Keep variable valve timing responding on cue with the Standard Ignition Engine Variable Valve Timing (VVT) Solenoid, MPN VVT133 — a direct-fit replacement for the 2012 Kia Soul (L4-2.0L), cataloged for the intake camshaft position.
This electromagnetic oil-control valve regulates the flow of pressurized engine oil to the intake camshaft phaser, letting the ECM advance or retard cam timing on demand. If a failed VVT solenoid is the cause of rough idle, VVT-related trouble codes, or sluggish response, this unit replaces it — diagnose the underlying cause before replacing.
- 12V electromagnetic operation: activation type is electromagnetic, running on the vehicle's 12-volt supply.
- Single connector: one female oval connector (plug/socket) with a single male blade terminal.
- Metal and plastic housing with an 18 mm (0.7 in) shaft.
- Engineered for Kia engines and given 100% end-of-line testing to meet or exceed OE performance.
