BLPextrm Variable Valve Timing Solenoid for Ford V6 2011–2020 — 4-Piece Kit, 2-Pin Plug

BLPextrm Variable Valve Timing (VVT) Solenoid is a direct-replacement 12V solenoid designed to restore proper camshaft oil control on compatible Ford and Lincoln 3.3L/3.5L/3.7L V6 engines.

This four-piece set includes plug-and-play VVT solenoids engineered to match the original fit for many Ford F-150, Mustang, Edge, Explorer, Expedition and select Lincoln models from the 2011–2020 model years. Each valve uses a 2-pin electrical connector, aluminum-plastic housing and a solenoid coil driver to regulate oil flow to the cam phasers. If your engine control unit detects camshaft timing issues or you have a failed OEM part number listed below, these replacements are built to be a quick install without modifications.

Which vehicles and engines are supported by this VVT solenoid?

The BLPextrm VVT solenoid is specified for multiple Ford and Lincoln models equipped with 3.3L, 3.5L or 3.7L V6 engines across a range of years. It covers pickups, SUVs, sedans and performance models where the OEM part numbers match.

• Ford F-150 (2011–2020), Mustang (2011–2017), Edge (2011–2018), Explorer (2011–2019)
• Ford Flex (2012–2019), Lobo (2015–2016), Expedition (2015–2017), Police Interceptor Sedan (2013–2019)
• Lincoln MKS (2013–2017), MKX/MKT (2011–2018), Navigator (2015–2017)
• Compatible OEM references: 917-197, 917-198, AT4Z-6M280-A/B, L53008, L53009, TS1002, TS1003

How does this solenoid work and what does it control?

VVT solenoids control the hydraulic oil flow that adjusts camshaft phasing; by shifting the cam timing, the engine can optimize valve events for different speeds and loads. These replacement solenoids operate via a solenoid coil to open and close passages, allowing the ECU to advance or retard camshaft position as needed.

• Solenoid coil-driven magnetic valve activation for responsive oil control
• 2-pin electrical plug for direct ECU communication
• Aluminum alloy and durable plastic housing to resist engine-bay conditions

What are the specifications and what should I check before buying?

Install is intended as direct replacement: same voltage, connector type and mounting style as the original component. Before purchasing, always compare the part numbers and confirm the engine displacement and model year to ensure fitment.

• Voltage: 12V, 2-pin connector, solenoid coil drive
• Housing: aluminum alloy with plastic components; installation type: direct replacement
• Sold as a 4-piece kit to replace multiple cylinders or for convenience when changing several valves

How simple is installation and what does the kit include?

These BLPextrm units are manufactured for plug-and-play installation—no wiring changes or extra adapters required if your vehicle uses the listed OEM references. Typical installation requires basic hand tools and access to the valve cover area; torque and replacement sequence should follow factory guidance.

• Package contents: 4 × variable valve timing solenoid valves
• Plug-and-play 2-pin connectors; direct bolt-in design
• Recommended: inspect wiring harness and O-ring seals, replace fasteners to factory torque

Who is this for: The BLPextrm VVT solenoid 4-pack is intended for DIY mechanics, service shops and fleet owners who maintain Ford or Lincoln vehicles equipped with 3.3L/3.5L/3.7L V6 engines and need cost-effective, direct-fit replacements. It's useful when diagnosing camshaft timing codes, noisy or sticking valves, or when performing scheduled maintenance that calls for fresh solenoids.
