Is this same location for the 5.3
+Aaron Gordon We don't have a how-to video for your vehicle right now, but the basic steps in this video should be enough to do this task. It should be in the same general location
Thanks 1A Auto for your how to videos, I’ve referenced many times in the past!
I could use your insight, I have a 2012 Silverado 5.3L, today the engine light came on and the code was “P0011 Intake Camshaft Position System Performance”
The lady at the auto part store said the sensor needs replaced. Any way I can find out for sure before I take on a job like this?
I would hate to potentially battle a seized sensor like you guys did in my garage only to discover it was not the root problem. Any help would be awesome, thanks!
Ball Park cost to change it..?
FINALLY! A truthful video on what these "simple" projects usually turn into. I can't tell you how many times I've had a 15-20 job turn into an hour or more because of something like this! Thank you for showing all the steps you took to remove the stubborn sensor.
I admire your patience! I would've lost my mind!
Yea, probably would’ve been throwing tools at about 15 min or less.
The moral of the story is, never try to change your camshaft sensor.
Thanks for checking us out. 1aauto.com +TravisCrossMusic
1A Auto Parts you’re welcome; I love your videos and am so thankful for them.
or take it to 1A Auto
😁😄😃😀
Yeeeeeeep!!!
🤣😂🧅😭😭😭
I seriously thank you for showing everything you had to go through. It definitely morphed into every project of mine at times!
Once you get the sensor spinning, spray it with Berryman carburetor cleaner and continue to spin and wiggle the sensor the most you can. There is carbon built up on the sensor that the carburetor cleaner can dissolve allowing it to come out. Just fought one for about an hour or two and once I sprayed the carb cleaner on it, it popped out in about 3 minutes just like it was new.
Took out the 10mm retainer bolt, unplugged the cable, and it rotated very easily. Didn't seem to want to pull out even when gently prying. Decided to disconnect the lower plug to get my had in a little better and noticed a skinny blue wire coming from the wiring harness had abraded and broke away from the connecter. Repaired that and I'm good to go. Served as a god reminder to ALWAYS check and verify all sensor wiring is good BEFORE starting to replace (or even buying) the part. Great video, as usual!

What a nightmare. But thanks for showing us how you resolved the problem. Good technician.
I’m actually glad you guys showed the difficulty of this job and all the mess you had to go through. It makes me trust your videos all the more. BTW, I actually bought lower control arms from you guys a while back because of your video. Thanks!
+NorthernChev Thanks for watching and for your order! We'd love to hear about your experience. Here's a link to leave us a review on Google: goo.gl/i5JFNY
I appreciate the honest of this video. Though i am blessed to live in the south where roads never get salted and a 10 year old vehicle can still look new in the engine compartment/chassis
Glad to see, I am not the only one who runs into problems.
Gah dang!!!! Forget that mess! How in the hell did you stay so calm through out that?!?!? Everything in my shop would be broke! I would have just scrapped that whole truck!!!
Yeah, I think I'll let my dealer take care of this one. I only have half the tools to do this and it'll be the same price to collect them as it would be to let Chevy do it. Ugh. *lol* I wish I had a lift too.
😅😅😅
Amazing videos 1A Auto, keep it up. Have used several of your videos to fix multiple vehicles that i own with various problems. Thank you for all your time and efforts into these videos.
was thinking about doing this job.....Im so glad I watched this video first.....to the shop it goes
I'd hate to know what the shop does to fix these when you're not watching. I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't just pound it inside the cover and hope for the best.
I am going to be swapping out the Cam Shaft Sensor myself. This was a very helpful video to better prepare myself. Thanks!
+Gabriel Jude Thank you!
How did that work out of curiosity.
What type of truck do you have and how did it go? I have an 08 avalanche and I'm gonna need to do mine but I have no Idea if mine would be the same as this. I have a 5.3 L
Love the video show what a struggle it could be, it’s not like “here you take this off” (pops out sensor) and now place the new sensor and you’re done.
I swear this is how every single project of mine ends up.
I have all the tools for this job but dam made me rethink if I wanna do this
At 15:10 I think it would have been time to stop working and start drinking. Thank you for showing almost every possible way to improvise for a SHTF situation with mechanics. You Sir, have learned well and thanks for sharing with everyone that was not raised by a mechanic.
That camshaft kicked your butt man.....
Hopefully mine is not that challenging
I just watched your video was very good but I was wondering what was problem with motor and how does sensor work. Thanks
You had to work for that one. Glad you showed how it can go wrong and how to approach it
Thank you for the Video, I just did the swap on my 07 Silverado 1500. So, This way, pulling the sensor out is a pain. I started there but quickly decided to just pull water pump and damper then remove timing cover. Once timing cover was off i still had to use a soft rubber mallet to tap it out from the inside.. there was no way i was going to be able to pull this brittle sensor out the front, save yourself the headache, buy a few gallons of coolant, and go the route i went.. it was a chore but got it done in a few hrs. With my truck this requires pulling efans and radiator to be able to pull and reinstall damper. So far seems to have fixed my P0300 code.. good luck !
I just wanted to say, my mom was looking up videos when I was telling her what was going on with my car, and she was laughing so hard at how the part kept breaking and how difficult it seemed. She about lost her mind 😂 great video
I do watch a lot of your videos and they have helped me out a lot. This video is not a 2011 chevy 5.3, not where my sensor is and I have 3 clips I have to take off and not sure how to remove the one clip with a red square in the middle? Possibly the red part is the safety lock to just pull up on first?
I just replaced mine on a 2009 Silverado 4.3. Instead of using pry tools to get the sensor out I used a small cold chisel and tapped it in between the sensor base and the little mounting plate under it. Just tap the chisel around as much as I could wile also turning the sensor back and forth. Once the sensor came out enough that the cold chisel was too small I used a thicker chisel until the sensor was out further. I did try to pry it after that but the top of the sensor broke off. Thankfully there was enough sensor sticking out of the cover that I just squirted it with WD40 and used a pair of needle nose vise grips and pulled it out. Really glad I found this video cause the repair manual says to remove the water pump. I hate draining the cooling system cause it's usually a mess. Thanks A1auto.
Your appreciated for real, thanks for showing this.. why would I change it?
Can you reuse the old harmonic balancer or should you replace with a new one?
Love the fight....everyone skips them steps to look perfect and more like a pro at what they are doing. But these are the tips and tricks that get any type of handy work done
+marc manuella Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
This was actually better than the videos in which nothing goes wrong.
much more realistic
Do you have an opinion on how to get actuator out.took water pump off to get best access get that thing just won't come out. What am I missing
Anything that could go wrong did go wrong. Buy my man had a possible solution, even making hit own makeshift tools that failed again and again. In the end we all watched how this warrior showed us that the enemy can be defeated if you persist! 🤠😎
+Luigi Vampa Thank you! We love empowering our customers and showing how to perform DIY auto repairs with our high-quality auto parts. 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Did I just watch a tooth extraction 🤣
😂
@1AAuto
Brought my Chevy Avalanche to Goodyear to have this replaced. They replaced it and the truck still will not start. Does it need to be "dead on" in a certain position or and ECU relearn after replacement ?
Man I like your videos, always to the point. Not 20 minutes off talking.
+Mini Bike Express Thanks for the feedback, glad you are enjoying them!
After watching this video I decided to take it in
OMG 😮 and I need to changes mine because my Chevy the motor making noises and is hard to start it
You earned your money today what a job
+Tim Robbins Thanks for the feedback!
You stayed calmer than i did watching. I said a few cuss words for you
Have a p0315 code I changed the camshaft position sensor and tried relearning but code not going away. Would changing this help?
That looks like crankshaft sensor?
You can also use a torch lighter and heat the metal up around the sensor and it will soften the sensor up it'll come out smooth as butter
Stick a wrench under the screwdriver and hit the screwdriver towards the motor and it pops out easier
I just was going on my Silverado 2500HD 6.0 to replace my sensor. What ALL of the videos I watched do not show, is the LS with VVT. There is absolutely no way that you can do it without a pulley puller - and absolutely not in 45 minutes. On top, the pigtail wire with 5 pins has 3 screws to take out. One of this screws is behind the pulley - not reachable without a lot of work. I put everything back together and I bring it into a shop where a mechanic can break his fingers. I’m gladly pay $100 to replace it. That’s ridiculous that 95% of videos show how to replace the sensor on engines without VVT. I could do it on them in 30 minutes myself. 😢
Excellent video
Thank you very much
Good thing you recorded that so when you give the customer the bill and it has 2 days hourly labor they can see why!!!!
From the looks of that engine area, I'd just put that thing out of its misery. There's more oil out than in.
I just got done doing this and I was afraid that I was going to have to drill into it fortunately with a really long pry bar I was able to slowly get it out but I did break a piece of the plastic off in the beginning which is why I thought I was going to have to drill into it like this
I don't know what year that truck is but the 07 that I have the sensor is on the other side of the Bowser and you can get it right from the bottom without taking any of that off
I was going to try to replace mines after seeing this I'm good..... Great video though
Holy fuck this is hilarious! I thought the step after the heat gun was rolling it out of the shop and tossing a lit flare in the cab with the window down 🔥🤣
Yeeeeeep!!😁
The book flat rate didn’t account for this mess did it?
Why did you change the harmonic balancer please tell me
This is the funniest most wonderful video this is completely me trying to change a quick sensor
Talk about Murphys Law geeze Louis 🤪🤣
this is the crank sensor or cam sensor?
That was nuts. I couldn’t took away. Been there so many times.
I changed this sensor along with the solenoid, magnetic the bolt that goes into the cam and wire harness which the 2 connect into also 2 oil changes. Still have the p0011. Any ideas
I replaced my 02 sensors because they were throwing a code while at the tuner as well and both the cam shaft and 02 sensors are on. Are your 02s on as well ?
You Are THE MAN Pelon!!
+Odi Arroyo Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
My crankshaft sensor broke too can i drive it to mechanic or is it going to do more damage?
is this for crank or cam sensor?
Just need a camshaft sensor, pull it on in! 2 days and 100 idea's later, victory! Sucker was tight like a cork... maybe try a wine bottle opener next time
What a good price charge to replace this ?
How do I know it’s time to change !!! Will it give u any codes
Hello, can you tell me how I can get this part on Amazon, I can't find it, do you have the part number?
Ok man, I've got a 9-drawer toolbox on wheels, air tools and all the special tools I would need for this job... But... No thank you, I am going to go get estimates on this tomorrow.
Oh no...It's not corrosion of the cover that causes them to stick. They swell up over time. Sure wish I saw this video a couple days ago!
I was fixing an oil pan leak on my 5.3L with 326K miles and figured I'd replace the timing sprockets, chain and oil pump while I was at it. Turns out the timing sprockets, chain and oil pump were still like new. Barely a a groove in the tensioner surface. Would have been good for millions of miles. Anyway, I had a great idea to take out the camshaft sensor to clean the cover real good. Broke the sensor and couldn't get it to budge. Tried pressing it out. nope. That only crushed it. Ended up getting it out in pieces. The new one slid in no problem.
Halfway through this I would have just went to my box and got Thor and would have started wailing on it!
What code is this I’m getting a p0016
Appreciate seeing everything that could go wrong and your problem solving. I would have taken a sledgehammer to the entire truck.
+Pat Meek Thanks for checking us out, glad this helped! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
I would have just told the customer to come pick up his pos truck at this point
🔥that been my next move
I got mine out but when I get the bolt in it keeps popping back out 🤦🏽 done this several times this car is the hardest for me my Jeep was so easy to work on
This is the exact same thing I had to do yesterday omg 4 hours later.
Is there a Relearn procedure for ecm and new sensor?
+justin c Thanks for watching! This repair does not require any relearn process.
I actually learned alot
Got mine out before you did in the video.
What are the chances that a bad KPS cause a p0300 code?
I changed coils,cables,sparkplugs, Maf. And still have that code. My engine hesitates, sluggis,vibrates. (Misfires) it starts right up though.
Once it starts 20secs later The CEL starts flashing.
Thanks for you video.
"I'm just going to use a XXXX" Haha...do you sell that speciality tool you made there?
After going through all that headache, id definitely be putting on an OEM replacement to make sure im not back in there again.
+Jason Sims Thanks for checking us out!
It's really this much a pain! Mine just broke off... clean engine with the aluminium block, so don't know why it got stuck so bad.
Updated, did the exact same thing to pull it out. Wood block, screw and all!
Props to you sir I would of been swearing the 💩 out that sensor 😂😂
Is this the 6 ltr?
Just did this on my 09 Sierra, I had to drill it out, doing so it broke into pieces and I’m afraid some might have fell behind, i got 97% of it out but I know a small bit fell in. Will that effect anything? Time chain? Or cause damage to the cam/ block?
+bman6954 Having metal in your engine isn't good. Try draining the oil into a clean pan, and inspect both the oil and plug for metal bits. Good luck!
talk about patience. you must be a great dad.
+Scooby Doo Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
I'd had lost my ever lovin' mind. Seriously, watching this makes me not want to do the job 🤣
I ended up doing the job, but had to go the water pump route. Not any easier. Just messier.
You wonder why engineers make everything more and more complicated. Why not choose an easy place every mechanic could reach at without taking things apart before reaching what you replace? I always loved the simplicity of a VW Beetle. 6 screws engine out. Enough space to work on the engine and transmission. Today? Right.
It's really hard to be a Chevy guy sometimes
what if i broke it , how do i get it out any suggestions any one please??
That thing is tighter than a honda crank pulley bolt. Great video
+Oce's Mekanics Thanks for checking us out! 1AAuto.com
He made that slide hammer specifically for this video and this particular job. You can’t buy that thing as he has it configured. They didn’t tell you that.
Now how do you take the actuator out 😜
Is this the same for the 5.3?
Tyler Adams ?
Pretty much but it’s more open
I tapped my old one out but cannot get the new one in ! I don’t feel comfortable tapping it with a hammer 😞
Wooooo man just very Well done nice
I'm inpres
Thank you
What happen if a little piece broken get inside ?
change the oil
How can you tell if it's key or not?
Think Imma fork out some cash and let somebody else deal with the headache.
Im telling you right now i have a 2013 silverado 5.3 and mine is not like this you don't have to take off none of that period
How did you remove yours ?
@@jesusrubio9525 had to loosen from top and then from under going through the harmonic balancer spokes ultimately used a small pry to get it lose very easy
Bull. I ready get crazy trying to know how to change that sensor on my 2009 Chevy 5.3, and till now I see your message that I don’t have to remove all that
I would of said I hate being a mechanic about 10x fighting with that sensor lol
My Cam shaft !
So , how many tools do you need? Asking for a friend lol
