Variable Valve Timing Solenoid: Description and Operation

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The intake valve timing control system is utilized to control intake valve opening and closing timing.

Engine coolant temperature signals, engine speed, amount of intake air, vehicle speed and throttle position are used to determine intake valve timing. The intake camshaft sprocket position is regulated by oil pressure controlled by the intake valve timing control.

When PCM sends ON signal to intake valve timing control solenoid valve, oil pressure is transmitted to camshaft sprocket. Then, intake side camshaft is advanced.
