I have a 2002 camry, 4cyl. it threw the code for vvt sensor. I replaced it and the car is not running any better.

Codes now read random misfire and shows cyl. 1,2,3and 4 misfire. it also has a loud and constant rattling that sounds like the valve train. pulled the valve cover and confirmed oil is flowing. any ideas what to check next ?

You did get the right part ??? Installed and hooked "everything" back up exactly where it went???,You did disconnect battery "before" you worked on it right ??, and in doing so , the computer's brain will norm. take some driving time to adjust itself to the car again and unless you had another system break down , it should clear it self 5-15 miles...by the way ,... what caused the part failure???, do you change oil as recommended ???

I have exactly the same problem and codes you listed on my 2000 Camry 4 cyl. I replaced the plugs which had no effect. My friend mechanic said the problem is deffinitely the wires and I could also need to replace the coil pack.

SOURCE: OBD code 0401 (1997 Toyota Camry 4 cyl)

There is a VSV (vacuum switching valve) , usually mounted on the back side of engine block, under the intake manifold, as well as the map sensor, that can also cause that code if one or the other is faulty. It takes some pretty detailed troubleshooting to confirm this in some cases, so if that's not in your line of work, you may have to have it properly diagnosed, or take a 50/50 shot at which one first.

SOURCE: Cylinder Misfires

It could be your spark plugs or a coil. To see if it's a coil move the coil from #5 to #6 the miss will change to that cylinder with code p0306 and change #1 to #3 and see if it changes to p0303. If it does replace all the coils. You change all coil because if one or two go you know the rest are not far behind

2007 saturn aura xr code P0300

Check Engine Light On, P0300 Random Misfire Code. A random misfire means your engine is misfiring, but that the problem is not isolated to one or two cylinders. It is jumping around in a random way from one cylinder to another. A random misfire code usually means the air/fuel mixture is running lean. Replace plugs wires and coil packs.Check crank /camshaft position sensors, check MAFS

v6 , option.

did you tune it up at the 60k mile? point?
i use the real FSM on toyota for correct data.

Variable valve timing system - RH bank - malfunction
best i can tell for Toy V6 with VVT.
the vvt is failing,.
get a real FSM from toy
read the page on VVT, and 1354s
then do the tests stated there.
if vvt fails that bank retards and misfires.

Missfire

Have you replaced the coil yet? I assume by all 4 cylinders misfiring you mean P0300 Random Misfire? It could be a number of other things - a faulty fuel injector, coil, etc. Read this article for more info on random misfires - http://www.obd-codes.com/p0300
