I've changed the oil and cleared the code only to have it come back. What should I replace next?

P0026 SUBARU - Intake Valve Control Solenoid Circuit Range/Performance Bank 1

Possible causes

- Dirty engine oil

- Low engine oil level

- Faulty intake valve control solenoid

- Intake valve control solenoid harness is open or shorted

- Intake valve control solenoid circuit poor electrical connection

If you changed the oil have a look at the remaining bits [emoji5]

Could the oil pressure switches be causing the code? Intake valve control solenoid was replace just before I bought the car.

Replaced the one on the passenger side. Changed oil. Inspected wires for damage. All ok. Still have a pool code coming back after clearing codes. What do I do next?

Have you replaced the drivers side sensor (bank 1).

How long between oil changes previously do you know? 

Ordered for the drivers side I don't know about previous oil changes. But I've given it 2 in 1500mi to try to get this code to go away.

Cylinder 1 and 3 are on the drivers side , (right bank) but I'm unsure what side is ment by "bank 1 " .

If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊

It's an American thing I think 😒

Yeah, I wasn't being picky I've just never heard the terminology before .

Also The classics have got "LH" on the underside of the left head and I suppose you can guess where "RH" is [emoji39]

If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊
