What is the Variable Valve Timing (VVT) Solenoid all about?

Variable valve timing (VVT) helps to provide smoother idling, better power delivery for everyday needs, improved fuel economy, and superior emissions control. In order to achieve all of these tasks, your VVT system requires a number of different components including the variable valve timing solenoid. The VVT solenoid is responsible for changing the position of the camshafts in the engine. It works on oil pressure, and can either advance or retard cam position to provide the right performance from the engine. Each camshaft is equipped with a VVT solenoid, which is capable of altering the supply of oil pressure to the camshaft depending on the speed and load of the engine. If the VVT solenoid is not working properly, the Check Engine light will come on and your engine will perform noticeably worse.

Keep in mind:

  • The most common cause for VVT solenoid problems is dirty oil, which clogs the screen that sits between the solenoid and the VVT pressure switch.
  • If the solenoid doesn’t operate, the VVT system will remain disengaged, which can adversely impact engine performance, fuel economy and more.

How it's done:

  • The faulty variable valve timing actuator (VVT) solenoid is located and identified
  • The variable valve timing actuator (VVT) solenoid is removed
  • The new variable valve timing actuator (VVT) solenoid is installed
  • The engine is tested with a scanner for proper variable valve timing actuator (VVT) solenoid operation
  • The vehicle is road tested and checked for proper variable valve timing actuator (VVT) sensor operation

Our recommendation:

Because the solenoid is located at the camshaft (near the VVT switch), it cannot be inspected on a regular basis. The only time it will be inspected is if you are experiencing problems with the VVT system, or the Check Engine light illuminates and the computer provides a camshaft position or VVT system related code. If you do experience variable valve timing issues, have one of our expert mechanics diagnose and repair the issue.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Variable Valve Timing (VVT) Solenoid?

  • Vehicle gets poor fuel economy
  • Engine performance is diminished
  • Check Engine light is on

How important is this service?

If your vehicle is equipped with a variable valve timing system, it needs to operate as designed for proper performance and fuel efficiency. If your vehicle’s VVT solenoid is faulty, have it replaced as soon as possible to regain your lost performance.

Ford Edge V6-3.5L - Brake Pads Replacement (Front) - Marietta, Georgia
Collins came to my home to replace my front brake pads on 5/31/20 and I am very happy with his services. Unfortunately I did not meet him face to face out of an abundance of caution during the COVID-19 pandemic, but it was no problem at all, as he texted me throughout the process with updates and recommendations; but he did not try to sell me on anything extra and he was not at all pushy once I declined the additional service he recommended. His texts were professional and he did great work in a timely manner. He even texted me before he purchased the parts on the evening before my scheduled appointment to inquire about the state of my brakes, as to ensure that he brought all of the parts necessary for the job. Pricing is very fair, and you cannot beat having a mechanic who make house calls; because rather than waiting in the lobby of an auto repair shop with strong smells and loud noises, I was able to relax in the comfort of my own home. This was my first experience with a mobile mechanic, and I must say that I will absolutely utilize Collins' services again. I give my highest recommendation.
