Application Details

Compatible with 2011-2012 Kia Sedona, intake (right), to 02/2012; 2011-2012 Kia Sorento, intake (right), to 02/2012; and 2010-2011 Hyundai Santa Fe, intake (right), to 02/2012.

What It Helps Address

• Rough idle caused by inconsistent cam timing control
• Check engine lights related to VVT solenoid performance
• Reduced fuel economy from improper valve timing operation
• Emissions concerns tied to delayed or erratic timing response
• Engine hesitation or drivability issues linked to oil control problems

Installation Notes

Confirm the intake (right) position and the vehicle build date before installation. Inspect the connector, wiring, and oil passages for contamination or damage, and replace the solenoid only after verifying the root cause of the timing fault. This part cross-references Standard Ignition VVT126 for the same application.
