1.4 Multi Air Turbo VVT Fault

I recently inherited my older brother's 2013 Dart. He has always had issues with it and its my opinion that's because of lack of maintenance (he was in the Navy and was on multiple deployments of 6-9 months so I'm giving him a pass). Its been sitting in my garage for months since his funeral and I finally decided to take it to the dealer to get it diagnosed. I spoke with the service advisor yesterday and he told my the one misfire code was because of the Cylinder 2 VVT Oil Supply Solenoid. Now I have gone down the rabbit hole and have found various threads with potential solutions. I'm thinking I'm going to try the ATF+4 trick and see if that works. I will obviously check the connectors as well. Does anyone have any other suggestions or possible solutions ? All of the threads I've seen have been for the 2.4L and 2.0 engines. @alpinegreenneon please help !

when I scanned it there wasn’t a vvt solenoid code only a misfire code and the dealership says that’s what causing the misfire. I’m picking the car up today or tomorrow so I’ll have more info then.

Sounds great ! Thanks for the feedback. The code for the misfire listed on the paper work is P106700. I scanned it once I got home and there’s no misfire code. I will drive it and see if it comes back. Here’s the codes that are coming up still.

Stored/Confirmed

P0073

Ambient Air Temperature Sensor Circuit "A" High

Pending

P0073

Ambient Air Temperature Sensor Circuit "A" High

P0325

P0073

Ambient Air Temperature Sensor Circuit "A" High

P0324

P0327

Knock Sensor 1 Circuit Low

P0328

Knock Sensor High (Bank1)


Both the knock sensor and ambient temp sensor have been replaced in the past but I’ll check them out again.

@alpinegreenneon I did the whole diagnostic and everything checked out. I even replaced the knock sensors with an oem one. The only code that’s coming back is P0324 Knock Control System. There are stored codes but I know it may take a bit for them to go away. Any thoughts ?
