OE-Style VVT Solenoid for Intake Timing Control

The Gates VVS209 Engine Variable Valve Timing Solenoid is an OE performance replacement for intake-side oil control valve applications. Built to OE specifications for fit, form, and performance, it is designed to help restore engine response, idle quality, fuel economy, and emissions control on supported vehicles.

Common fitment includes the Dodge Journey, Jeep Compass, Jeep Patriot, Mitsubishi Lancer, Chrysler 200, Dodge Avenger, Dodge Caliber, Chrysler Sebring, and Mitsubishi Outlander with intake VVT applications.

Key Features

  • OE-style Engine Variable Valve Timing (VVT) solenoid for intake applications
  • Electromagnetic activation with 12V operation
  • Female connector with 1 connector, 2 male terminals, and pin terminal type
  • Seal and gasket/seal included for proper sealing at the engine
  • Constructed from durable materials for long service life
  • Designed to restore variable valve timing control on supported engines
  • Gates VVS209 part number for direct reference and ordering

Product Details

The Gates Engine Variable Valve Timing Solenoid, part number VVS209, is commonly referred to as an oil control valve and is built to match OE specifications in fit, form, and performance. Its electromagnetic design and sealed construction support precise oil flow control to the VVT system, which helps the engine adjust valve timing as commanded by the ECU. This can improve drivability on vehicles such as the Dodge Journey, Jeep Compass, and Mitsubishi Lancer when the original intake solenoid is worn, sticking, or no longer responding correctly.

This part cross-references Dorman OE Solutions 917-291 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

  • Rough or unstable idle caused by a failing intake VVT solenoid
  • Reduced engine performance from incorrect valve timing control
  • Lower fuel economy related to poor VVT operation
  • Check engine light conditions tied to VVT solenoid faults
  • Increased emissions from inconsistent intake cam timing

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the intake position and connector style before installation. Inspect the sealing surface, replace any damaged gasket area, and confirm the electrical connector is clean and secure. Because this is an engine control component, proper diagnosis of oil condition, wiring, and related VVT codes is recommended before replacement. The Gates VVS209 is listed for intake applications only on the vehicles shown in the fitment data.

Quality Assurance

Gates designs this VVT solenoid to OE specifications and tests it to help restore engine performance. High-quality materials are used to support durability and service life in normal engine operation.
