Hey got a 2018 cruze 1.4 auto. I was not driving the car for like a month, it was at a body shop. I got the car back and it started misfiring, i took the plugs out, coils, and the whole fuel rail out. changed the plugs and coil packs, i noticed that the hole for the injectors had a bunch of debriee and oil in them. i cleaned the injectors just with some carb cleaner but only from the outside i didn't have an injector tester to clean the inside of them. and its still misfiring. btw the plugs were dry no oil on them. If you could get back to me that would be awesome because so far i have the last option left and its injector replacement but 500$ is kind off tight for me right now. Thank you! Love your content hi from Canada.
Hi dirty injectors like that is normal because of how dirty the intake system is. www.supercruzes.com has an oil separator catch can system that changes the PCV routing. The reason those injectors get so dirty and the plugs is from the oil and moisture getting into the intake system
@@mohammadkarimi4105 go to www.supercruzes.com you should check out the system that’s listed on the site because it’s not just adding the can it’s also rerouting the PCV.
Nice video sir, packed with some really good information. Well you opened up a few options for me as a gen 1 owner just by talking about the charge pipe from intercooler to throttle body. By saying it can make a cooler charge temp. At boost & less restrictions. I have been waiting for a forge Reciulation valve from BNR before I move farther on with more parts. Also I got a belly pan for the car to see if that helps with mpgs. as well as my 12 never had one but 35.6 pre Gallon isn't bad. Also with direct injection unfortunately you carbon build up on valves and intake runners due the no fuel dilution before the valves. I imagine a good oil can help with keeping this down but if it gets carried away periodically these areas have to be cleaned as I have seen in other channels on the tube. Have safe day with the family.
Hey how are you. Thank you for watching. Once I finish my meth injection design for the Gen 1 and Gen 2 it will give us cooler intake temps and more POWA! What it will also do is clean the valves and combustion chamber of carbon build up. That in it self is exciting! The belly pan from an eco model is a good idea. Also the eco model has some aero modifications over the normal version CRUZE you should look into for MPG
@@davesworld2132 thanks i have been doing ok even know we have some challenges at work but we have been doing cool things and fixing our equipment & we have made improvements & it show in our production. My 12 6 sped cruze has been doing well over all. I have to change my plug gap as mine are set at 0.032 and I get blow out on deceleration. I think I got a weak tank of fuel this week power seems down so I'll go to a different station next week. I'm at 11 psi now and found the check valve at my Turbo on the pcv pipe was clogged and cleaned it up no difference from this clean up. So yeah thank you again and you can reply latter to this question. Will your largest intercooler work on my gen 1 engine & if so does it need a tune ? I do know that pipes are different from gen 1 vs gen 2. Know the eco rims are light weight but 175$ a rim would be 1 rim a week lol. Thank you again sir.
And with a p1101 definitely look at throttle body and make sure it is clean. I have seen a bunch of 1.5 vehicles with that code set for throttle body air flow compensation
Wished I would've seen this video like a month ago. I was having low boost code and started to chase the problem. 2017 LT auto, installed the chevy cold air but no tune yet, before the code. Replaced inlet outlet tubes of the intercooler, and replaced the turbocharger with stock one. My cruze has 110k+ as I commute a total of 120 miles every work day. Thanks Dave for your knowledge of the common problems again I became aware of these issues on my own and with research.
Dave, ok here i go. I am a parts supervisor for a large fleet operator, with a direct connection to ordering from GM over the years I order repair parts for gm. Now the cruze is no longer in production, our company has done warranty work. So I have so called obsolete gm parts which I take, since our agreement with GM I cannot return. Outside of a new engine or the transmission I don't have in stock. So that's my story. I do plan on getting your intercooler pipes and maybe the intercooler,.
A common problem on Ford Panther platforms is when people change from the OEM airbox to a cone filter, they put way too much oil on the filter. Since the MAF sensor is only 3 inches downstream from the filter, it gets gummed up with oil from the cone filter. The car runs like crap and throws a OBDII code. I can easily see this happening in this application as well.
Yea I've seen that before. I have a 4.6 Saleen engine in my garage and I've been tinkering with that intake system and can def see that happening to that style maf.
I haven't been on the forums for a while but I remember them recommending the dry injen filter instead of the oiled k&n filter probably for that reason
I think one problem I ran into with my build was the shifter. I don’t remember if your short throw shifter video pointed it out but for an amateur I messed up the shift linkage position for the reverse lockout so I wouldn’t catch gears properly. First, second, and reverse were misaligned and I had to go back in and adjust off of first or reverse.
Yes I had that problem as well. I also ran into a situation where the shifter was fine and then later on when winter came and it got very cold out I couldn’t get into reverse again. Then I had to readjust.
i got 2014 lt rs and i got a after market coil pack because the original one was looking a little rough with the springs and i got new spark plugs and the new was really loud “tuck tuck tuck” noise.. everytime i pressed on the gas but after i out the original one in it works perfectly. i’m guessing it was the spark plugs but i did buy that stuff because i buy the aluminum valve cover gasket and that’s been working perfectly ever since. if anybody sees this i’d recommend doing that 😂❤
Yea torque wrench on the spark plugs and they are known to get loose overtime, I changed my plugs at 90k and at 101k I had a weird noise on startup so I started googling and came to find out two of my plugs were slightly looser than the torque spec, still tight but not at tight as the others and it's been a week and I have not heard the noise again
Yea the manual unfortunately is wrong about a lot. I would do them every 25,000 miles on any turbo car especially since the 1.4 is known for running dirty air due to oil intrusion.
@davesworld2132 Good to know, thanks. I'll do that. I just had them done by somebody else and mechanics, in spite of my requests, are loathe to give me the old parts so I can examine them and learn. I bought the car used and I'm just trying to learn all of the common problems and issues with these to try not to lose my shirt maintaining it. I like the car. Here in the mountains of Utah, it performs well for its small displacement.
A lot of times the manual is a general guide line. But it does not take into account location, seasons, driving style, and age of the driver. Most of the time the maintenance recommendations are very off because of this. It's good to learn because the more you know the better you can treat the car. Always keep in touch if you ever need some help. @@BenKlassen1
4:23 I had a car with this engine in the shop with the code for an underboost condition, and the problem wasn't a crack, but the play you're talking about where the actuator shaft passes through the turbine housing. It had become so loose that when the wastegate flap was supposed to be sealed flat around the hole, it was actually cocked at an angle and had an obvious gap around 2/3 of the sealing surface. This obviously allowed exhaust to leak around the turbine even when it was supposed to getting maximum flow. I had to pull the downpipe off and use an inspection mirror and pocket flashlight to see it. The amazing thing was that NAPA stocked a Dorman aftermarket turbo kit with all the gaskets and trimmings for about $800 that fixed it.
Hey what’s up! I have a subscriber with that exact same problem. After going back-and-forth with him we realized that buying an aftermarket bigger turbo was only a few bucks more. So he went that route instead of an oem type. But same fix. What your describing is exactly why I put that little social media clip in. How how much better did it run after you made the repair?
@@davesworld2132 It was only a marginal difference, although I was not really evaluating it's performance. All anybody cared about in that case was fixing the check engine light.
@@Fopeano lol “regular folk” take check engine lights way too serious lol i’ve been playing around with spark plug gap’s this weekend it’s amazing how changing a gap ever so slightly increases or decreases performance substantially.
@Yeah Right yup, the first search result is the same Dorman kit for $504.99. I guess that's the cost of getting it in 15 minutes and fixing the car on the spot, which is the best way for any shop to efficiently do business. I'll bring this up to my front end people today just to let them know.
New top of the line plugs, had mechanic monitor computer while running said it was getting too much air then not enough air when driving, cleaned mass air flow sensor properly, replaced air pressure/temp sensor, replaced gas pedal, ran sea foam through throttle body while holding at 2k rpm until can was gone and drove with spirited acceleration after as can says to do, replaced throttle body. No codes, stutters at low rpm when I try to get up on it. Seems to only happen when there is high torque demand at low rpm. If I downshift and get up on it everything is fine. Seems like it's running rich when I drive between 2-3k too much. Also ran compression test and was good.(2018 1.4 LT Cruze)
The Volvo OEM intercooler has a small weep hole that allows to drain any moisture collected inside. VW products do not have this feature and they collect so much water that it fails to start. Volvo also reverse the piping to prevent this problem on colder weather locations.
@@davesworld2132 The weep hole drains the moisture before it enters the engine, catch can collects the inside moisture. They booth work, just a little different!
14 Cruze LTZ RS auto, runs smooth no codes, 32mpg or less going 70mph. Same mpg going 65. 35mpg 50mpg. I’ve lost boost a couple times. Never an engine light. Does have oil leak. I noticed I haven’t heard the shutters close. But that shouldn’t take away several mpg. So I’m thinking something turbo and piping related I’m not sure. So many things
If you could email me through my website we can diagnose the car a little bit better than on RUclips. I think I know what may be wrong but I need pictures of your engine bay
I feel like i need all these upgrades. I just bought a used 2014 cruze LT 1.4 and unfortunately i noticed after buying that it pulls or bumps on acceleration around 40kmph and sometimes 60kms but runs smooth after that. Im also not comfortable with sll the plastic i hear deteriorates because it runs hot snd would change to aluminum or metal after market replacements
Could you please list all of the problems that you know of that would cause a 2013 Cruze LT turbo I4 to overheat. I have changed the water valve, water pump, thermostat, temperature sensor at radiator and recovery tank. I’m trying to fix the car myself. It has around 98,000 miles on it. Thanks
I have a 2019, was throwing p1101 codes, me and my buddy took a part the throttle body, cleaned that, cleaned the mas, replaced the engine air filter, cabin air filter, hopefully no more idiot lights.
@@davesworld2132 I have two friends that are mechanics. But thank you, this tool at Firestone out here was far from helpful, I actually called their corporate office because he was such a asshole.
@@davesworld2132 their loss. I'll never spend another dollar with them, I just asked if they could tell me what voltage range my mas was reading at, after spending over 400 dollars on shit with them a few months ago, and they pretty much told me to either leave it for two days or pound sand. So fuck em.
I keep throwing a rod knock code. I've replaced the sensor twice. And replaced the pigtail once. I can't hear a knock. All I've done to mine is a cold air intake.
I have a gen 1, and already checked for air leaks , exhaust, etc, and I have non, was thinking it can be my wastegate that is worn out, everytime I accelerate I have so much lag or if I’m cruising around 45mph or so and I let go of the gas, I lose power and have to floor it just to upshift and get me power to accelerate, as well as going uphill, what do you think it can be? Don’t have a check engine on btw, Thanks.
Could be that also check your spark plugs and fuel pressure. Don't just assume its a part with out doing some basic checks first. Also check your air filter.
Would you say that 2018 is the most reliable year for Cruze? I've been researching this extensively it it says everywhere that the 2018 year model was above average reliability, and actually competed with other compact cars fairly well. 2017 seems to be pretty decent too. 2016 has a bad rating. I'm looking to purchase a Cruze in the 60k to 70k mile range
18 because they changed the engine it also in 19 they changed the nose to a different style and some of the electronics. I would go 18 if you can. 17 has known engine issues.
@@davesworld2132 Thanks that was my choice based on my research. And I have found tricks to disable the auto stop start. consumer reports they rank 2018 4th out of 10 best compact cars for reliability
@@davesworld2132 Would you say the average lifespan of the 2018 cruze is upwards of 150,000 to 200,000 miles? I live in Canada and km here so that would be idk roughly 300,000 km or something like that
I have a 2017 chevy cruze LS, about a month ago it had a service stabilitrack, and a cylinder 1 misfire code, black smoke was coming out the exhaust, shaking real bad, and losing power, got it home and parked it. A few hours later when i went out to start it, a crank over the key and it sounds like its trying to start but the engine doesnt crank over and run, it just tries and tries, but nothing happens, just replaced all spark plugs, the car is stock, always kept up with maintenance, please help
You need a PCV reroute and upgraded intercooler pipes. You will start having boost issues. Check out www.supercruzes.com I have a few things that will fix those issues.
Hello there. I am driving a Chevy cruze LT 1.4 turbo, 2014 . When I over pass 50km/hr a second sound apart of the engine started sounding. Sounds like roughly. What can it be?
Ok so my daughter has a 2018 Chevy cruse she went to get her oil changed was driving homè few hours later whole car was vibrating took it back to where she got oil changed they told her the motor mount probably broke, which was not the case replaced all four coil packs, still didnt fix so we figured out needed to replace injector which we did and it seemed to dix the problem but it continues to leak gas, so we bought an o ring kit put all new ones on still leaking!!!! Any ideas or way to fix
Where is chevy cruze 2019 baro sensor at? I have search picture/vids of locations and can't find it, not even the map sensor. I'm starting to think it dosent have either, yet the engine light shows code for p2227 p2229(baro sensor)
Hi again, Thanks for sharing all this information. Well once again I have a question with my car. I have a 2016 malibu 1.5 turbocharger. I've been having issues with the car idling and not having or hardly boost. It feels as if the car lost its power running only on engine power and no turbo. Please help me. I cant seem to figure it out. Not mechanically inclined. I can follow directions and learn as I go. Please help.
Hello it’s your wastegate. That used to be non serviceable but I actually have upgraded custom ones. These will fix that problem and increase your boost. Here is a link. supercruzesstore.com/products/malibu-1-5-and-2-0-upgraded-wastegates
I don't have any codes, but my 17' Cruze accelerates pretty slow. It has 53k miles, only thing I have done to it is AEM cold air intake. Could there still be a crack like you mentioned?
Hey I have a question where's the weather temperature sensor located on a Chevy Cruze 2011 it was working fine and I had to change the antifreeze radiator !now it doesn't show me what the temperature outside is
I think I may have a cracked piston in my 2017 cruze. I'm trying to perform a compression test, but there aren't any fuel pump fuses/relay to pull to do so. Do you know how I can disable the fuel system to do a compression test?
@@davesworld2132 Thank you! Maybe you can provide a little insight. I have a P0301 code and a stability/ traction control message on the dash. On the highway when driving around 60 mph if I attempt to accelerate the car starts shaking violently, like it is not getting enough fuel, kind of similar to a clutch pedal, not being pressed in when coming to a stop I've read article, suggesting that this might indicate a cracked piston around the ring lands. Have you encountered this before?
@@kcard707 When is the last time you had a tuneup? And when is the last time you ever changed a coil? Also just an FYI it is very common to have injector problems on these engines
@@davesworld2132 the air filter,plugs, and mass airflow sensor (had a p1101 that is gone now)were all changed in an effort to try to fix this issue less thank 1k miles ago. The car has 69k on the engine and it's all bone stock. It'll drive fine when cold, but once it's at operating temp the issue becomes evident. I even tried gaping plugs between .025,028, and 030 and the issue is still there. Compression came out to 140-150 but what worries me that once the car is at operating temp you can see blow by come out the dipstick tube. How would I go about getting the injectors cleaned?
The code that keeps coming up for me is P0299. Usually happens when I accelerate and once the code comes up the car drives extremely sluggish and doesn’t want to move at all.
To add this code goes away and comes back. Some days the car drives great and other days it drives sluggish and that’s usually when the check engine light comes back on and gives me the code p0299.
@@tylerwhite7367 It could be a few different things. It could be a dirty mass airflow sensor. It could be an intake leak. It could also be an exhaust leak. Is the car running like crap?

@@davesworld2132 the whole time I owned the car since last year only the P0229 only but the transmission started to miss 5th gear randomly, and jerks shifting the 3rd all the time. It was back in January when it gets severe even 6th gear wobble/shakes (when the car is underload going up a slope or with passengers) the car along with 5th gear so technically I can only drive down the side streets as the 4th gear only goes 50mph @60mph it just screams and in need to shift to the next but like I said shifting to 5th gear will make the car shake violently. Then one night on my way home I really wanted the transmission code to show up so I kinda push the 5th gear till the car went limp mode (It only show on the Dash "L" and not the usual "L1,L2, etc) and there it was, P0796 and P0700, one is for Pressure Solenoid failure and Failure or open circuit in TCM for the second one.

Yea torque wrench on the spark plugs and they are known to get loose overtime, I changed my plugs at 90k and at 101k I had a weird noise on startup so I started googling and came to find out two of my plugs were slightly looser than the torque spec, still tight but not at tight as the others and it's been a week and I have not heard the noise again
Cruze owner's manual says to change the spark plugs every 60k miles, BTW. Thanks for the video!
Yea the manual unfortunately is wrong about a lot. I would do them every 25,000 miles on any turbo car especially since the 1.4 is known for running dirty air due to oil intrusion.
@davesworld2132 Good to know, thanks. I'll do that. I just had them done by somebody else and mechanics, in spite of my requests, are loathe to give me the old parts so I can examine them and learn.
I bought the car used and I'm just trying to learn all of the common problems and issues with these to try not to lose my shirt maintaining it. I like the car. Here in the mountains of Utah, it performs well for its small displacement.
A lot of times the manual is a general guide line. But it does not take into account location, seasons, driving style, and age of the driver. Most of the time the maintenance recommendations are very off because of this. It's good to learn because the more you know the better you can treat the car. Always keep in touch if you ever need some help. @@BenKlassen1
4:23 I had a car with this engine in the shop with the code for an underboost condition, and the problem wasn't a crack, but the play you're talking about where the actuator shaft passes through the turbine housing. It had become so loose that when the wastegate flap was supposed to be sealed flat around the hole, it was actually cocked at an angle and had an obvious gap around 2/3 of the sealing surface. This obviously allowed exhaust to leak around the turbine even when it was supposed to getting maximum flow. I had to pull the downpipe off and use an inspection mirror and pocket flashlight to see it. The amazing thing was that NAPA stocked a Dorman aftermarket turbo kit with all the gaskets and trimmings for about $800 that fixed it.
Hey what’s up! I have a subscriber with that exact same problem. After going back-and-forth with him we realized that buying an aftermarket bigger turbo was only a few bucks more. So he went that route instead of an oem type. But same fix. What your describing is exactly why I put that little social media clip in. How how much better did it run after you made the repair?
@@davesworld2132 It was only a marginal difference, although I was not really evaluating it's performance. All anybody cared about in that case was fixing the check engine light.
@@Fopeano lol “regular folk” take check engine lights way too serious lol i’ve been playing around with spark plug gap’s this weekend it’s amazing how changing a gap ever so slightly increases or decreases performance substantially.
@Yeah Right yup, the first search result is the same Dorman kit for $504.99. I guess that's the cost of getting it in 15 minutes and fixing the car on the spot, which is the best way for any shop to efficiently do business. I'll bring this up to my front end people today just to let them know.
New top of the line plugs, had mechanic monitor computer while running said it was getting too much air then not enough air when driving, cleaned mass air flow sensor properly, replaced air pressure/temp sensor, replaced gas pedal, ran sea foam through throttle body while holding at 2k rpm until can was gone and drove with spirited acceleration after as can says to do, replaced throttle body. No codes, stutters at low rpm when I try to get up on it. Seems to only happen when there is high torque demand at low rpm. If I downshift and get up on it everything is fine. Seems like it's running rich when I drive between 2-3k too much. Also ran compression test and was good.(2018 1.4 LT Cruze)

The Volvo OEM intercooler has a small weep hole that allows to drain any moisture collected inside. VW products do not have this feature and they collect so much water that it fails to start.

Would you say that 2018 is the most reliable year for Cruze? I've been researching this extensively it it says everywhere that the 2018 year model was above average reliability, and actually competed with other compact cars fairly well. 2017 seems to be pretty decent too. 2016 has a bad rating.

The code that keeps coming up for me is P0299. Usually happens when I accelerate and once the code comes up the car drives extremely sluggish and doesn’t want to move at all.
To add this code goes away and comes back. Some days the car drives great and other days it drives sluggish and that’s usually when the check engine light comes back on and gives me the code p0299.
