Detailed Description
This variable valve timing solenoid, also called an oil control valve, regulates oil flow to the VVT system so the engine can adjust cam timing as designed. The Gates VVS417 is engineered for direct replacement use in 2004-2014 Ford F-150, 2005-2014 Ford Expedition, 2005-2014 Lincoln Navigator, 2006-2010 Ford Explorer, 2006-2010 Mercury Mountaineer, 2006-2008 Lincoln Mark LT, 2004-2009 Ford F-350, 2004-2010 Ford F-150 Heritage, 2005-2010 Ford F-250 Super Duty, 2005-2010 Ford F-350 Super Duty, and 2005-2010 Ford Mustang. This part number, VVS417, is built to restore proper VVT operation in these Ford and Lincoln platforms.
This part cross-references 8L3Z 6C260 A and 8L3Z 6C260 B for the same application.
What It Helps Address
- Rough or unstable idle related to VVT control issues
- Reduced engine power caused by improper cam timing control
- Poor fuel economy from inconsistent valve timing operation
- Increased emissions from a malfunctioning oil control valve
- Check engine light concerns tied to variable valve timing faults
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify connector style, terminal layout, and mounting dimensions before installation. The VVS417 uses a female connector, one blade terminal, and a 12-volt electromagnetic design, with an overall height of 39 mm, housing width of 29 mm, and housing length of 158 mm. Confirm the seals seat properly and inspect the mating surface for oil contamination or debris before installing the new solenoid.
Quality Assurance
Gates manufactures this Engine Variable Valve Timing Solenoid to OE specifications and tests it to help restore engine performance, fuel economy, idle quality, and emissions control in the listed applications.
