  • 2017 Buick Encore started shaking, sputtering, RPM surging & even squeaking. CEL came on along with a “Service Stabili Track” warning. All this due to the PCV that failed. The PCV on the 1.4T cars is built in to the valve cover so the valve cover replacement is required. It was an easy task and the part was available in stock at the local O’Reillys.

    Thank you!!, I knew it had to be a leak, I heard it, felt all around the hoses... But it's hard to pinpoint when it's running.

    Hello I have a 2017 Buick Encore and whenever I’m idling at a stoplight ect my entire car shakes Like a vibration sort of. Seems to only happen when idling and air conditioning is on. Also when pulling starting to drive seems to have less acceleration power. I’m a delivery driver so I drive 5-6 days a week anywhere from 80-160 miles a day. I know it’s a lot but my last car was a Ford Focus and the transmission took a dump and other issues. I’ll never get a Ford again. Just my personal opinion. Buick seems to be a reliable, strong car so far. I’ve had a lot of various repairs, parts replaced but that’s normal for as much as I. drive it I guess I purchased it with 28,000 miles and 2 years later it’s at 134,000 miles now. I need a new set of tires every year and oil change every month. I’ve been trying to learn everything about mechanics as I can to try and save money. Some places will take advantage of you.

      Wow! That sure is a lot of driving. Based on your driving characteristics (stop & go for the most part) It almost sounds like the motor & transmission mounts have gone bad. Assuming you have no CEL (check engine light) on, typically when mounts are bad, the car will have very harsh vibrations during idle & even more with the AC on. While at cruising speeds, the vibrations tend to go away. Since this is a FWD (front wheel drive) vehicle, you should check all 3 mounts. If they are bad, a quick search on ebay will show you can get all 3 mounts for under $150. Hope this helps!

      Yes. The PCV is built in to the cover. It was an easy straight forward replacement.

      That sounds like the same problem I had. That valve that fails is built in to the valve cover, so you have to replace the valve cover with a new one. O’Reilly had it in stock, even comes with the gasket. There are plenty of detailed how to’s here on you tube. Hope this helps

    • @v8pontiacvent
      @v8pontiacvent  2 года назад

      Sure. The valve cover has to be replaced. This is because the PCV (the part that fails and causes the vacuum leak) is built in to the valve cover and is not serviceable. The valve cover I obtained from the local auto parts store and was in stock. Came complete with the gasket. The replacement part I used is made by DORMAN. Replacement took less than 1 hour.

      @v8pontiacvent  Год назад +1

      The bad PCV valve makes it chirp. Not sure where the chirp sound comes from. But in order to replace the PCV, you have to replace the valve cover since it’s built-in to it.

    Hello I'm having kind of the same problem only thing is I'm getting oil inside where my spark plugs are. What do u think? One code is P0171

    • @v8pontiacvent
      @v8pontiacvent  2 года назад +2

      The valve cover wraps around where the coils and spark plugs go. It might be leaking oil through the inner portion on the valve cover. The new valve cover came with a new gasket. I did use a light layer of silicon for extra insurance. It will need silicone on the corners where the head and timing cover meet. The P0171 is typically related to a vacuum leak. Does yours make the same sound?
