VVT-i, or Variable Valve Timing with intelligence, is an automobile variable valve timing technology developed by Toyota, similar in performance to the BMW's VANOS. The Toyota VVT-i system replaces the Toyota VVT offered starting in 24 December 1991 on the 5-valve per cylinder 4A-GE engine. The VVT system is a 2-stage hydraulically controlled cam phasing system. The Toyota motors CEO has been reported to have said, "VVT is the heart of every modern Toyota!"[citation needed]
VVT-i, introduced in 1996, varies the timing of the intake valves by adjusting the relationship between the camshaft drive (belt, scissor-gear or chain) and intake camshaft. Engine oil pressure is applied to an actuator to adjust the camshaft position. Adjustments in the overlap time between the exhaust valve closing and intake valve opening result in improved engine efficiency.[1] Variants of the system, including VVTL-i, Dual VVT-i, VVT-iE, and Valvematic, have followed.

It is a 3.6 Liter engine with variable valve timing (VVT).
Trouble code P1349 means: VVT System Malfunction
2187-Too lean at idle-bank 1. 2189-too lean at idle bank 2. 1071- VVT module-internal malfunction. 1065-VVT timeout/no signal.
The code P1330 on a Volvo S80 indicates a problem with the Variable Valve Timing (VVT) system, specifically related to the VVT actuator or its control. This can result in poor engine performance, reduced fuel efficiency, and increased emissions. It is advisable to check the VVT solenoid, wiring, and timing belt for any issues, and to clear the code after repairs to see if it reoccurs.
Yes Toyota vehicles with a 3.3L V6 engine that has VVT-i have timing belts.
what is VVT-I
VVT is located in the front of the engine cam shaft. You may need a qualified service personnell to change it.
On most 4 cylinder Nissans, the solenoid for the VVT is located at the front passenger side of the cylinder head.

To repair the Variable Valve Timing (VVT) system on a 1999 Lexus RX300, first, diagnose the issue using an OBD-II scanner to check for any trouble codes. Common repairs may involve replacing the VVT sensor, cleaning or replacing the VVT solenoid, and ensuring that the timing chain and gears are in good condition. Additionally, check the oil level and quality, as low or dirty oil can affect VVT performance. If necessary, follow the manufacturer's service manual for detailed repair procedures.
