I forgot to mention that i test the current output from the VSV wiring harness & noticed that the meter was reading 13+ volts instead of the 12v that the manual workshop states it should be running.
Could that extra 1+ volt enough to fried up the vacuum solenoid valve.?
I would think no and that the manual is just assuming a generic 12V system. The alternator output is somewhere between 13.5 and 14.5 volts.
