It is supplied new by HY-SPEED, carries multiple OE cross-reference numbers, and is intended to replace the solenoid installed in the cylinder head that controls oil flow to the variable cam phaser. The part ships as a single solenoid and comes with a 12-month warranty and a returns policy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich vehicles and engines does this HY-SPEED solenoid fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis solenoid matches a variety of Chevrolet, GMC, Isuzu, Oldsmobile and Saab platforms from roughly 2002–2012.
