Gates VVT Solenoid for OE-Style Engine Control

The Gates VVS145 engine variable valve timing solenoid is built to OE specifications for fit, form, and performance. It is designed to restore proper oil control valve operation on applications such as Chevrolet Colorado, GMC Canyon, and Hummer H3 models with variable valve timing.

Gates’ Engine Variable Valve Timing Solenoid line focuses on direct replacement parts that match original equipment dimensions and electrical requirements. The VVS145 uses electromagnetic activation, a 12-volt design, a female connector with 2 male blade terminals, and an included seal for a cleaner, more secure installation.

Key Features

  • OE-spec replacement VVT solenoid for engine timing control
  • Electromagnetic activation for precise oil flow control
  • 12-volt electrical design with 1 connector and 2 terminals
  • Female connector and blade terminal configuration
  • Seal included for proper sealing at the mounting point
  • Constructed from durable materials for long service life
  • Direct-fit dimensions: 5.866 in overall length, 1.181 in overall width and height

Detailed Description

The Gates VVS145 variable valve timing solenoid helps regulate oil pressure to the cam phaser system so the engine can maintain correct valve timing. When the solenoid responds properly, the engine can run with smoother idle quality, improved power delivery, better fuel economy, and lower emissions. This part is a practical OE-style replacement for vehicles that use a VVT oil control valve in the engine management system.

Compatible With 2004-2012 Chevrolet Colorado, 2004-2012 GMC Canyon, 2006-2010 Hummer H3, 2009-2010 Hummer H3T, 2002-2009 Chevrolet Trailblazer, 2002-2009 GMC Envoy, 2005-2009 Saab 9-7x, 2003-2008 Isuzu Ascender, 2007-2008 Isuzu i-290, 2007-2008 Isuzu i-370, 2004-2007 Buick Rainier, 2002-2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT, 2002-2006 GMC Envoy XL, 2006 Isuzu i-280, 2006 Isuzu i-350, 2004-2005 GMC Envoy XUV, and 2002-2004 Oldsmobile Bravada. This part cross-references Standard Ignition VVT102 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

  • Rough or unstable idle caused by VVT control issues
  • Reduced engine response from incorrect cam timing control
  • Check engine light conditions related to oil control valve performance
  • Fuel economy loss tied to poor variable valve timing operation
  • Higher emissions from inconsistent valve timing control

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector style, terminal count, and mounting dimensions before installation. The VVS145 uses a single female connector, 2 blade terminals, and an included seal; mounting hardware is not included. Clean the mounting surface and inspect the engine oil condition, since contamination can affect VVT solenoid operation and shorten service life.

Quality Assurance

Gates manufactures this Engine Variable Valve Timing Solenoid to OE specifications in fit, form, and performance. High-quality materials and application-focused testing are used to help restore engine performance on the listed Chevrolet, GMC, Hummer, Saab, Isuzu, Buick, and Oldsmobile applications.
