VCT System
5.4L Variable Cam Timing Solenoid Electrical Connector
Conventional camshafts are permanently synchronized with the engine crankshaft to operate the intake and
exhaust valves at a specific point in each combustion cycle. Variable Cam Timing (VCT), however, allows the
valves to operate at variable points in the combustion cycle.
The VCT system on the 5.4L provides several important benefits:
Eliminates the need for an EGR system.
Improved low speed performance (torque) and high-speed operation (horsepower).
Enhanced idle quality.
Lower exhaust emissions.
