Gates 10-23 Toyota 4 Runner V-6 4.0L Exhaust (Right) Engine Variable Valve Timing Solenoid

This Gates Variable Valve Timing (VVT) solenoid is built with a durable, corrosion-resistant metal housing, ensuring it can handle the heat and oil exposure common in engine compartments. It's designed to control the flow of oil to the VVT actuator, which adjusts camshaft timing to improve engine performance and fuel efficiency. If your engine is running rough, has a check engine light related to camshaft timing, or is experiencing reduced power, this solenoid is a key component to inspect.

This particular solenoid is for the exhaust side and the right bank of the engine, critical for precise timing adjustments. Gates has a solid reputation for making well-built engine components, and this VVT solenoid is no exception. It's a direct replacement part, meaning it's made to fit right into the factory location, simplifying installation for a mechanic or a DIYer. Proper VVT operation is essential for getting the best out of your engine, especially during varying load conditions.

This part fits a wide range of Lexus and Toyota vehicles, including popular models like the Toyota 4Runner, Sequoia, and Tundra, as well as many Lexus GS, IS, LS, and LX series cars and SUVs. When replacing a VVT solenoid, it's often a good idea to also check the condition of the engine oil and the oil filter, as clean oil is crucial for the proper operation of the VVT system.
