How does this VVT solenoid affect engine performance?

The VVT solenoid regulates oil flow to the cam phaser so the engine can adjust valve timing for improved efficiency and throttle response. A functioning solenoid helps maintain smooth idle, consistent acceleration, and optimal combustion timing under varying loads.

• Controls oil pressure to the variable valve timing system
• Enables precise camshaft angle adjustments for better efficiency
• Helps prevent rough idle and hesitation caused by stuck or leaking solenoids
• Restores factory-like timing control when replacing a failed unit

What makes the Dorman 916-922 a reliable replacement?

Dorman designed this solenoid to replicate the original equipment’s fit and function while using quality materials to resist wear. The part undergoes vehicle testing to confirm proper operation on the listed Nissan models, reducing the guesswork often associated with aftermarket parts.

• Engineered to match OEM mounting points and electrical connections
• Durable construction for extended service life
• On-vehicle testing to validate fit and function
• Backed by Dorman’s century-plus experience in replacement parts

How do I verify this solenoid fits my vehicle?

Use the seller’s garage tool to enter your vehicle trim and check the Confirmed Fit bar at the top of the product page. If you see an information icon (a blue “i”), hover over it to read any fitment notes or additional verification steps before purchase.

• Input year, make, model, and trim into the garage tool
• Confirm the green Confirmed Fit indicator or check notes under the blue “i”
• Compare connectors and mounting style if unsure
• Contact support with VIN details for final confirmation

What should I expect during installation and maintenance?

Installation typically requires basic hand tools and access to the VVT solenoid location on the engine; replacing a failed solenoid is a common repair that can often be completed without specialized equipment. After installation, monitor for restored idle quality and engine responsiveness, and check for any diagnostic codes that may need clearing.

• Requires standard sockets and possibly small extensions
• Inspect wiring harness and connectors for corrosion before fitting
• Clear related engine codes after replacement and test drive
• Use recommended engine oil and intervals to help prolong VVT life

Who is this for: The Dorman 916-922 VVT solenoid is intended for owners and technicians servicing compatible Nissan Altima, Rogue, and X-Trail models from the listed years who need a dependable, direct-fit replacement for a worn or failing variable valve timing solenoid. It suits DIY mechanics comfortable with routine engine repairs and professional shops looking for a tested aftermarket option that mirrors OEM fitment and function.
