By controlling timing response, it helps maintain engine power delivery, fuel economy, and emissions performance. This part is used on many Ford and Lincoln models, including Ford F-150, Explorer, Transit, Mustang, and Lincoln MKX applications, with fitment varying by year, engine layout, and position.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis part cross-references 917198 and 1802513031 for the same application. The SK917198 is a practical OE-style replacement when the original VVT solenoid is no longer regulating timing correctly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat It Helps Address\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRough idle caused by unstable valve timing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduced engine response from delayed cam timing control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFuel economy loss related to poor timing regulation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmissions issues tied to incorrect valve timing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCheck engine light conditions associated with VVT faults\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eVerify the exact year, model, position, and connector style before ordering.
