Spectra VTS1141 Engine Variable Valve Timing (VVT) Solenoid - Intake (Left)

Spectra VVT Solenoid for Subaru Tribeca

The Spectra VTS1141 is an engine variable valve timing solenoid built for precise oil control in the VVT system. It is a direct-fit service part for select Subaru Tribeca applications, including intake left positions for 2008-2010 models.

Key Features

• Engine variable valve timing (VVT) solenoid for intake-side control
• Built with manufacturing and quality control processes focused on consistent operation
• Helps maintain proper valve timing response for smoother engine performance
• Supports fuel economy and lower emissions when the VVT system is functioning correctly
• Direct replacement part number: VTS1141

Detailed Description

Use the Spectra VTS1141 when servicing the intake (left) VVT solenoid on a 2008-2010 Subaru Tribeca. This part is engineered to regulate oil flow to the variable valve timing system, helping the engine computer manage cam timing as operating conditions change. This part cross-references Standard Ignition VVT170 for the same application.

Compatible With 2008-2009 Subaru Tribeca, intake (left), and 2010 Subaru Tribeca, intake (left) with right side head notes from 05/2010 to 05/23/2010. The VTS1141 is a practical replacement when the original solenoid is no longer responding correctly or is affecting VVT operation.

What It Helps Fix

• Rough idle related to variable valve timing control issues
• Check engine lights tied to VVT solenoid performance
• Delayed or inconsistent cam timing response
• Reduced fuel economy caused by improper valve timing control
• Increased emissions from a malfunctioning VVT system

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the intake left position and model year before ordering. On 2010 Subaru Tribeca applications, confirm the right side head note and production date range listed in the fitment data. Inspect the connector, oil passages, and related engine oil condition during replacement to help ensure proper VVT operation.

Quality Assurance

Spectra builds these variable valve timing solenoids with precise manufacturing and quality control to support dependable engine operation and consistent emissions performance.
