I have ad the VVT plunger fail and throw oil all over my Timing Belt or cam belt as you guys have called it. I am replacing that belt and not driving the car for fear of it slipping. I will be getting it into a shop ASAP. However my question is this, I tested the VVT solenoid by unplugging it and NO NOISE. I plug it back in and NOISY. So do I have a bad solenoid? If so when I get the new belt and pulley replaced can I just leave this thing unplugged for now until a replacement can be accrued?
