Walker 590-1193 Engine Variable Valve Timing (VVT) Solenoid - Intake

Walker 590-1193 VVT Solenoid Overview

Walker 590-1193 is an OE replacement engine variable valve timing solenoid for intake applications. It restores controlled oil flow to the cam phaser or VVT sprocket, helping maintain proper camshaft timing in real driving conditions.

Compatible with select Ford Fusion, Escape, Fiesta, and Transit Connect models, this Walker VVT solenoid is built for direct-fit service on vehicles that need precise oil control and reliable electrical response.

Key Features

• OE replacement VVT solenoid for intake-side timing control
• Precision-machined internal valve for regulated oil flow
• Heat-resistant plastic housing for engine-bay durability
• Oil-sealed connector design for dependable operation
• Direct-fit electrical connection with factory-style mounting
• Silver body with gray connector, oblong connector shape, 2 terminals, and 1 mounting hole

Detailed Description

The Walker 590-1193 variable valve timing solenoid controls pressurized oil delivery to the cam phaser, allowing the engine to adjust valve timing based on load and speed. That control helps support fuel efficiency, throttle response, and emissions performance. This part cross-references Dorman OE Solutions 916-723 for the same application.

Use this solenoid on 2013-2018 Ford Escape intake, 2013-2018 Ford Fusion intake, 2014-2016 Ford Transit Connect intake, 2014-2018 Ford Fiesta intake, and 2019-2020 Ford Fusion intake, 2019 Ford Escape intake, and 2019 Ford Fiesta intake with oil control valve notes where listed. Walker 590-1193 is also referenced by part numbers 35-1162, CN1Z6M280A, CN1Z6M280C, VTS1171, VV1165, and Standard Ignition VVT265.

Common Issues This Part Can Address

• Check engine lights tied to VVT solenoid fault codes such as P0010-P0014 or P0020-P0024
• Rough idle or unstable engine operation
• Hesitation during acceleration
• Reduced power from incorrect cam timing control
• Oil flow control problems caused by a sticking or electrically failed solenoid

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the intake position and connector style before installation. This part uses a female connector with two male terminals and a single mounting hole, so matching the factory connector and mounting point is important for proper fitment. For best results, inspect the engine oil condition and address sludge or contamination that could affect VVT operation.

Quality Assurance

Walker Products engineers these VVT solenoids to meet or exceed OE specifications for electrical response, oil flow control, and pressure regulation. The design uses heat-resistant materials and sealed connections to support consistent operation in modern Ford engine platforms.
