This little valve controls the flow of oil to the camshaft timing actuator. Basically, it's an on – off switch for the oil that adjusts when the engine’s valves open and close. It doesn't make the timing change, it just allows the engine’s computer to control that timing. It's a pretty simple piece, mechanically, but plays a big role. Your engine’s computer uses this valve to fine – tune the valve timing, and that impacts how the engine performs at different speeds. At lower RPMs, it might adjust timing for better idle and low – end torque. When you're getting on it, or at higher speeds, it’ll change again for more horsepower and better fuel economy. It’s all about optimizing performance for what you’re doing. If this valve fails, you’ll likely notice if it’s completely stopped working – the engine might run rough, lose power, and the check engine light will almost certainly come on. Sometimes it’ll fail gradually, causing a noticeable drop in gas mileage or making the engine feel sluggish. It's a relatively inexpensive part to replace compared to the damage that could happen if you keep driving with a bad one. Things like worn camshafts or even engine damage can occur if the valve isn’t regulating the oil properly. We see a lot of these come through, and you can often find them pretty readily available – even places like Fixparts Online usually have them in stock. It's a common maintenance item, especially as vehicles get older. More than just a part: Variable Camshaft Timing Valve (MPN 427000510) includes a 12-month warranty!
