The variable valve timing solenoid is an electrically controlled solenoid that is activated to advance or retard the timing using oil pressure. This is why keeping the motor oil clean on cars equipped with variable valve timing is so important. Dirty oil can clog the solenoid and cause it to fail, or it may fail electronically and no longer alter the timing. This can cause misfires and poor engine performance. Signs that the VVT solenoid on your Focus may have reached the end of use can include erratic idle speeds, misfiring at idle, a loss of power, and the Check Engine light may come on. If your Ford Focus needs a replacement variable valve timing solenoid, O'Reilly Auto Parts carries the parts you need to restore your car's performance.
