Where is the VCT actuator on the nmy F150?
When the problem occurs, access the Variable Cam Timing (VCT) actuator #2 on the driver’s side of the engine. Back probe the Violet/Light Blue (VT/LB) wire and with the engine running, hold the RPM above idle and try tapping the wire to ground several times.
How to fix VCT solenoid O nmy 2005 F150?
Back probe the Violet/Light Blue (VT/LB) wire and with the engine running, hold the RPM above idle and try tapping the wire to ground several times. This will exercise the actuator and in many cases allow it to free up and return the cam timing to the proper position.
