Are GM vvt solenoid actuators for 2.4l ecotec interchangeable?
I know intake has gray connector on top and exhaust has black but mechanically are they the same? Can they be interchanged? Are the different part numbers just for color of connector on top?

Hi there,
The GM variable valve timing solenoid actuators for the 2.4L Ecotec engine are mechanically identical in terms of their internal operation. However, they are not interchangeable due to the difference in their electrical connectors, as well as their calibration or programming in the engine control module (ECM). Always ensure that the intake solenoid is used in the intake position and the exhaust solenoid is used in the exhaust position to ensure proper engine operation (intake is gray connector and exhaust is black connector). I hope this helps.
