Variable Valve Timing Actuator Inspection [L3]
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 22 other vehicles, including the 2009 Mazda B2300, 2009 Mazda 5, 2008 Mazda Tribute, 2008 Mazda B2300, and 2008 Mazda 5. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
- Variable valve timing actuator cannot be disassembled because it is a precision unit.
- Confirm that the groove of the rotor and notch of the cover at the variable valve timing actuator are aligned and fixed.
- If the notch and the bump are not aligned, rotate the rotor toward the valve timing retard position by hand until they are in place.
- If the rotor and cover are not fixed even though their notch and groove are aligned, replace the variable valve timing actuator.
