Gates VVT Solenoid for Honda Applications
The Gates VVS322 Engine Variable Valve Timing Solenoid is an OE-performance replacement built to restore proper oil control and valve timing response. It is designed for 12-volt electromagnetic operation and uses a 2-pin female connector with 5 male blade terminals for a direct-fit style installation on supported Honda engines.
Compatible with 2005-2007 Honda Accord, 2005-2007 Honda Odyssey, and 2006-2008 Honda Pilot, this Gates VVT solenoid is built to OE specifications in fit, form, and performance. The Gates Engine Variable Valve Timing Solenoid line focuses on restoring factory-style operation with durable materials and tested performance for everyday drivability.
Key Features
- OE-style Engine Variable Valve Timing Solenoid / oil control valve
- 12-volt electromagnetic activation
- 2 connector terminals with female connector gender
- 5 male blade terminals
- Seal and gasket included for proper sealing
- Aluminum housing construction for durability
- Direct replacement for Gates VVS322 applications
Detailed Description
The Gates VVS322 is an Engine Variable Valve Timing (VVT) Solenoid designed to regulate oil flow for cam timing control on supported Honda engines. By helping the engine management system maintain accurate valve timing, this spool valve assembly supports smoother idle, improved throttle response, better fuel economy, and lower emissions when the original unit is worn or malfunctioning. This part cross-references Dorman OE Solutions 918-078 for the same application.
Common Problems This Part Can Address
- Check engine light related to VVT or oil control valve performance
- Rough or unstable idle caused by inconsistent cam timing control
- Reduced power or sluggish acceleration from delayed valve timing response
- Poor fuel economy linked to improper variable valve timing operation
- Increased emissions from a sticking or failing solenoid assembly
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify connector style, terminal count, and engine application before installation. Inspect the sealing surface and replace any damaged gasket area during service; this unit includes a seal and gasket. Clean the mounting area and check engine oil condition, since contamination can affect VVT solenoid operation. Confirm the vehicle application for 2005-2007 Honda Accord, 2005-2007 Honda Odyssey, or 2006-2008 Honda Pilot before ordering.
Quality Assurance
Gates designs this VVT solenoid to OE specifications in fit, form, and performance, using high-quality materials for durability and service life. Each unit is tested to help restore engine performance and consistent variable valve timing operation on the listed Honda applications.
