Overview

Cloyes VTS153 is an engine variable valve timing solenoid for intake-side applications on select Ford vehicles. It is built as a replacement for a malfunctioning VVT solenoid and is suited to higher-mileage repair work where precise valve timing control matters.

Compatible With Ford Fusion, Ford Escape, Ford Fiesta, and Ford Transit Connect applications listed below, this Cloyes VTS153 part number is a direct-fit service component for the intake VVT circuit.

Key Features

  • Electric 12-volt activation for controlled VVT operation.
  • Steel housing for durable engine-bay service.
  • Male pin, 2-pin electrical connection.
  • Single connector design for straightforward replacement.
  • Engine variable valve timing solenoid built for intake applications.

Detailed Description

The Cloyes VTS153 variable valve timing solenoid is engineered to replace a failed intake VVT solenoid and restore proper oil-flow control to the timing system. It uses an electric actuator design with a steel body, male connector, and two-pin terminal layout. The part number VTS153 is associated with Ford Fusion, Escape, Fiesta, and Transit Connect fitments, making it a focused repair solution for common drivability and timing-related service needs.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., CN1Z6M280F) for the same application.

What It Is Used For

  • Restoring variable valve timing response after solenoid failure.
  • Addressing rough idle caused by timing control issues.
  • Correcting engine warning lights related to VVT faults.
  • Improving intake timing control on affected Ford engines.
  • Replacing a worn or electrically failed solenoid assembly.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the connector style, terminal count, and intake-side fitment before installation. Confirm the part number VTS153 against the vehicle application and inspect the electrical connector and surrounding components for wear or contamination during service.

Quality Assurance

Cloyes supplies replacement engine timing components for service applications, and this VVT solenoid is intended as a repair part for malfunctioning units.
