My 2001 Tahoe with Vortec 5.3 engine was sluggish and then had a P0081 Code.
Research says the ECU can't talk to the "Intake Variable Valve timing Solenoid".
I am trying to find the correct GM part number to replace it.
Also, is it normal to replace the Exhaust VVT at the same time?
Thx

Hey Mudsport 96, you were right. The Scanner I was using was not actually talking to the Tahoe computer. That P0081 code was an old one in the scanner.
Turns out that the "Cigar" fuse was blown and thus the scanner could not connect. After replacing the fuse and connecting, I have a misfire code. I have ordered new Plugs, Wires and Coils.
Thanks for responding!
