You'll find the Engine Variable Valve Timing (Vvt) Solenoid inside the timing system. It monitors the engine speed and load and manages the flow of oil accordingly. When your Nissan Engine Variable Valve Timing (Vvt) Solenoid is working properly, it helps support fuel economy and engine performance.
How can you tell when it's time to replace the Engine Variable Valve Timing (Vvt) Solenoid? Watch for the following signs. Worse case scenario, a worn or broken Engine Variable Valve Timing (Vvt) Solenoid could mean engine failure, too. You may need a new Nissan timing solenoid if your engine starts rough idling, gas mileage gets noticeably worse, or your check engine light illuminates.
A common reason for Engine Variable Valve Timing (Vvt) Solenoid issues is old engine oil. Oil can block the passageway between the solenoid and other important engine parts and keep it from functioning properly. Changing your oil at regular intervals is one of the best ways to help prevent this problem in the first place.
