Walker Products 590-1079 VVT solenoid for the 2002-2006 Nissan Altima 4-cylinder 2.5L, the 2006-2014 Altima V6 3.5L and other vehicles regulates oil flow to the camshaft phasing system.
- Sends oil to the cam phaser or VVT sprocket to adjust valve timing with engine load and speed
- Precision-machined internal valves for oil flow control and pressure regulation
- Oil-resistant seals and oil-sealed connectors for constant engine operation
- Heat-tolerant metal housing for long-term engine operation
- Altered valve opening angles improve fuel efficiency, throttle response and emissions
Quick facts
- Part: Walker Products 590-1079 VVT solenoid
- Also called: variable valve timing solenoid
- Fits: the 2002-2006 Nissan Altima 4-cylinder 2.5L, the 2006-2014 Altima V6 3.5L and other vehicles
- Position: Right, left
- Material: Metal housing
- Condition: New
A variable valve timing solenoid can clog, stick open or closed, or fail electrically, which can set codes such as P0010–P0014 or P0020–P0024 and bring rough idle, hesitation or reduced power. Those signs alone do not prove the solenoid is at fault; low or dirty engine oil can cause similar trouble.
Fits
The 2002-2006 Nissan Altima 4-cylinder 2.5L, the 2006-2014 Altima V6 3.5L, the 2005-2017 Nissan Frontier 4-cylinder 2.5L, the 2008-2012 Nissan Pathfinder V8 5.6L and the 2013-2014 Pathfinder V6 3.5L all fit this VVT solenoid, and so do many other Nissan and Infiniti models. It is an OE replacement calibrated to the original electrical specs, oil flow rate and response timing. The fitment calls for one solenoid, and this listing is one. If your vehicle is not named here, find its year, model and engine in the "Vehicles it fits" section.
