Gates Engine Variable Valve Timing (VVT) Sprocket P/N:VCP843
Gates VCP871 VVT sprocket for the 2006 Chevrolet Colorado 4-cylinder 2.8L and other vehicles shifts the sprocket's position to advance or retard valve timing. It is designed to OE specifications in fit, form and performance.
A rough idle, lower fuel economy or a valve timing fault code can mean the sprocket is worn. These signs alone do not prove the sprocket is the problem, since a stretched timing chain is another common cause.
This VVT sprocket is a direct replacement for the 2006 Chevrolet Colorado 4-cylinder 2.8L, the 2006 GMC Canyon 4-cylinder 2.8L and the 2006 Isuzu I-280 4-cylinder 2.8L, and each takes one.
