Keep your engine's cam timing responding on cue with the Gates Engine Variable Valve Timing (VVT) Solenoid VVS361. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1996-2000 Honda Civic and the 1996-1997 Honda Civic del Sol, wiring back into the factory circuit that adjusts intake cam timing.

Built as a spool valve, this solenoid meters engine oil to the variable valve timing actuator on command from the engine control module, advancing or retarding cam timing to suit engine speed and load.

  • Spool-valve design: shifts to route engine oil to the VVT actuator as the ECM signals for a timing change.
  • Oil-flow control: regulates the pressurized oil that drives the cam phaser, helping timing track rpm and load.
  • Direct-fit replacement: serves as a replacement for the original solenoid on the listed Honda applications.

When the original solenoid sticks or fails electrically, cam timing can drift off target. If a faulty VVT solenoid is the cause, the VVS361 replaces it and re-establishes the designed oil-control path; diagnose the root cause first, since these symptoms can have other sources.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this VVT solenoid do?

It's a spool valve that meters engine oil to the variable valve timing actuator on ECM command, advancing or retarding cam timing to match engine speed and load.

Which vehicles does the VVS361 fit?

It's 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 your exact engine.

What are signs this solenoid may need replacing?

Signs that may point to a faulty VVT solenoid include a check engine light, rough idle, or reduced performance. Diagnose the cause first, since other parts can cause the same symptoms.

What part number does it interchange with?

It cross-references the OE/other-brand number 15810P2RA01. Its own manufacturer part number is Gates VVS361.

Will this fix my rough idle?

If a failed VVT solenoid is the cause of your rough idle or timing fault, this replaces it. Confirm the solenoid is the actual fault first, as the symptom can have other causes.
