This was very helpful! I"m not a mechanic, nor will I be doing the work on my car, but am happy to be able to understand the potential problems from my check engine light code when talking to the ones who will be doing the hard work. Thank you so much!
I have an '06 4.2L, and just had the engine replaced. It had the P0014 code when I brought it home and the engine started to lurch the next day, even though it had been running like a top. I happened to see on the paperwork from the shop that they had replaced the oil with 10w30, instead of the 5w30 it called for. I followed the advice to replace the oil and the code disappeared along with the lurching of the engine. You just never know. (Note: I had this issue about 6 months back and had also replaced the VVT solenoid, which seemed to help a little.)
So this is why my 04 Trailblazer run so good. It has 177,000 miles and I have never let it gotten lower than one quart of oil. I have gone as long as 9,000 miles without changing the oil but I used full synthetic. After buying a new 2016 F165. I plan to switch to Motorcraft synthetic blend for my next oil change.
I have an 04 GMC envoy, can't find third bolt on power steering pump looked for third bolt through the pump pulley hole and it wasn't there, I know there's a third one. ( Maybe 🤔 covered in grease ). Also in my camshaft silonoid is oil. Oil residue in tail pipe some oil in third cylinder (from front of vehicle). Got a code 300 and a p0014. Gonna replace cam poison silonoid, cam shaft sensor, and map sensor. Then gotta remove all 6 coil packs( which are new) clean out cylinders, change oil filter, clean out exhaust as much as I can do. I bought it like this had check engine light on. Original code s we're cat conv. 02 sensors. Air .thanks for sharing your video👍🙏This gets fixed 🚙💨💨💨💨💨
Great video, helped a lot with the power steering pump being in the way for clearance. Changed out mine on an 06 envoy in about 30 mins and runs great again!
Great video! For once I'm not yelling at the screen saying "EDITING PEOPLE...EDITING" or "HTFU and get to the point". One of only mechanic videos that didnt have any time wasting but also covered everything relevant. Thanks!!!
I REALLY appreciate the detail and close-up photography. Plus the commentary on screen adds further information. Very nice format for this type video. Well done!
I would put couple old speaker magnet's on bottom of oil pan. My Grandpa gave my Mom's a 64 Impala station wagon, she fried the engine not checking oil. Put down the iPhone, open the hood!
crimp creep does that work? The magnets on the oil pan? Do you just let it sit like that and then change the oil? Or what’s the process to properly do it ?
Nice video, besides no oil, in my opinion the oil life indicator on GMs are allowing too much time between oil changes causing "sludge" to block the screens on the vvt solenoids. I've seen some crazy stuff pull into the garage over the years. One of the funniest was a dad that filled his daughters car tires with 150psi of air(all four) after some kids deflated them at school. Must have taken forever with the tiny emergency pump he used. LOL
Son just picked up an 02 and it has a misfire and the P0014. Looks like I'll be replacing this solenoid soon. Just changed the oil, (wasn't low or anything, but I always change oil and brakes immediately when buying used). Oil change did not clear the code, and it still has the misfire, so that will be next. Hope it will work before any internal damage can happen!
This is crazy!! How did that motor even run. Ive got an 07 trailblazer ls 4.2l with 189000 miles on it and it does not want to die. Oh maybe because ive maintained the truck and crap. I love my trailblazer
Well you have by far the cleanest accurate camera shots out of any DIY video great knowledge recommend a hard drive magnet in or at the bottom of the oil pan if they are going to kill there Blazer your AWSOME. Have to do the same to my Blazer I bought from pick n pull fully loaded one bumps and cosmetic blemishes but hey not bad for $ 1,180.00 out the door. Thank you very helpful ^~.~^
Thanks ,I appreciate it. This truck ended up getting a rebuild short after this video. This is why it's important to take care of your truck. 👍thanks for watching
The mech a nic yeah, you were right. It wasn't going to last much longer. Those shavings said it all. I just bought one of these for 2000 dollars. I'm not sure why they would rebuild it, both from the money standpoint, and from the damage standpoint, just my opinion.
Nice build I like those trucks ,just gotta take care of them like any other car. It made no sense to me either . I'd assume it's cheaper and easier to slap a salvage yard engine in it and call it a day. Maybe the customer was confused on what the shop was going to do.
The mech a nic you're absolutely right. Oh well, some things are beyond our hands. I like these engines, plenty of power. Tons of parts availability etc. You did your part, that's what matters! 👍
I liked your video because you got visuals into the areas that needed to be seen if a person wants to do this work themselves. I have seen several others that either do not get the view in the down-and-dirty areas or just skip over, leaving a guy to guess at it as he goes.m The only thing you need to do is detail what were the wrench sizes needed for each bolt and nut removal and replace. THANX!
Just subscribed... this is exactly the video I needed to see... dang, all you guys really motivate me to start my RUclips channel and keep the videos rollin... I just bought an 2007 Trailblazer LT with 154,002 miles on it and I love it... imma do all the work myself... -well most of it... anyway thanks for the vid -just what I need to do, I have the same code
Ok changed out both of the cam shaft sensor & positioner and NO SHAVINGS ! Had plenty of oil, and I got the up grade with springs too " hate the dip stick " but still have stop engine " low oil pressure" so now what. The parts didn't look that old either but not new.
The i6 motor uses 7quarts of oil if it's not reading on the dipstick you have some serious problems. If you only have a quart and a half you need a new motor.
Great video. I'm about to replace that cam position solenoid in a 2012 Kia Sorento. Throwing that po014 code also. Hoping it clear my check engine light.
Any oil is better than no or low oil lol. How hard is it to check the oil. Sucks tho cause if they don’t check the oil they sure af ain’t checking fluids anywhere else like transfer case, front and rear differentials, transmission, blinker fluid, coolant, steering, muffler bearings…. Did I miss anything
I have a 2004 Buick Rainer(same as the Trailblazer). Got to watch it if you take these vehicles to Jiffy Lube or some quick place. Why? The typical only put 5 quarts of oil in. The oil capacity for these are 7 quarts. Happened to my dad at the dealership he bought it from. I saw on at least 2 of his oil changes they only put in 5 quarts.
This is the most straight forward and easy to follow video I found of this issue so far. Question: I have a 05 TrailBlazer with the P0017 code which is similar. I changed the VVT and the Cam sensor..I’m worried the timing chain skipped. Is there a way to check? Also I haven’t changed the crank sensor and that’s the only other sensor I can think of. Since I bought the truck it’s had this code, they went away when I changed the Sensors. Then started to come off and on months later. Now it stalled, and once I started it, been misfiring/lose of power ever since. (And this engine doesn’t smoke or leak but every month or two it’s down at least a quart or more, sometimes 2.) Any help would be appreciated!
Appreciate it bro. 02 trail blazer with the code popping up. I changed the camshaft sensor but it didn’t fix anything. I’m going to check the solenoid. Then do the oil. Hopefully that will work.
Do you guys like the i6 or the v8 better? And with opinion, which one lasts/runs longer with proper maintenance? I have an 02 with an i6 with 203K+ miles on it and I'd buy another in a heartbeat!
+RoDerrick Gaston I don't have much experience with these engines but I'd go with the i6 . With proper maintenance almost any engine can run for a long time. Thanks for watching 👍
In my case my transmission just started not working but has some fluid in it but the code reader saying that p0014 and other codes about the bank 01 exhaust system and crankshaft position
Good evening! Excellent Video! i am from Quito - Ecuador. My Trailblazer 2004 4.2 6l, I changed engine oil and filter, the engine is repaired, i changed the VVT valve and yet i still code P0014. What can it be and waht can i do please? Thank you very much!
any thoughts on having the code p1345 ckp/cmp correlation? Literally got it after backing out the driveway from doing an oil change. 2002 trailblazer now with 201k miles
Hello, cool video. I'm trying to pinpoint what could be wrong with 08 trailblazer 4.2 it vibrates a lot when put in drive and seems ok in park. There are no trouble codes , only stability control comes on. I'm thinking about this solenoid but what else could be the problem?
Sterling Witherspoon besides the scan tool I was using a DVOM or a multimeter. I wasn't commanding it on with the multimeter I was just reading the resistance of the solenoid.
I had the p0014 code on my 02, changed the VVT solenoid and it still runs like crap. Did a fresh oil and filter change the same time I changed the solenoid, what else could be the issue? Any ideas? Twice while driving it has stumbled, missed or whatever you want to call it when the vvt code gets thrown and blew the PCM fuse.
The mech a nic Strange..... I'm also using a 3/8" drive ratchet (Snap-On FL80,) and I cannot, for the life of me, get my ratchet to fit into that hole that you're showing to loosen the serpentine belt.
I knew a guy that at least twice drove cars without checking or changing the oil this they quite I dont remember how long they went but it was a kinda vrazy long time like over 50,000 i think
I replaced this months ago and now I have the same symptom, so I just took it off and looks clean but oil made it's way into the electrical connectors. Any thoughts?
@@shawnpatrick5452 that was the problem and I just a new one from auto zone. Not sure what caused it to go bad unless it was super cheap that the force of the oil being poured in caused it to be fault. Well see on the next oil change very soon
buen día me puede ayudar tengo una trailblazer 2001 iba en carretera de repente ya no aceleró y ya cuando me estacione otra vez trabajo bien y le acelere más y ya no kiso otravez entonces al otro día salí y trabajo bien y me estacione y al arrancar yano quiso agarrar ninguna velocidad tampoco la reversa quisiera saber k fue lo que le pasó ayudenme gracias.
me paso apenas ayer la tengo parada en mi casa no la e chekalo antes de esto me marcaba presión del aceite baja apaga el motor y lo apagaba y esperaba ake se enfriada y otra vez la prendía. y la luz del chekin engine siempre la a traído encendida orita la prendo y le pongo en una velocidad y le aceleró y no ase nada no responde
Hey man,great video! I replaced my camshaft solenoid and camshaft sensor it's running rough still but now a random multiple missfire code is popping up. Any idea?
@@themechanic6117 he found a good amount of flakes on the vvt solenoid screens. It's not on the oil that he sees on the dipstick though. Idk if he has tried changing the oil yet or not. If it does have a glittery appearance while draining it what could that be?
Ive had this code for a while can not pass emissions, changed valve but when I noticed that prior to owning it someone spliced the 2 wires to the valve what should a multi meter read at the plug? I have a feeling i have to current to the valve, also maybe i needed a relearn after the valve change? Cant shake this code. Thanks in advance.
The mech a nic I dont know but im guessing it was rigged to sell then a year after i had i ran into the problem. Frustrating but glad for vids like yours.
The mech a nic hey nice video everything was in its rightful place however what's the name of the code scanner you have and how much was it if you don't mind me asking
The mech a nic hey thanks for the info now my other question is i have a 2008 saturn outlook lx v6 and my code is p0017 and p0014 where is camshaft sensor bank 1 located
i replaced the vvt solenoid when the p0017 code came up, it just started to idle a little rough and i was on it. after i replaced it it really started running rough, stalled and gave me 3 new codes, po300, p014,p0365. I replaced the cam shaft position sensor and that got rid of p0365, spark plugs are next. But why all of a sudden it started running real rough and showing new codes anyone know. its a 2006 chevy trailblazer 6 cylinder

Lol the boss call 😆 I've had several jeeps come in with low oil. Ran like total crap. Changed the oil and good to go. Nice find Jon

Because those quick oil change places dont actually care about your car. Ive heard of them draining oil then forgetting to add oil

+wyattoneable I just can't believe how people let it get this bad. Thanks ,the editing is usually more fun that the actual recording.
And what are the functions that will acquire when the p0014 comes on
Great video man. I have an 05 trailblazer with similar issues.
+Sal Modica thanks, hope you get your problem fixed.
very good my brother
Thank you
Dude the oil pick-up is near the bottom of the pan. If the pump was not getting oil. The engine would be locked up.
+blackericdenice Which is why this engine needed a rebuild a week after this video.
So I replaced that sensor in my truck. But the new sensor from autozone didnt come with those mesh filters. Did I install a faulty sensor?
great video! thanks
Appreciate it bro. 02 trail blazer with the code popping up. I changed the camshaft sensor but it didn’t fix anything. I’m going to check the solenoid. Then do the oil. Hopefully that will work.
Did it work?
we had those fixed - both solenoid and cam sensor - see "common problems tb" vid
The better trade that vehicle in ASAP!
It ended up get a "new" engine very soon after this video
Good video 👍👍👍
Very helpful video, thank you.

V8 any second of the year. These i6’s are junk and slow as hell
1st class video!!!! great job!
Thank you. Hope the video helped you
What are the symptoms? Why are you checking the oil after you turn the motor over?
Oh I forgot to mention that I had the transmission rebuilt just after I bought the car has less than half of the warranty mileage for it check up !
In my case my transmission just started not working but has some fluid in it but the code reader saying that p0014 and other codes about the bank 01 exhaust system and crankshaft position
Gotta love people that don't check the oil..
+crunchybobjones yeah,it drives me crazy
Good evening! Excellent Video! i am from Quito - Ecuador. My Trailblazer 2004 4.2 6l, I changed engine oil and filter, the engine is repaired, i changed the VVT valve and yet i still code P0014. What can it be and waht can i do please? Thank you very much!
May need a timing job done and carefully inspect any phasers on the cam shafts
I would have cleaned the old one and put it right back in as long as the oms were good. Looks like you need to check your old little bit more often
This isn't my car.i was working on it for someone.
any thoughts on having the code p1345 ckp/cmp correlation?
Literally got it after backing out the driveway from doing an oil change.
2002 trailblazer now with 201k miles
When installing this is it recommended to get OEM cause I heard if you don’t you will need to replace them in a few months.
OEM is always best
Wtf its oem?
Original parts....as in go to the dealer for parts.
Hello, cool video. I'm trying to pinpoint what could be wrong with 08 trailblazer 4.2 it vibrates a lot when put in drive and seems ok in park. There are no trouble codes , only stability control comes on. I'm thinking about this solenoid but what else could be the problem?
Check the engine mounts
Question will a 2005 chevy trailblazer ext radiator fit a 2005 trailblazer ls?
Hey nice video. Other than the scan tool...What kind of electronic devise were you using on that screen to command the solenoid to come on!?
Sterling Witherspoon besides the scan tool I was using a DVOM or a multimeter. I wasn't commanding it on with the multimeter I was just reading the resistance of the solenoid.
Thanks 👍🙏
I had the p0014 code on my 02, changed the VVT solenoid and it still runs like crap. Did a fresh oil and filter change the same time I changed the solenoid, what else could be the issue? Any ideas? Twice while driving it has stumbled, missed or whatever you want to call it when the vvt code gets thrown and blew the PCM fuse.
Great Video
Thank you
How long did the engine go till failure after this? There had to be some major bearing damage after running with no pressure.
Daniel Beard about two weeks later, in the shop for new bearings. you called it.
The mech a nic Strange..... I'm also using a 3/8" drive ratchet (Snap-On FL80,) and I cannot, for the life of me, get my ratchet to fit into that hole that you're showing to loosen the serpentine belt.
IRaceFormula use a mirror or something to look in there and make sure nothing is blocking it . Is it a original tensioner?
IRaceFormula same . Mines gotta be smaller . Then 3/8 🤷🏻♂️
Usually corrosion is what causes the 3/8 to not fit
It's a shame when people don't look after their car! Checking the oil level is easier & takes less time than filling the fuel tank. =(
Thomas EXOVCDS Reason I bought a new truck. I’m tired of buying nice cars people didn’t do the most simple things.
Do I have to drain the oil before changing this part
No you dont
perfect video.
Thank you
Thank you
You're welcome
Was the truck having a hard time starting?
I don't think so but I really can't remember
I knew a guy that at least twice drove cars without checking or changing the oil this they quite I dont remember how long they went but it was a kinda vrazy long time like over 50,000 i think
Mine has the same code except it has full oil but it's black as coal if I did oil change would it clean itself and make the code stop
Check your oil for glitter like in thus video. Pull out and inspect the solenoid. If all is well stay on top of your oil changes
Mine shows around 11.1...what gives...is it bad? Also oil in connector...BAD? THNX
11 doesn't seem that far off. If oil Is coming from in the solenoid into the connector then I'd replace it.
I replaced this months ago and now I have the same symptom, so I just took it off and looks clean but oil made it's way into the electrical connectors.
Any thoughts?
Warranty the solenoid get a new one that one must be defective
@@shawnpatrick5452 that was the problem and I just a new one from auto zone. Not sure what caused it to go bad unless it was super cheap that the force of the oil being poured in caused it to be fault.
Well see on the next oil change very soon
Whenever you see oil seeping into the connector that part is bad.replace it. 👍 hopefully you have better luck with the new part
That's insane no oil
+ev dallas exactly, soon after it needed new bearings
Hey man. How many quarts of oil takes a trailblazer v6 ? What oil do you recommend after 200k miles?
4.2 inline 6 takes 7 qts of oil

Hey man,great video! I replaced my camshaft solenoid and camshaft sensor it's running rough still but now a random multiple missfire code is popping up. Any idea?
Have you checked your oil?
Thank You for replying and Oh no i haven't yet. I will do an oil change but if that doesn't fix the issue what else do you think it would be?
Did you leave something unplugged? A connector? A vacuum hose?
@@themechanic6117 I have some questions
So what is internally wrong with it then? A friend of nine has this issue and the engine rattles now. What could that be?
Most likely that engine is trash already
@@themechanic6117 ouch. He says it drives alright. Just rattles while doing so. No way to save it? Or is it just completely done for?
@@themechanic6117 someone told him it could be a timing chain issue as well. Any truth to that?
It could be but it depends on the noise it's making and if the oil that comes out of it has glitter in it
@@themechanic6117 he found a good amount of flakes on the vvt solenoid screens. It's not on the oil that he sees on the dipstick though. Idk if he has tried changing the oil yet or not. If it does have a glittery appearance while draining it what could that be?
Ive had this code for a while can not pass emissions, changed valve but when I noticed that prior to owning it someone spliced the 2 wires to the valve what should a multi meter read at the plug? I have a feeling i have to current to the valve, also maybe i needed a relearn after the valve change? Cant shake this code. Thanks in advance.
+djmachete005 why is that valve wires spliced? Follow the wires n try to figure out what's going on.
The mech a nic
I dont know but im guessing it was rigged to sell then a year after i had i ran into the problem. Frustrating but glad for vids like yours.
+djmachete005 I understand, figured out what it's rigged into
This is a 7 quart engine! WTF is wrong with people!?
+groosbro I know.its crazy. Hear a loud noise and just keep driving
The mech a nic
I have an '07 Trailblazer with almost 100K miles on it... These things will run forever with proper maintenance.
+groosbro I believe it, it's when people don't take care of it.
The v8 only has 6 quarts which is funny that the six has more oil than a v8
Help ! Under the car to remove the oil pan and can't get it to drop 02 trailblazer vortex 4200 online 6 replacing the pump
Probably glued on with silicone, you're going to have to keep prying to get it off
Oh... and I like the video transition (your hand pulling the next scene)!
+Thomas EXOVCDS lol thanks, that was me experimenting.
Hey dude what the part called my chance
Cam solenoid
Will that code throw a 2135 code too??
That probably wont be related to this
Where did you get the part I know it's a Delphi SL 0064 NOBODY IN CALIF SAN JOSE HAS IVE BEEN HUNTING ALL DAY
I got it from AutoZone, you may have to buy it online if you can't get it at stores.
The mech a nic hey nice video everything was in its rightful place however what's the name of the code scanner you have and how much was it if you don't mind me asking
Frank smith it's the Bosch obd2 scanner. You can get them online or at oreillys auto parts for about $200 for the model I have
The mech a nic hey thanks for the info now my other question is i have a 2008 saturn outlook lx v6 and my code is p0017 and p0014 where is camshaft sensor bank 1 located
Would the code still show with a new solenoid but only 5 QT??
+djmachete005 why only 5 qt? Fill it to the full mark. If the code comes back you may have other problems
good vid
Thanks
i replaced the vvt solenoid when the p0017 code came up, it just started to idle a little rough and i was on it. after i replaced it it really started running rough, stalled and gave me 3 new codes, po300, p014,p0365. I replaced the cam shaft position sensor and that got rid of p0365, spark plugs are next. But why all of a sudden it started running real rough and showing new codes anyone know. its a 2006 chevy trailblazer 6 cylinder
What if my code comes back
Any help plz
If that was a ford or dodge or any other engine besides GM that engine would be DOA!..
Mine wont side out
Side out ?
Don’t use an aftermarket Solenoid
Cross your fingers no shavings cuz it died on me today at a light
Hopefully all turns out well !! 👍😊
Fallas de ese sensor
I hot code p0014 & p0017
Drain the oil. If it has glitter in the oil then the engine is no good
Wtf are you talking about ?
