Left the car overnight. Started it this morning and the MIL EDL Engine Management Light went out. The idle and overall performance improved also on the way to work. Now getting 42-44mpg. Interestingly I read in the O2 Lambda sensor information sheet that NO Oil should be used on a heated O2 sensor. With the failed VVT solenoid putting out lots of oily fumes, this likely messed up the prior O2 sensors. So, back to normal and running again
