I installed the OEM Toyota filter p/n 90915-YZZA2.

Still making noise as described below. Has anyone grounded the VTC soleniods? Does this really help? I did disconnect them and then energized them one at a time, but the nosie did not change.

"Although my VTCs were ticking, the car is now making more of a whirling noise at acceleration, almost like a belt noise but I removed the belts and the nosie did not go away. It does it in park or drive and only upon acceleration. Could this still be the VTCs or is it the timing chain/tensioner???"

Any help to diagnose this problem would be helpful and greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Doug
