Dorman - OE Solutions Engine Variable Valve Timing (VVT) Solenoid P/N:918-130
Dorman 918-081 variable timing solenoid for the 1992-1995 Honda Civic 4-cylinder 1.6L and other vehicles is an electromagnetic solenoid that helps the engine adjust valve timing. It is engineered to match the function and performance of the stock part on specific vehicle applications.
A worn solenoid can show up as a rough idle, hesitation or a check engine light tied to valve timing. These signs alone do not prove the solenoid is the problem, since dirty or low engine oil can cause them too. This listing is a single solenoid, and the engine needs just one.
This solenoid is a direct-fit replacement for the 1992-1995 and 1999-2000 Honda Civic 4-cylinder 1.6L and the 1993-1997 Honda Civic Del Sol 4-cylinder 1.6L.
