Dorman - OE Solutions Engine Variable Valve Timing (VVT) Sprocket P/N:917-251
Keep variable valve timing responding on cue with the Dorman - OE Solutions Engine Variable Valve Timing (VVT) Sprocket 917-260. This intake-camshaft phaser sprocket drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the listed Ford, Lincoln and Mercury applications, including the 2007-2010 Ford Edge, 2009-2011 Ford Flex, 2010-2011 Ford Fusion and 2008-2011 Ford Taurus — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
The VVT sprocket (cam phaser) sits on the intake camshaft and shifts its timing as the engine control module commands, based on load and RPM. Signs the original phaser may need replacing include a startup rattle, VVT-related trouble codes, or rough running; because these symptoms can have other causes, diagnose the fault before replacing. If a worn intake VVT sprocket is the cause, this unit replaces it.
