Wow💥 I can't believe you took that little bolt out that fast ! I couldn't even get to it, and gave up --- I did change the the front one" the intake"-- thanks man! Appreciate' your efforts to share your information with us !!!
watched a few vids before attempting this and yours was the one that brought all the success. Especially helpful in describing how to remove the white clip - and be extra careful with the bolt!! Me be very grateful to you!!
Just had the same problem my friend I just changed the mass flow air sensor the throttle body position sensor the VVT valve solenoids and I just changed the camshaft sensor and all of it took me roughly 2 hours to do spark plugs and oil so yeah your video was very helpful and my car is running just fine
What was the car doing to change all that?? Mines is running smooth. But at a stop light or come to a stop, it idles rough and feels like it wants to shut off..
I found out that it’s best to use a 10mm box wrench and walk it loose slowly. It is not real tight so all you literally have to do is break it loose then you can use 2 fingers to loosen it up. I also had a pair of the gorilla grip latex gloves and it worked really good. Everything else I tried did not work. All I can say is be patient and you may have to force your hand into a tight space. Good luck.
Same issue with eating oil,that you mentioned, or really oil coming out of front crank shaft, had to replace seal easy enough, and from what I read, these seals go out quick and cause oil loss.
Very well done sir! I just don't understand why you make such a big deal about loosing that freaking bolt! I got a new one with the CPS but if you don't just get one from your local GM dealer before attempting this job! It's a cheap mental health assurance ...😅
What Codes? I am having code P0016 Crankshaft position/Camshaft position correlation sensor A bank 1. Symptoms are jumpy idle in P,R,N,D,M as well as jumpy/jolting while braking. Any help is appreciated. As for Oil consumption its burning though about a quart a week.
@malikj5233 hey man did u figure anything out with yours.?? Mines have jumping idle and when I brake it jerks, but rides smooth as hell.. only when I come to a stop it acts like it wants to shut off. Have to pop it in neutral .. Mark,
But roughly the camshaft sensor only took 30 minutes right at the top in the back and I did it while the engine was still hot it only took 30 minutes literally 30 minutes the boat comes to lose pretty easy it but I did mine with a 10 mm wrench but it was so easy
This sensor was harder to change than any other.. engineers do NOT care about the man who has to fix it.. they will say, IM AN ENGINEER.. IM SMART, BUT PUT ONE OF THE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSORS AT THE BACK OF FIREWALL ON BACK SIDE OF MOTOR.. AND NOT ONLY BACK THERE.. BUT.. BACK THERE AND TURNED AROUND BACKWARDS.. AND THE BOLT GOES IN TOWARDS YOU.. LOL.. NOT ONLY THAT EITHER.. ITS BACK THERE.. UNDERNEATH IT, FACCING BACKWARDS, AND AT A 45 DEGREE ANGLE UPWARD.. WHHHYYYYYYYYYY????.. I'm lucky I have a building, full of tools for mechanical and carpentry.. because some people do not have the way to change this.. this is how the dealership gets people to HAVE TO PAY THEM TO FIX IT.. DEALERSHIP WILL COST YOU PROBABLY HUNDREDS TO CHANGE IT.. AND ITS ONLY 1 BOLT.. LOL.. THE GARAGE ABOUT 6 MILES FROM MY HOUSE CHARGES 86 DOLLARS PLUS TAX.. TO CHANGE THAT 1 SENSOR.. TO CHANGE IT ONLY TAKES 1 BOLT 🔩. 1.. LOL.. SO.. GARAGE 86 PLUS TAX.. WHICH IS 100 BUCKS TO REMOVE 1 BOLT.. DEALERSHIP PROBABLY CHARGE 3 TIMES THAT TO REMOVE THAT 1 BOLT 🔩.. I HAVEN'T PRICES DEALERSHIP ON THIS ACTUAL PRICE.. BUT IM BOUT 100 PERCENT POSITIVE IT WOULD BE A LOT... AND ITS ONLY 1 BOLT.. WITH ALL DUE HONESTY THO, THIS SENSOR IS NOT EAST TO REMOVE THAT 1 BOLT.. ITS HARD TO GET TO BECAUSE IT SETS SIDWAYS AND BACKWARDS BUT 45 DEGREE ANGLE UPWARD.. AND ITS BETWEEN BOTH THE HEATER HOSES.. 😆 🤣...
I need to do this on my dad's GMC terrain. I did the solenoids now I got to do two cam sensors. Thank for the great video.

Thank you now i know where it’s at ,, it looks easy

thanks for showing! Was there a "re-learn" process after u installed?
This was extremely helpful
Was there a p0016 code is that why u changed the sensor ?
This was very helpful, does engine light go off automatically or does it need to be reset?
What engine are you working on? Is this the same for all 3 engines Chevy put in the Equinox?
So I replaced intake and exhaust actuators and the camshaft in the back. had code p0011 and p0016
still not starting, any thoughts?
Timing chain might be loose.

is this process much different for a 2012 Equinox Ls?
Thank-you brother.

I'm having similar issues with mine. Have you had any luck figuring out what could be ?
Yea I’m having this problem
@@stefhanfrye5951 did u get anyhting fixed yet?
Anything??
@malikj5233 hey man did u figure anything out with yours.??

Mark,
So don't un plug the battery?
Good video
????? Mine has the p0017 code so that would be the front on right
If that sensor is a 0013 is the 0016 the sensor on the side?
Should be one in front and in back
