Has anyone run a VVT motor with the VVT not hooked up or disabled? Or put a VVT motor in a car using a pre VVT wiring harness w/o VVT connections? I have several 2.2 motors lying around! Most VVT(I think?) I expect I will be shoving one of them into a body(something I find/buy after I am back) this spring to have transportation during my “work time”. It’ll be cheaper than a rental car for 2 months!........I may buy a pickup instead? My enabler can sell it when I depart in the summer.

I think it will physically run, but I'm not sure if the ECM will like it and may throw codes. And the various sensor connectors may be different.

Thanks for that info! I believe it would require some coil pack requiring also. I think all the VVT motors are stand alone coils, individual plugs on each.

05,06, 07 were a little different and had a cover over the plugs. I’m not near one to look at but they are wired different under that cover. I’m getting garage(home) sick. ;) LOL

You can put a non VVT head on VVT engines as long as it's not 05/06. Reluctor wheels are different from 07 newer.
