Detailed Description

This VVT solenoid, also referred to as an oil control valve, regulates oil flow to the variable valve timing system so the engine can adjust cam timing as designed. The Gates VVS313 is made to match OE specifications and is tested to restore engine performance on vehicles that depend on accurate timing control. It is a direct-fit replacement for many Acura and Honda models, including 2009-2014 Acura TL, 2010-2014 Acura TSX, 2009-2014 Honda Ridgeline, 2007-2013 Acura MDX, 2010-2013 Acura ZDX, 2009-2012 Acura RL, 2008-2012 Honda Accord, and 2007-2010 Honda Odyssey.

This part cross-references Dorman OE Solutions 916-866 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

  • Rough or unstable idle caused by VVT control issues
  • Reduced engine response from improper cam timing control
  • Lower fuel economy related to faulty oil control valve operation
  • Check engine light conditions tied to variable valve timing faults
  • Increased emissions from inconsistent valve timing performance

Installation Notes and Tips

  • Verify connector style, terminal layout, and housing dimensions before installation.
  • Inspect the sealing surface and replace any damaged gasket or seal area as needed.
  • Confirm the vehicle uses the correct VVT solenoid location for the engine application.
  • Check for oil contamination or sludge that could affect solenoid operation.
  • Use the vehicle’s service information for torque and diagnostic procedures.

Quality Assurance

Gates designs this Engine Variable Valve Timing Solenoid to OE specifications and tests it to help restore proper engine performance. The VVS313 is built with durable materials and includes a seal for a service-ready replacement on supported Honda and Acura applications.
