Detailed Description

Motorad 1VS124 is an engine management solenoid used in VVT systems to regulate oil pressure to the cam phaser. That control supports proper valve timing across changing engine loads and speeds. This part is a direct-service style replacement for select 1999-2008 Toyota Corolla, 2000-2005 Toyota Celica, 2000-2005 Toyota MR2 Spyder, 2003-2008 Toyota Matrix, 2003-2008 Pontiac Vibe, and 2002 Chevrolet Prizm applications. This part cross-references Gates VVS112 for the same application.

Common Issues This Part Can Address

• Check engine light related to VVT solenoid performance
• Rough idle caused by unstable cam timing control
• Reduced fuel economy from improper valve timing
• Higher emissions from delayed or incorrect VVT response
• Sluggish acceleration tied to cam timing faults

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector shape, terminal count, and mounting style before installation. This unit uses a black square plug-in connector, 2 wires, 2 male blade terminals, and 1 mounting hole. Confirm the shaft diameter and housing dimensions against the original part when servicing Toyota Corolla, Toyota Matrix, Pontiac Vibe, or related applications.
