Solenoids

Solenoids perform critical switching and actuation tasks across nearly every vehicle system. An electromagnetic coil pulls a plunger to move linkages, open valves, or complete high-current circuits—controlling everything from starter engagement to transmission line pressure.

This collection includes common replacement solenoids for engine management, emissions, transmission, and starting systems. Common types you’ll find:

  • Starter solenoids – bridge battery current to the starter motor when the ignition is turned
  • VVT solenoids – meter oil flow to cam phasers for variable valve timing
  • Transmission shift solenoids – direct ATF to clutch packs for gear changes
  • Idle air control solenoids – regulate airflow around a closed throttle plate

When replacing a solenoid, always match the connector style, mounting flange, and resistance specification. Contaminated fluid or burned coil windings are common failure points—flushing the associated fluid circuit and inspecting wiring can help prevent a repeat failure.
