Engine VVT Solenoid Replacement

This Cloyes Engine Variable Valve Timing (VVT) Solenoid is a direct replacement for malfunctioning solenoids in Ford applications. Part number VTS133 is built for 12-volt electric operation and uses a 2-pin male connector for straightforward electrical integration.

Key Features

  • 12-volt electric activation for controlled VVT operation
  • Steel housing for durable engine-bay service
  • 2-pin male connector with male pin terminals
  • Single connector design for a clean replacement layout
  • Compact dimensions for OE-style packaging

Detailed Description

Cloyes VTS133 is an engine variable valve timing solenoid intended to replace a failed unit and restore proper oil control to the VVT system. The steel-bodied design, 2-terminal configuration, and electric actuation make it a practical replacement for higher-mileage engines that show timing control faults or drivability concerns. This part number, VTS133, is listed for Ford F-150, Ford F-250 Super Duty, Ford F-350 Super Duty, Ford Mustang, Ford E-350 Super Duty, and Ford E-450 Super Duty applications across the confirmed fitment range. This part cross-references Ford BR3Z6M280E for the same application.

What It Is Used For

  • Restoring variable valve timing control after solenoid failure
  • Addressing rough idle caused by VVT control issues
  • Correcting timing-related fault codes tied to the solenoid circuit
  • Replacing a worn electrical actuator in the VVT system
  • Supporting proper engine response in higher-mileage vehicles

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector style, terminal count, and mounting dimensions before installation. Confirm the application against the vehicle’s engine code and service information, since fitment is listed by model and year range. Use clean electrical connections and inspect the surrounding oil passages and harness condition during replacement. Compatible With 2010-2023 Ford F-150, 2011-2022 Ford F-250 Super Duty, 2011-2022 Ford F-350 Super Duty, 2011-2022 Ford Mustang, 2017-2019 Ford E-350 Super Duty, and 2017-2019 Ford E-450 Super Duty.

Quality Assurance

Cloyes positions this VVT solenoid as a replacement solution for malfunctioning units in higher-mileage vehicles. Part number VTS133 is engineered with a steel housing and OE-style electrical configuration to support consistent service replacement.
