It also serves select Toyota Celica and MR2 Spyder applications, as well as Chevrolet Prizm models listed in the fitment data.

Common Issues This Part Can Help Resolve

Rough or unstable idle caused by a failing VVT solenoid
Reduced engine response from improper cam timing control
Check engine light conditions related to variable valve timing operation
Lower fuel economy from inconsistent oil control valve performance
Increased emissions tied to poor VVT system function

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector style, terminal count, and shaft dimensions before installation. Inspect the sealing surface and replace any damaged gasket area during service. Confirm the vehicle uses a 12-volt electromagnetic VVT solenoid and follow the manufacturer service procedure for the specific Toyota Corolla, Matrix, Celica, MR2 Spyder, Pontiac Vibe, or Chevrolet Prizm application.

Quality Assurance

Gates designs this VVT solenoid to OE specifications and tests it to help restore engine performance, fuel economy, idle quality, power delivery, and emissions control. The part is built from high-quality materials for durability and maximum service life.
