ENA VVT Solenoid for Honda Accord & Element 2.4L (Set of 1) — Direct-Fit Camshaft Actuator, 12-Month Warranty

ENA Engine Variable Valve Timing (VVT) Solenoid 917-277 is a direct-fit camshaft position actuator replacement for Honda Accord and Element 2.4L (L4) model years 2003–2011, sold as a single unit with a 12-month warranty.

Modern engines rely on precise valve timing to balance power, fuel economy and emissions. This ENA VVT control valve (also referenced as 917-277, 917277, 15830RAAA01) restores the variable valve timing control by regulating oil flow to the cam phaser. Designed to match the original equipment form and function, the solenoid uses a durable plastic housing, two-blade terminals and a 12V electrical connector to plug into the factory harness with minimal fuss.

Will this ENA VVT solenoid fit my Honda Accord or Element?

This solenoid is made for Honda Accord and Honda Element models equipped with the 2.4L L4 engine from 2003 through 2011. Compatibility is tied to the camshaft actuator style used on those model years, so part numbers and harness shape must match. Always verify fit using your vehicle VIN or the seller’s compatibility tool before ordering.

• Fits: Honda Accord 2003–2007 (L4 2.4L) and Accord 2008–2011 where applicable
• Fits: Honda Element 2003–2011 (L4 2.4L)
• Reference numbers: 917-277, 917277, 15830RAAA01
• Sold as: Set of 1 VVT control solenoid

How does this solenoid restore engine performance?

The VVT solenoid controls oil flow to the camshaft phaser, which advances or retards valve timing based on engine conditions. When the solenoid operates correctly, the engine maintains appropriate timing across idle, cruise and full-throttle situations, improving throttle response and drivability. Replacing a worn or leaking solenoid helps remove hesitation and rough idle symptoms tied to timing control.

• Regulates oil pressure to the cam phaser for accurate timing
• Coated housing and reinforced internals reduce leakage and failure
• Restores proper valve timing behavior and engine responsiveness
• 12V electrical design for direct plug-in to factory connector

What are the construction and electrical specs I should know?

The ENA unit is built with a plastic outer housing and two blade terminals in a male connector format for a factory-style wiring connection. Engineering focuses on sealing and internal durability to prolong service life in oil-exposed engine locations. The solenoid operates on standard 12-volt automotive systems and is intended to match OEM electrical and mechanical interfaces.

• Connector gender: Male; terminal type: blade, quantity: 2
• Housing: high-resistance coated plastic to minimize leaks
• Operating voltage: 12V (automotive standard)
• Designed for OEM-style fit, function, and mounting

How easy is installation and what’s included?

Installation is typically straightforward for anyone comfortable accessing the camshaft area and unplugging the factory harness. The ENA solenoid arrives as a single replacement unit; check for oil residue and clean the mounting area before fitting to ensure a reliable seal. ENA backs the part with a 12-month warranty, but you should confirm vehicle compatibility prior to installation.

• Package: one VVT control solenoid plus warranty documentation
• Recommended: clean mating surfaces and inspect O-ring before install
• Tools commonly required: basic hand tools and moderate engine access
• Support: use vehicle VIN or compatibility checker for correct selection

Who is this for: This ENA VVT solenoid is intended for DIY owners, independent mechanics and fleet technicians who need a reliable, cost-effective replacement for a failing camshaft position actuator in Honda Accord and Element 2.4L applications. Choose this part if you require a direct-fit 12V solenoid with OEM-style terminals and a one-year warranty to restore proper variable valve timing control.
