Gates Engine Variable Valve Timing (VVT) Solenoid P/N:VVS229
Keep variable cam timing shifting on cue with the Gates Engine Variable Valve Timing (VVT) Solenoid VVS320. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2008-2012 Honda Accord, 2008-2017 Honda Odyssey, 2009-2015 Honda Pilot, 2010-2011 Honda Accord Crosstour, 2012 Honda Crosstour, and 2014-2015 Acura RDX. Cataloged as the spool valve in the front head, it meters engine oil to the VVT cam phaser so the ECM can advance or retard valve timing to match engine load and speed.
Signs this solenoid may need replacing include a check engine light with VVT-related trouble codes, rough idle, or hesitation. If a failed VVT solenoid is the cause, this unit replaces it — diagnose the root cause before installing.
