Detailed Description

This Walker VVT solenoid is used to regulate oil pressure to the variable valve timing system, helping the engine computer manage cam timing response. For Toyota Tacoma trucks, a worn or sticking solenoid can contribute to drivability concerns and timing-related fault codes. The 590-1113 is built to match the listed connector style, terminal configuration, and mounting layout for service replacement on the specified Tacoma model years.

Compatible With 2005-2010 Toyota Tacoma and 2011 Toyota Tacoma built to 11/2010. This part cross-references Dorman - OE Solutions 918-057 and Standard Ignition VVT217 for the same application. Walker Products 590-1113 is a practical choice when replacing a failed VVT control solenoid on a Toyota Tacoma.

What It May Help Resolve

• Check engine light related to VVT system faults
• Rough idle caused by inconsistent cam timing control
• Reduced throttle response from delayed valve timing adjustment
• Engine performance issues tied to oil-control solenoid wear
• Timing-related drivability complaints on Toyota Tacoma models

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector shape, terminal count, and mounting location against the original part before installation. Inspect the electrical connector and surrounding wiring for corrosion or damage, and confirm the engine oil condition is within service limits, since VVT operation depends on clean oil flow. For best results, clear diagnostic trouble codes after replacement and confirm proper operation during a road test.
