SKP SK917019 Engine Variable Valve Timing (VVT) Solenoid

Engine VVT Solenoid Overview

The SKP SK917019 engine variable valve timing solenoid is a direct-fit replacement for select Toyota, Pontiac, and Chevrolet applications. It is used to control oil flow to the VVT system, helping the engine respond properly to timing commands.

Compatible With 2000-2008 Toyota Corolla, 2003-2008 Toyota Matrix, and other listed applications, this part number SK917019 is a practical replacement when the original solenoid is no longer operating correctly.

Key Features

• Engine variable valve timing solenoid for VVT system control
• Direct-fit replacement for listed applications
• Supports precise oil control for variable cam timing operation
• Cross-references Dorman OE Solutions 917-019, Gates VVS112, and Standard Ignition VVT164
• Part number SK917019 for easy identification

Detailed Description

The SKP SK917019 is an engine VVT solenoid built for vehicles that use electronically controlled variable valve timing. In applications such as the Toyota Corolla, Toyota Matrix, Pontiac Vibe, Toyota Celica, Toyota MR2 Spyder, and Chevrolet Prizm, the solenoid regulates oil passage to the timing mechanism so the engine can adjust cam timing as commanded by the control system. When the original unit sticks, leaks internally, or fails electrically, replacement with the correct solenoid restores normal VVT operation.

This part cross-references Dorman OE Solutions 917-019 and Gates VVS112 for the same application. Use part number SK917019 to verify the correct match before ordering.

What It Is Used For

• Restoring variable valve timing response after solenoid failure
• Addressing rough idle caused by VVT control issues
• Correcting timing-related fault codes tied to oil control operation
• Replacing a worn or electrically failed VVT solenoid
• Recovering proper cam timing control in listed Toyota, Pontiac, and Chevrolet models

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the connector style, mounting location, and engine application against the original part before installation. Clean the mating surface and inspect the oil passages for sludge or contamination that could affect solenoid operation. Always verify fitment by vehicle year, make, and model, including the part number SK917019.

Quality Assurance

SKP replacement parts are cataloged for direct-fit application matching. Verify the vehicle listing and interchange references before installation to ensure the correct VVT solenoid for your engine.
