- Electromagnetic solenoid that continuously controls oil flow for precise valve timing
- Steel housing, 105 mm long and 28.6 mm wide
- Seal included with the solenoid
- 12-volt operation with a female connector and two male pin terminals
Quick facts
- Part: Gates VVS149 VVT solenoid
- Also called: variable valve timing solenoid
- Fits: 2003-2007 Honda Accord 4-cylinder 2.4L and other vehicles
- Material: Steel housing
- Condition: New
A rough idle, a check engine light or lower fuel economy can come from a failing VVT solenoid, though each has other causes too. Before replacing it, look over the connector and wiring for damage with the engine off and cool, and have a shop test the solenoid if the wiring looks sound. If the solenoid is the cause, this one replaces it.
