Gates VVS239 Engine VVT Solenoid Overview

The Gates VVS239 engine variable valve timing solenoid is an OE-style replacement built to restore proper oil control for variable valve timing systems. It is designed for 12-volt electromagnetic operation and uses a female connector with pin terminals for a direct-fit service replacement.

Gates Engine Variable Valve Timing Solenoids, also called oil control valves, are engineered to OE specifications in fit, form, and performance. This product line focuses on restoring the valve timing response needed for smoother idle, improved fuel economy, stronger power delivery, and lower emissions.

Key Features

  • Part number: VVS239
  • 12-volt electromagnetic activation
  • Female connector with 2 male pin terminals
  • Seal and gasket included for proper sealing
  • OE-spec fit, form, and performance
  • Constructed with durable materials for service life
  • Contents: solenoid and screw

Detailed Description

The Gates VVS239 variable valve timing solenoid regulates oil flow to the VVT system so the engine can adjust cam timing as commanded by the control module. This OE performance replacement is built for vehicles that use an exhaust or intake VVT solenoid, depending on application, and is a direct service part for many GM platforms. It is a strong match for drivers searching for a Chevrolet Malibu exhaust VVT solenoid, GMC Terrain intake solenoid, or Cadillac CTS exhaust oil control valve replacement. The VVS239 also cross-references Dorman OE Solutions 916-937 for the same application.

Common Symptoms This Part May Address

  • Rough or unstable idle
  • Reduced fuel economy
  • Loss of low-end or midrange power
  • Check engine light related to cam timing or VVT control
  • Delayed or inconsistent valve timing response

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the connector style, terminal count, and engine position before installation. This solenoid uses a female connector, pin terminals, and electromagnetic activation, so matching the original electrical and mounting design is important. Inspect the sealing surface and replace any damaged gasket area during service to help prevent oil leaks and VVT control issues. Confirm whether the vehicle calls for an exhaust or intake position before ordering.

Quality Assurance

Gates designs this Engine Variable Valve Timing Solenoid to OE specifications and tests it to help restore engine performance, fuel economy, idle quality, and emissions control. High-quality materials are used to support durability and maximum service life.
