Thank you so much for posting this simple little fix. I feel like a weight has been lifted knowing this is something I can fix myself. Thank you very much sir.

[@TheFritoNinja]

This video helped! Thanks for the links brought the part and had my mechanic fix it

[@williamshull3217]

I paid about $300 a year ago to get both solenoids replaced on my son's 2013 Malibu with the 2.5L engine. After watching your video, I'm sure I could have replaced them myself. Thank you for your clear video instructions.

[@backyardchevy328]

Thank you🙂 yea it would of been a good amount of money to save

My new one ohmed out at 6.0 is that good?

[@k.orourke8517]

I'm getting codes P0010 and P0010P. I measured my existing intake VVT solenoid and got a reading of 14.1 ohms, just above the range of 4-12 ohms mentioned in the video but not in the megaohm range like the bad one in the video. Is a reading of 14.1 ohms high enough to indicate that the intake VVT needs to be replaced? I've also seen other RUclips videos that suggest cleaning the screens and internal portion behind the screens with CCR Mass Airflow Sensor first before buying new solenoids.

[@backyardchevy328]

If its that close to specs it should be ok...yea, if electronically it checks out ok then u would wanna try cleaning em to see if it helps it out mechanically

[@charlesronk2989]

My 2015 Malibu is throwing this code. It runs ok when first started and at higher speed, but after driving for like 15 minutes when you slow down it bucks and coughs sometimes stalling. Could this be what is wrong. What are the normal observed symptoms of a vehicle with a bad VCT solenoid.

[@charlesronk2989]

I checked the ohms and my old one was 11.55 and the new one was 6.54.

[@lauramartinez1757]

[@jjamesreyy]

[@petertorres455]

[@JuanCastillo-jh3vf]

Too funny The car I'm working on is a silver 2014 Chevy Malibu it's my mother's and it is the exact one that you have in this video same color same interior everything except my mother's is a lot cleaner no offense 😃

[@frankflores6247]

Can the connectors be replaced?

[@backyardchevy328]

Yes, u can slide out the wires individually and slide em into a new connector so u dont have to cut the wires..i should make a video on that

[@frankflores6247]

@@backyardchevy328 thanks I replaced them yesterday and the clip on the inside broke, it still connected and runs great but I’m worried it will slip.

[@backyardchevy328]

@@frankflores6247 yea i know what u mean, any vibration can cause it to disconnect and u wouldnt want that

[@mikewiley1652]

Where do you get the connectors I've talked to AutoZone and advance Auto and neither of them even has a listing for the connectors for the 2014 Chevy Malibu with the 2.5 LS

[@YPCRaul]

[@backyardchevy328]
