Gates VVS194 Engine Variable Valve Timing (VVT) Solenoid Oil Control Valve

The Gates VVS194 is an OE-grade Engine Variable Valve Timing (VVT) Solenoid, also commonly referred to as an Oil Control Valve (OCV). Engineered to meet original equipment specifications in fit, form, and performance, this direct-fit replacement restores proper VVT system function and overall engine efficiency.

The solenoid uses electromagnetic activation to continuously regulate oil flow to the camshaft phaser, enabling precise intake and exhaust valve timing adjustments across the RPM range. A proper-functioning VVT solenoid is critical to maintaining optimal fuel economy, power output, idle quality, and emissions compliance.
