Keep cam timing responding on cue with the Gates Engine Variable Valve Timing (VVT) Solenoid VVS361, a spool-valve oil control valve that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1996-2000 Honda Civic and the 1996-1997 Honda Civic del Sol (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment). Also called a variable valve timing solenoid, it continuously meters oil flow to the VVT actuator so the ECM can advance and retard valve timing as engine load and speed change.

  • Oil control valve function: the spool valve continuously controls oil flow for precise cam timing and normal engine operation.
  • Gates OE performance: designed to OE specifications in fit, form and performance.
  • Built for service life: constructed from high-quality materials for durability and long service.
  • Direct replacement: engineered for exact fit and easy installation.

If a stuck or clogged solenoid is the cause of a rough idle, a set VVT/timing code, or reduced fuel economy, replacing it with this unit restores the intended oil-flow control. Diagnose the cause before replacing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a variable valve timing solenoid and what does it do?

It is a spool-valve oil control valve that meters engine oil to the VVT actuator, letting the ECM advance or retard cam timing as engine speed and load change.

Does the VVS361 fit my vehicle?

It is a direct-fit replacement for the 1996-2000 Honda Civic and the 1996-1997 Honda Civic del Sol. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm engine-level fitment for your vehicle.

What interchange number does this solenoid replace?

It cross-references to 15810P2RA01. Matching this number to your original helps confirm you have the correct part.

What are signs this VVT solenoid may need replacing?

A set VVT or timing-related code, rough idle, or reduced fuel economy can signal a stuck or clogged solenoid. Diagnose the cause first, since these symptoms have other possible sources.

Is installation difficult?

It is designed as a direct replacement for exact fit and easy installation. Consult the vehicle service information for the correct procedure and torque specs.
