• Description:

  Variable Valve Timing (VVT) Solenoid – Engine Oil Control Valve (23796-EZ30A)

  OEM Replacement Part for Nissan

  If your Nissan is experiencing rough idle, delayed acceleration, reduced engine power, or a check engine light related to camshaft timing, a failing variable valve timing solenoid may be the cause. The Genuine Nissan Variable Valve Timing (VVT) Solenoid (23796-EZ30A) regulates engine oil flow to the camshaft phaser, allowing the engine control module to adjust valve timing in real time.

  By adjusting camshaft timing based on engine load and speed, the VVT system improves horsepower, fuel efficiency, and emissions performance. When the solenoid becomes clogged with oil debris or fails electrically, the engine may lose timing control, resulting in hesitation, rough running, or diagnostic trouble codes. Replacing the VVT solenoid restores proper camshaft timing operation and helps return the engine to smooth, efficient performance.

  FAQ

  What does a VVT solenoid do?
  The VVT solenoid regulates oil flow to the camshaft phaser, allowing the engine to adjust valve timing for better performance, fuel efficiency, and emissions control.

  What are symptoms of a bad VVT solenoid?
  Common symptoms include rough idle, reduced engine power, hesitation during acceleration, poor fuel economy, and a check engine light.

  Can dirty engine oil cause VVT solenoid failure?
  Yes. Sludge or contaminated oil can clog the solenoid and prevent proper timing adjustment.

  Will replacing the VVT solenoid fix timing-related engine codes?
  If the solenoid is the cause of the timing fault, replacing it typically restores proper camshaft timing control.
