The valve timing control system isutilized toincrease engineperformance. Intakevalveopening and
closing timeiscontrolled, accordingtothe engine operating conditions, bythe ECM.
Engine coolant temperature signals,enginespeed,amount ofintake air,throttle position, vehiclespeed
and gear position areused todetermine intakevalvetiming.
The intake camshaft pulleyposition isregulated byoil pressure, whichiscontrolled bythe valve timing
control solenoid valve.
