Gates Engine Variable Valve Timing (VVT) Solenoid P/N:VVS186
Gates VVS100 right VVT solenoid for the 2005-2019 Nissan Frontier V6 4.0L and other vehicles controls the oil flow that sets valve timing. Also called a variable valve timing solenoid, it is the electrically operated valve in that system.
A worn VVT solenoid can show up as a rough idle, poorer fuel economy or a check engine light, but other faults give the same signs. Before buying, look over the connector and the solenoid body with the engine off for oil, bent pins or cracks. A shop can run the electrical and oil-flow tests.
This is a direct-replacement VVT solenoid for the 2005-2012 Nissan Pathfinder V6 4.0L and the 2002-2006 Nissan Altima V6 3.5L, with a wide range of Nissan, Infiniti and Suzuki models also listed. It is built to OE specifications in fit, form and performance, for exact fit and easy installation. This listing is one solenoid for the right side; the left side is a separate part. Open the "Vehicles it fits" section to check your exact model and engine.
