I really appreciate you explaining everything you did. So many people don't do this. Also, the way you video the process is so much better than so many others. We can actually see what you are doing. Much respect.

@@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair I do have another question we also own a 2005 Chevy Colorado that shifts into all gears smoothly but when I shift it to REVERSE and give it gas it doesn't go no where I shift it to DRIVE AND it goes like a brand new truck it will drive in gear 1 and gear 2 and it parks but it will not move when I put it in reverse do you know what may be the cause of that?
@@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair ok thank you for taking the time to answer my question it is greatly appreciated I have definitely like and subscribed to your channel.
You should check the screen on the OLD solenoid and clean it out then try it and see if it will work Edit I just heard you mention it after I posted this. And this is why we need to change the oil on time and use the dealer oil filter and oil.. maintenance is key guy and excellent diagnosis K.
guys, if you’re having this problem with 2014 malibu or impala, take it to the dealer, they have a special coverage for this issue and will replace the part for free or if you fixed it already let them know and you will get your money back, if your has less than 120,000 miles or less than 10 years.
I’ve replace this myself and even took it to the dealership and they ended up replacing the same part saying that the one I put it wasn’t OEM. Code still came back when I replaced it and even when I I took it to the dealership.
I have codes P055b, P16D0, and P2626… I have replaced all three of these parts. I take rocker arm solenoid 1 and 2. Along with intake camshaft position actuator oil pressure sensor. Codes go away for awhile than I start coding one of the three… sometimes the exhaust solenoid code appears. This is an ongoing issue. I’m stumped… Great video though!
@@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair I been driving the car still .finally im parking it i don't hear no noise no ticking or anything crazy is just stalling a little bit and it still drives but I pulled the oil dipstick and I saw little bit of tiny metal shavings barely should I be worry ... does that mean I have to replace the arm rockers 😟
Working in an independent shop is tough. Systems are different from year to year, model to model, engine to engine and then brands. Subaru with bad ignition coil, next a Honda with noisy radiator fan followed the Malibu with lifter codes. Then confirm repair by driving to meet the PCM’s strategy, code does not return or pending (Type B, fail but need two drive cycles to turn on CEL.) If fixed, then EVAP leak on a Ford truck. Yes, very difficult as no two are the same as each cannot copy the other. I can’t record your song and sell it to make money too! Plus, you have to buy tools, learn new scan-tools if updated and buy software to stay current.

Great job on video, i have same code on 2015 mailbu and P0700 transmission code you don't think is related i did ask retired mechanic he said might cause P0700 on my end the car is drive fine but it's take little longer to shift .please let's me know .thanks!! and keep up with great video.
Thanks for the video you're the man. I subscribed. I had to order these parts for mine. They'll be delivered in 2 days. Do you think it's OK to drive untill I replace those parts?
Great video. I have the same car but ls trim. I had the same code but accompanied with a secondary p0300 misfire and u0401-71. Took to a shop and they replaced the vvt solenoid and the light came back on a day later. It’s been a couple days but I ran the codes on a borrowed scanner and it’s the same solenoid it’s saying. What could that be?
@@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair that’s what I was thinking thanks for the reply. I’m gonna get the code tan on a better scanner see if there any more secondary codes this time. If not I’m gonna change the solenoid in the back I just realized they only did the intake one on the side 🤦🏼
Have several question i have these codes p305f which i know its the battery, now i have the code p0496 & p2646 its says rocker arm oil pressure switch circuit low voltage so idk if i need the sensor or the solenoid loke the one u placed on the video
Erik Jones, Main battery and auxiliary battery issues may or may not throw a Trouble, have the car scanned and see what you have in memory, you might wanna go by the symptoms, but this code P2646 is related to the Rocker arm actuation system!
I have a 2015 check impala and I get a 2645 code, but it's reading as the same thing. When I look it up it did says low voltage detected but I don't know where to go from there. This started a little after I got my battery replaced
Goji GamerDude P2645 is set when there is a problem with the vvt solenoid ( intake ) or it's circuit... check that out or have a professional look at it
Bryan Guerra yes you can if the mechanical side of the solenoid is clogged! but in this case the electrical side of the solenoid was bad... which required replacing the whole solenoid!!!
What’s the sensor called under the intake solenoid I’ve had engine light on my 2014 Malibu and I have replaced the oil control valve, 2 02 sensors and both purge valves one under gas tank one under vacuum??
