CONSTRUCTION
This camshaft timing oil control valve controls the spool valve using duty cycle control from the ECM. This allows hydraulic pressure to be applied to the VVT-i controller advanced or retarded side. When the engine is stopped, the camshaft timing oil control valve assembly is in the most retarded position.
