This little guy is responsible for precisely timing the camshaft in your engine. It works with the whole variable valve timing system—that’s what the VVTi stands for—to adjust when the engine’s valves open and close. It basically controls how much air gets into the engine and how much exhaust gets out. It’s a geared wheel with some pretty sophisticated internal parts that react to oil pressure changes. It's a crucial component of the engine's valve train. Everything’s connected, you see. The crankshaft turns, that turns a timing chain or belt, and that, in turn, spins this VVTi sprocket which controls the camshaft. It lets the engine adjust its breathing, so to speak, to deliver power efficiently at different speeds and loads. It’s all about getting the right amount of air and fuel mixture into each cylinder for optimal performance. If this sprocket goes bad, you’ll notice it. You’ll probably get a check engine light, and the engine won’t run smoothly. It could feel sluggish, lose power, or even run rough. A failing VVTi sprocket can throw off the whole engine timing and if left unattended, can lead to bigger problems like engine damage. It acts like a shield, protecting the engine from running inefficiently or incorrectly. If you’re seeing signs of trouble, it’s best to address it sooner rather than later. We carry a good selection of these, and you can also find them easily enough at places like Fixparts Online if you prefer to shop around.
