Engine Variable Valve Timing (VVT) Solenoid - Gates VVS179

Engine Variable Valve Timing Solenoid

The variable timing solenoid controls oil flow to the camshaft phaser, adjusting valve timing for optimal performance and efficiency across the RPM range in VVT-equipped engines. Signs of failure include: a check engine light with a VVT code, rough idle caused by incorrect cam timing, a rattling noise from the camshaft phaser on startup, or noticeable performance loss. Replace a faulty variable timing solenoid to restore proper variable valve timing operation.
