question is, how do i find this ocv and take it out and test to see if its clogged. I searched and the thread i found had a diagram that was quite confusing lol. Does anybody have or can post a regular pic please?? Also after he replaced my plugs and wires the car idles alot better, but i notice that sometimes the car still stutters and has a little hesitation/misfire/jerk on take offs. Before, (when I had the cel, vsc and vsc off light on) my car had a really low idle, misfiring, and bad throttle response. Someone please help!!! If someone in my area is willing to come over and fix my baby I am willing to GIVE them a set of ltuned springs and struts. Consider this an early christmas present lol. Thanks all

I recall there was a thread about this. All he did was took it out and cleaned it and was fixed. Try searching.

so i found and cleaned my ocv, it wasnt that dirty or clogged but i cleaned it anyway. I still have the same stuttering hesitation problem and no check engine light. My idle is fine, car just seems to hesitate/buck when i hit throttle at take off and for some reason i feel it alot when the car is running in 4th gear... feels like a bad misfire or something like that when crusing in 4th gear. Please help!!!

have you or has anybody heard of/reccomend putting seafoam in the gas tank?? Or does this not work the same??

seafoam is best when done in 3 parts... some might say not to do the 3rd, but to each his own... best bet is to be careful and patient... you'll need 2 cans of it for a thorough cleaning... 1 can (entire) into full gas tank... 1/3 of #2 can into engine vacuum line (pour slowly; stall out engine w/ final bit), 1/3 of #2 can into engine oil fill, remaining 1/3 into gas tank... allow seafoam to go to work for about 30 min, and then start her up and get ready for the fog machine show! Do some spirited driving to blow out all the seafoam and carbon buildup on top of the cylinder banks.
