2010 RAV4 low idle speed (engine dies at stops and turns)

2010 RAV4 was dying whenever I stopped, slowed to turn, or even took my foot off gas pedal. Very dangerous! Since it appeared to be an electrical problem, I did troubleshooting of battery, alternator, fuses, and ground but no improvement. I also tried the various reset/relearn procedures described online. Nothing worked until a diagnostic code indicated I should replace the variable valve timing solenoid… a part I had never heard of before. It is a precision part which responds to various engine loads. Evidently, when the engine slowed down—like to make a stop or turn--the solenoid failed to maintain the correct idle speed and the engine died. I bought the part for about $100 (you can get it for about half that online but I was in a hurry and there was only one part available in town that day). The installation should have been easy but I accidentally snapped off half of the old one and had to dig the remaining part out. A note that came with the new part said to immediately get an oil change using pure synthetic oil or else problems would probably continue (weird!). Finally, I performed the reset/ relearn procedure described elsewhere on YouTube. So far, the vehicle stops and turns without problems. Since so many of my previous fixed appeared to work, only to fail again once the engine warmed up, I'll be reporting back on my final results here.
