OE-Style VVT Solenoid for Ford and Lincoln

The Gates VVS102 Engine Variable Valve Timing Solenoid is built to OE specifications for fit, form, and performance. It is designed for 12-volt electromagnetic operation and uses a female connector with pin terminals for a direct replacement on supported Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury applications.

Gates Engine Variable Valve Timing Solenoids are part of the brand’s OE performance line, focused on restoring proper oil control and cam timing response in engines that rely on variable valve timing. The VVS102 is constructed with durable materials and includes the seal and mounting bolt needed for the listed application.

Key Features

  • Gates VVS102 Engine Variable Valve Timing Solenoid
  • OE-spec fit, form, and performance
  • 12-volt electromagnetic activation
  • Female connector with 2 male terminals
  • Seal included for proper sealing at installation
  • Mounting bolt included
  • Built for Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury VVT applications

Detailed Description

This variable valve timing solenoid, also referred to as an oil control valve, regulates oil flow to the cam phaser system so the engine can adjust valve timing as conditions change. On applications such as the Ford F-150, Ford Mustang, Ford Explorer, Lincoln Navigator, and Mercury Mountaineer, a worn or sticking solenoid can affect idle quality, throttle response, fuel economy, and emissions performance. The Gates VVS102 is engineered to restore that control with OE-style dimensions and electrical configuration. This part cross-references Dorman OE Solutions 917-200 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

  • Rough or unstable idle caused by VVT control issues
  • Reduced engine response from delayed cam timing adjustment
  • Check engine lights related to variable valve timing faults
  • Poor fuel economy linked to incorrect oil control valve operation
  • Increased emissions from inconsistent valve timing control

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector style, terminal count, and mounting dimensions before installation. The VVS102 uses a 12-volt electromagnetic design with a single female connector and pin terminals, so matching the electrical connection is important for proper operation. Inspect the sealing surface and replace any damaged gasket area during service to help prevent oil leaks.

Quality Assurance

Gates designs this Engine Variable Valve Timing Solenoid to OE specifications and tests it to help restore engine performance, fuel economy, idle quality, power delivery, and emissions control on the listed applications.
