My wife and I are picking up a used 2014 2500 5.7l Tradesman Crew Cab 4x4 with 18,030 miles on it. This truck has VVT so this is going to be important to know! Thank you for posting this video.
I have a 2010 Camaro 3.6l engine and my aculator solenoid bank 1 and 2 are leaking oil bad. My question is can I just pull them off or is there a specific way I need to removed them? Is it possible to mess up the timing chain in any way?
Very informative,thankyou! What I am really looking for is the same info for a 3.0l engine,seems like everybody is working on 2.4 ecotechs! Doesn"t anybody replace vvt control solenoids on 3.0l equinox"s
Ok, so my question is, i cant get the clip off the VVT solenoid. what do i do to remove it? I got the clip pieces to pop up at the top of the of plastic that locks it down but where do i squeeze on the plastic that attaches the wires to the solenoid to get it to release so i can then remove the solenoid and replace it?
2 questions. What if debris gets into the solenoid whole? How do I clean it out. Plus how do I replace the wiring harness? One of the tabs is broken might not connect properly.
I did this with my 2013 Buick regal and now oil is coming from under the solenoids. This wasn't happening before and I'm still getting a code coming up for this same thing.
$15 if you buy cheap knock-offs. You should always buy OEM for sensors, though. The voltage tolerances are so tight in modern cars that often the cheaply made aftermarket sensors fail quickly and you're doing the work all over again. These GM OEM sensors are only about $35 each.
@@morebeer7673 the cheap parts from Rock Auto made the HHR feel like it was turbocharged, the old ones were so bad. The only thing is, don't use their bolts to install....made of tin or something that breaks before it tightens. Backwards drills backed it right out of the valvecover so there was nothing seizing it....
My connecters to the vvt are not coming off. I have been fighting them for 3 hours. Makes no damn sense. Unbelievable It's a 2011 EQ 47,574 miles. I have never run into a lane issue like this Oh wait...it's my personal car...yep. my own cars are the hardest always to work on. Customers vehicles, cake... but mine... I have sliced my fingertips, trying to pull the connecters off the solenoid.
Then you wouldn't have codes that direct you precisely to the malfunction or sometimes not even know there is a malfunction to address. Embrace technology 😉

My left ear enjoyed this video
These guys look like they will charge you and arm and a leg
LMAO 😂
It’s the clean matching uniforms and job titles that gives it away.

Well done! Really like your channel.
How many ohmics is it supposed to be, did you guys make this up?
Does RockAuto have good parts? For this type of job or auto zone and the rest is the best way out 👍🏻
It was very helpful!! Thank you
A 1992 Honda Prelude Si had VTEC.
This be making me want to put big cams on my Chevy Malibu

Unfortunately I'd take off the valve cover, best way to clean it, then change the oil.
Would have been nice if you'd have said the torque for that 10 mm bolt.
bout 'meh' tight. know what I mean?
It's NOT a 10mm bolt!! More like 6mm
10mm bolt head/socket to remove
What would the symptoms be of a bad VVT
Poor engine performance, check engine light, rough idle.
a lot of talking here and never to the point...would not take my car to these guys

Replace seals
The parts are 15 bucks each....the diagnostic tool and mechanic's time cost you your house payment for the month.....

I have an 07 Kia Optima
Does any one know where the Vvt exhaust solenoid would be

info. on 2008 ford taraus 3,5
Way to make it seem unrealistically easy. Sitting in my garage with both solenoids stuck in there
Wiggle them with pliers you should be ok, mine were the same in a 2012 malibu.

Who ever put all of this electronic shit on cars ought to have their ASS Whipped !!!! Thanks for the video .

I agree , but to be on the safe side , I still own my '52 , on THAT one , I do All of the work myself , I'm too old to learn the new tech stuff ....
Me pollo no sabe nads
Can't do it without an expensive scan tool? WHY the f do you even do these shows then?
