Standard Motor Products VVT193 Variable Valve Timing Solenoid

The Standard Motor Products VVT193 is a direct-fit replacement Variable Valve Timing (VVT) Solenoid designed for Ford and Mercury vehicles. Also known as a VVT actuator or oil control valve, this solenoid regulates engine oil flow to the camshaft phaser, allowing the engine control module (ECM) to optimize cam timing for improved performance, fuel efficiency, and reduced emissions.

Key Features:

• Hard anodized components for enhanced corrosion resistance and long service life
• Solid one-piece valve body construction prevents spring loosening and maintains structural integrity
• Welded steel oil screen for durability and optimized lubrication flow
• Integrated oil check valve prevents backflow that can cause delayed or erratic VVT operation
• Direct OE replacement — engineered to integrate precisely with Ford and Mercury VVT systems
• Developed and validated at an IATF 16949-certified manufacturing facility
• 100% end-of-line tested to ensure correct on-vehicle performance

VVT solenoid failure commonly triggers diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) related to cam timing performance and can result in symptoms such as rough idle, poor throttle response, and reduced fuel economy. Regular engine oil and filter changes are essential to VVT solenoid longevity. When replacing a VVT solenoid, it is recommended to also replace the engine oil and filter to prevent premature failure of the new component.
