Gates 2013 Ford Explorer V-6 3.5L Engine Variable Valve Timing Solenoid

This Gates Variable Valve Timing (VVT) Solenoid, part number VVS117, is built with a durable brass terminal and a robust plastic housing, designed to manage the precise oil flow needed for your engine's VVT system. The VVT system adjusts camshaft timing on the fly, which helps your engine run more efficiently across a wider range of speeds and loads. This means you get better fuel economy when you're cruising and more power when you need it, all while keeping emissions in check.

This solenoid is a direct replacement for the original part on a wide variety of Ford, Lincoln, and Mazda vehicles, including models like the Ford Explorer, Lincoln MKS, and Mazda CX-9. It's a well-built component that ensures your engine's computer can accurately control oil pressure to the VVT actuators, keeping your engine's timing optimized. Proper VVT operation is key to smooth performance and responsiveness, so replacing a faulty solenoid with a reliable part like this Gates unit can make a noticeable difference in how your engine runs.
