Gates Engine Variable Valve Timing (VVT) Solenoid P/N:VVS242
Gates VVS355 VVT solenoid for the 2003-2006 Mitsubishi Lancer 4-cylinder 2.0L controls oil flow to the engine's valve timing system. Also called a variable valve timing solenoid, it is designed to OE specifications in fit, form and performance.
A rough idle, lower fuel economy or a check engine light can mean this solenoid is worn, though a faulty camshaft position sensor or a weak oil pump can be behind the same signs, so find the cause before replacing it.
It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2003-2006 Mitsubishi Lancer 4-cylinder 2.0L, which takes one solenoid.
