HOLSTEIN Engine Variable Valve Timing (VVT) Solenoid P/N:2VTS0003
Help your engine adjust camshaft timing on command with the HOLSTEIN VVT Solenoid 2VTS0189, a left-position replacement that directs engine oil to the valve timing system. It is listed for several models, among them the 2003-2006 Nissan 350Z, 2003-2008 Infiniti FX35 and 2006-2008 Infiniti M35. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
A variable valve timing solenoid is an electrically controlled valve. When the engine control module signals it, the solenoid routes pressurized engine oil to the camshaft timing actuator, which advances or retards cam timing as engine speed and load change.
Signs this solenoid may need replacing include a check engine light with camshaft timing codes, a rough or unstable idle, hesitation, and reduced fuel economy. These symptoms can have other causes, such as low or dirty oil or wiring faults, so diagnose the system before replacing the part. If a failed solenoid is the cause, 2VTS0189 replaces it.
