What is a Valve Timing Solenoid?
If you suspect your VTEC, VVT-I, MIVEC, or CVTC system isn’t functioning properly, the problem may be due to a malfunctioning valve timing solenoid.The acronyms above refer to the same thing: variable valve timing systems. Manufacturers made up unique names for their systems even though they all function in the same way. Although many modern engines will start and run without one, all variable valve timing systems require a functional solenoid for their engines to run properly.
