We just completed a compression test on all 6 cylinders and they are all reading ~210 PSI.

I have read some things about the camshaft variable timing solenoid. Should i be investigating this solenoid? I heard you can remove it, and apply voltage to them to see if they are actuating. Others mentioned about the VCT sensor?

Any ideas on next steps would be great. We are continuing on Markus' step 1. The oil was replaced a few weeks ago with the recommended Mobil One oil and a new filter was installed.

Thanks,
Sean
