The variable timing solenoid (VVT) is a device that is an ECU-controlled part that changes the control of the engine's valve lift. The component helps make the most of the fuel efficiency and enhances engine performance.
Variable timing solenoid conceptThe evolution of the VVT utilizes advanced electronic technology to apply variable electronic signals from the ignition system. The variable timing solenoid comes with every single car that the consumer purchases in the United States. Most VVT are relied on so they can manage the flow of oil to the VVT system.
The component is activated when there is a huge change in load against the engine. And once the VVT is engaged, oil is sent to lubricate the timing chain and gear assembly.
Common problems with a faulty variable timing solenoidA faulty variable timing solenoid can include an engine having trouble when going on a steep hill or the engine rough idling.
