Clanking/Clicking sound upon acceleration, codes P0076 and P2259
Researched these codes...
P0076 VDI solenoid valve control circuit low
and
P2259 AIR solenoid valve control circuit low
I found pictures to locate the AIR Solenoid; but haven't been so lucky with finding help locating the VDI Solenoid.
Would fault with either of these explain a sort of knocking/clanking sound when accelerating? The sound mostly happens when accelerating aggressively, and doesn't happen all of the time, usually persists at around 3-5K RPM and then stops.
I took it to the dealership and, if I remember correctly, the service guy told me there was "Carbon" build up on some-part-or-other, but it confuses me how there would be carbon build up on intake parts. I don't want to get raped by dealership prices if this is a relatively easy fix... according to them I have about $1,500 worth of work that "needs" to be done. F that.
Also, I have an automatic tranny... recently my car has begun to sputter-out and die at idle, sometimes it won't start unless I work the gas peddle.
Any help is much appreciated, I have tomorrow off so I'm planning on taking the intake manifold off and getting a good look at the AIR Solenoid and checking it's condition.
For anyone else with AIR Solenoid problems, this thread is/was very helpful:
