Key Features

• Direct-fit engine VVT solenoid for straightforward replacement.
• Controls oil flow to the variable valve timing system.
• Supports accurate cam timing response under changing engine conditions.
• SKP part number SK917207 for easy identification.
• This part cross-references Dorman - OE Solutions 917-207 for the same application.

Detailed Description

The SK917207 is an engine variable valve timing solenoid used in Hyundai and Kia engines equipped with VVT control. By regulating oil pressure to the timing system, it helps the engine adjust valve timing as operating conditions change. This part number, SK917207, is listed for multiple Hyundai Elantra and Hyundai Tucson applications, along with Kia Soul, Sportage, Spectra, and Spectra5 coverage.

Use SK917207 when replacing a worn or failing VVT solenoid that can affect timing control and engine performance. It is a practical replacement for Hyundai Elantra and Kia Sportage service work where the original solenoid no longer responds correctly.

What It Is Used For

• Restoring variable valve timing control when the solenoid is no longer operating correctly.
• Addressing rough running caused by inconsistent cam timing control.
• Correcting timing-related warning lights tied to VVT system faults.
• Replacing a solenoid that is stuck, slow to respond, or electrically failed.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the part number SK917207 against the vehicle application before installation. Confirm connector style, mounting location, and engine code match the original component. Inspect the oil passages and related VVT components during service to avoid repeat failures.
