    I hate to keep beating a dead horse, but something should be able to be fixed. This noise in my start up video, started just 3-5,000 miles ago totally out of nowhere. I have researched every forum, YouTube, been to my local mechanic and Toyota. Nothing. However it only does it on cold starts and sometimes 2 weeks between occurrences. The delay between actually start up and the idle up / to when the noise actually starts and then briefly reoccurs seems to be different from all the other VVTi videos I have heard. There is always that delay. But still suspect that’s the issue. IDK. I have replaced usual maintenance items just to rule them out (tensioner, pulleys, belt). Running Toyota filter and 0w20 synthetic. (Had a Valvoline syn blend and filter history before). Also, removed and inspected the oil Control valve solenoids. The looked clean and operated correctly when connected to power, while I inspected with them out. I’m at a loss, other than running a flush and keep running the Toyota full syn 0w20 and OEM filter and hope it works itself out. My OCD is getting the best of me. Haha

    Any more ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. (Including a shut up and drive it, it’s ok)
