Code 1349 Issues
Vehicle: Lexus GS300
Mileage: 125517
Year: 1998
CEL code: 1349
Im having an annoying issue. The CEL lights up every other week for about a day or two. I take a 30 minute drive on the highway into another town. Im slowing down coming off the off ramp. As soon as I get to a stop, the engine begins to hesitate. The idle drops super low. The CEL lights up. If I dont give it some gas, the engine will die. Ive scanned the code a couple times shortly after it comes up just to make sure its the same issue. The 1349 code definition is a blocked VVTi oil control valve. I decided to start cheap. After reading the DIY on code 1349, I bought and replaced the OCV filter with an OEM replacement from the dealer. The old one looked pretty crusty and dark. It also had a few grounds of oil similar to coffee grounds on a coffee filter. The problem went away after about a week.
Im in the same scenario again. Now Im suspecting a bad OCV solenoid. Before I go out to Lexus and spend the money on a new one, I thought I would first post up to get some input and confirmation if this is indeed the part that is giving me these hesitation issues.
Thanks in advance!

Not sure what you mean by both sides. Since you have only one VVT-i pulley, there is only one OCV. The OCV solenoid controls the oil flow that adjust the timing of the VVT-i pulley.
