Gates VVS356 Variable Valve Timing Solenoid

The Gates VVS356 Variable Valve Timing (VVT) Solenoid is an engine management component designed to control the flow of oil to the variable valve timing system. This solenoid regulates cam phasing to optimize engine performance, fuel efficiency, and emissions across different operating conditions.

Key Features:

• Precision-engineered valve timing control for optimal engine performance
• Direct-fit replacement solenoid for reliable installation
• Durable construction designed to withstand engine heat and oil exposure
• Helps maintain proper cam timing for improved throttle response and fuel economy
• Gates quality engineering for long-lasting performance

Variable valve timing solenoids are critical components in modern engines with VVT systems. When the engine control module signals for timing adjustment, this solenoid opens to allow pressurized oil to flow into the cam phaser mechanism, advancing or retarding valve timing as needed. A failing VVT solenoid can cause rough idle, poor acceleration, decreased fuel economy, and check engine lights.
