NTK VV0004 VVT solenoid for the 2011-2014 Ford F-150 V6 3.7L, the 2012-2016 F-150 V6 3.5L and other vehicles is the electric valve that directs oil to change cam timing. This variable valve timing solenoid is built to meet and/or exceed OE fit, form and function so the VVT system works properly, with a valve body made to precise OE dimensions.
- Handles the demands of VVT engines at both low and high RPM
- Hard-coat anodized spool valve to prevent corrosion and increase service life
- Precision-wound, coated-copper windings for longer solenoid life
- Made from high-strength thermoplastic that resists temperature, moisture and chemicals
- Fluorocarbon O-rings on the valve body help prevent oil leakage
- Every unit is 100% tested and inspected, then tested in oil at the end of production so the valve is primed
