First of all, how many miles does your car have? Timing belt should be replaced every 90k. The ocv valve can be clogged up if evidence of sludge is present. Remove the ocv filter screen on the side of the head. If clean oil comes out from the screen, you're good and replace the solenoid. Possibly the vvt cam gear can go bad too on early vvti 1mz engines. If sludge is present on the pick up screen, then the engine is sludged.
