I had my VCT unit replaced recently now my check engine light keeps coming on. The dealer thought it was the selonoid and recycled 20 times as directed in literature. The light is back on again. Does anyone have any thoughts?

Is the vehicle under warranty, or did you pay out-of-pocket?

I would return the vehicle to the dealer and insist that it be repaired properly. There has to be one or more stored trouble codes that should point the technician (I use that term loosely) in the right direction.

Yes, I'm still under warranty. I'm actually sitting at the dealership as we speak! The technician keeps telling me the light has to be on or there isn't much they can do. The light was on yesterday and this morning when I started her up. Of course the light goes out on my way here.

Unless the battery was disconnected (erasing the stored trouble codes) - there still should be one or more stored trouble codes.

the solenoid was replaced and the light has not come on again, fingers crossed!
