Product Details

The Standard Motor Products VVT278 is a direct-fit replacement Variable Valve Timing (VVT) solenoid designed to restore engine performance, efficiency, and emissions control. This precision-engineered solenoid controls the timing of the engine's camshaft, optimizing power delivery and fuel economy across the RPM range.

Key Features:

  • Hard anodized steel components resist sticking during sludge buildup for extended service life
  • OE-match engineering ensures stable VVT system operation with minimal PCM correction
  • Premium O-rings and gaskets prevent premature oil leaks
  • 100% end-of-line tested to meet or exceed OE performance standards
  • Direct-fit replacement effectively restores engine horsepower and torque curves
  • Reduces emissions and improves overall vehicle efficiency

Standard Motor Products VVT solenoids are developed and tested at an IATF 16949-certified facility, featuring design improvements that address common OE weaknesses. VVT solenoids can fail due to low engine oil levels or irregular oil change intervals, making this a critical replacement component for maintaining proper engine performance.
