Product Details

Gates Engine Variable Valve Timing Solenoid VVS194 is engineered to match OE specifications in fit, form, and performance. The solenoid uses electromagnetic activation and a 12-volt electrical design, with a female connector and pin-style terminal layout for the specified applications. Its housing dimensions measure 4.685 inches long and 0.949 inches wide/high, with a 0.866-inch shaft diameter. Gates builds this VVT solenoid from high-quality materials and tests it to help restore engine performance, fuel economy, idle quality, power delivery, and emissions control.

This part cross-references Spectra Premium VTS1161 and Standard Ignition VVT355 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

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

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector style, terminal count, and OE dimensions before installation. Inspect the sealing surface and replace any damaged gasket or seal during service. Confirm the vehicle’s oil condition and follow the manufacturer’s service procedure for the VVT system, since contamination can affect solenoid operation.
