A failure will likely cause a check engine light code such as a P1349 in Toyota engines. A failing solenoid can cause a rough idle and weak low RPM performance or poor performance at high RPMs. The electrical parts of a variable valve timing solenoid are prone to failure as well. Old or dirty oil can cause a buildup of sludge and metal debris that may stop the solenoid from moving freely. Each part is carefully packed with a silica bag to avoid oxidization and moisture. There are over 200 SKUs available in the TPI line. Our variable valve timing solenoids easily plug into the original electrical harness and precisely mount into the stock location. Each VVT solenoid meets or exceeds OE specifications. This causes the rotor inside of the phaser to move in order to change camshaft timing.Īll variable valve timing solenoids sold by True Parts Incorporated have undergone various testing for quality assurance. To switch valve timing, a VVT solenoid receives an electronic signal from the vehicle’s ECU and then changes the supply of oil pressure that travels through it to the camshaft phaser. A VVT system also improves on fuel economy and emissions over an engine that lacks it. VVT switches an engine’s valve timing and lift duration based on different engine speeds to ensure the most power at both low and high RPM ranges. Most passenger vehicles sold today have a VVT system. Many mass market vehicles started to use VVT systems over two decades ago.

Variable valve timing solenoids are one of the many parts that makes variable valve timing (VVT) possible. How does VVT work The control solenoid receives a signal from the PCM and meters the flow of engine oil through a series of passages. Created on: This video shows you how to install a new variable valve timing solenoid in your 2006-2012 Ford Fusion.
