OE-Style VVT Solenoid for Toyota Applications
The Gates VVS128 engine variable valve timing solenoid is built to OE specifications for fit, form, and performance. Commonly referred to as an oil control valve, it helps restore proper cam timing control for smoother operation, improved idle quality, and more consistent engine response.
Designed for select Toyota Tacoma, Tundra, 4Runner, and FJ Cruiser applications, this Gates engine variable valve timing solenoid uses an electromagnetic activation style and a female 1-connector, 2-terminal blade design. The VVS128 is constructed with durable materials and includes a seal/gasket for proper sealing at the mounting point.
Key Features
- OE-spec replacement VVT solenoid for precise fit and function
- Electromagnetic activation for variable valve timing control
- 12V electrical design with 1 female connector and 2 male blade terminals
- Seal and gasket included for a secure installation interface
- Steel shaft construction for durability and service life
- Overall dimensions: 4.843 in. long, 1.126 in. wide, 1.126 in. high
- Gates part number VVS128 for easy identification and ordering
Detailed Description
Gates OE performance Variable Valve Timing Solenoids are engineered to match original equipment specifications so the engine management system can control oil flow to the cam phaser as intended. On Toyota engines, a worn or sticking VVT solenoid can affect timing response and drivability. The VVS128 is built to restore that control with a direct-fit design for the right-side position on supported vehicles. This part cross-references Dorman OE Solutions 917-231 for the same application.
Compatible With 2005-2015 Toyota Tacoma, right; 2005-2010 Toyota Tundra, right; 2011 Toyota Tundra, right, Sept. 2010 & Older; 2003-2009 Toyota 4Runner, right; and 2007-2009 Toyota FJ Cruiser, right. If you are replacing a Toyota Tacoma VVT solenoid, Toyota Tundra oil control valve, or Toyota 4Runner variable valve timing solenoid, the Gates VVS128 is matched to the listed OE-style applications.
What It Helps Address
- Rough or unstable idle caused by a failing VVT solenoid
- Delayed or inconsistent cam timing response
- Check engine light conditions related to variable valve timing control
- Reduced engine performance from oil control valve wear or sticking
- Fuel economy loss tied to improper valve timing operation
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the connector style, terminal count, and right-side fitment before installation. Inspect the sealing surface and replace any damaged gasket area during service. Confirm the vehicle build date on 2011 Toyota Tundra models, since this application is listed for Sept. 2010 & older vehicles only. Always clear diagnostic trouble codes and confirm proper engine operation after installation.
Quality Assurance
Gates manufactures this VVT solenoid to OE performance standards and tests it to help restore engine operation, fuel economy, power delivery, idle quality, and emissions control. The VVS128 is built from high-quality materials for durability and long service life.
