Where does the oil pressure go on a VVT solenoid?

But despite the different naming conventions, all VVT solenoids do the same thing: apply oil pressure to activate the mechanism that adjusts valve timing. In most cases, that mechanism is an actuator (also known as a phaser) at the end of the camshaft (though some vehicles, such as Hondas with VTEC, may have a different design).

When does the VVT solenoid work best?

The VVT solenoid works best when the engine oil is clean, free of debris, or has lost some of its lubricity or viscosity. When the engine oil becomes clogged with debris, dirt or other foreign particles, it tends to clog up the passageway from the solenoid to the VVT chain and gear.
