Standard Motor Products VVT255 Variable Valve Timing Solenoid

The Standard Motor Products VVT255 is a direct-fit replacement variable valve timing (VVT) solenoid designed to restore optimal engine performance, efficiency, and emissions control. This precision-engineered component controls oil flow to the variable valve timing system, allowing the engine control module to adjust camshaft timing for improved horsepower, torque delivery, and fuel economy across the entire RPM range.

Premium Construction Features:

• Hard anodized steel componentry resists sticking during oil sludge buildup for extended service life
• Welded filter screens with reinforced construction prevent debris contamination
• Premium O-rings and gaskets ensure proper sealing and prevent oil leaks
• 100% end-of-line testing guarantees proper operation before shipment
• Meets or exceeds OEM specifications for fit, form, and function

Standard Motor Products manufactures VVT solenoids with improved design over original equipment, featuring enhanced materials and construction methods developed through extensive testing. When VVT solenoid failure occurs, symptoms may include rough idle, engine stalling, poor acceleration, rattling noises at startup, and diagnostic trouble codes such as P0011, P0014, P0016, or P0017. This solenoid operates on 12-volt systems and provides the precise control needed for modern variable valve timing systems.

Professional Installation Note: When replacing VVT solenoids, it is recommended to change engine oil and filter at the same time, as contaminated oil is a leading cause of solenoid failure. If one solenoid has failed, consider replacing all VVT components simultaneously as they typically wear at similar rates.
