Common Issues This Part May Address

• Check engine light related to VVT or oil control valve performance
• Rough idle or inconsistent engine timing behavior
• Reduced throttle response caused by timing control faults
• Engine performance concerns tied to a failing solenoid on the right side
• Diagnostic trouble codes associated with variable valve timing operation

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the connector style, terminal layout, mounting-hole pattern, and right-side location before installation. Confirm vehicle year, make, model, and engine configuration against the listed fitment, especially on Nissan 350Z applications with the November 2006 cutoff and on models noted as using an integrated oil control valve. Compare the original part number and connector orientation to the existing component before replacement.
