I am replacing the entire timing chain system now. Also doing a water pump. That's "dry start" rattle of the timing chain against the buffer arms and guides. Good job 😁👌 Now you know what your listening to NEXT TIME 😉
Cloyes kits are the best, I’ve done a few timing chain jobs on these engines with them. Just bought a equinox,and plan on replacing timing and water pump as a precaution 😊😊
Good video, I appreciated that you took the time to admit the mistake you made on the scanner, and you corrected as you were learning more on the scanner. I am experiencing the ticking sound and my 2010 Equinox just hit 194000 today, so I have started replacing the items I know have been on the vehicle since factory. The belt (not that the belt is causing the tick sound), spark plugs and boots. Now I am getting into the sensors that you were talking about early in the video.
Those plugs looked pretty good. I don't think I've ever found a bone while working on a car. Nice work on figuring it out, you know that constantly never having oil is the root cause. What are the odds of having another same type vehicle coming in the next day, crazy lucky. Half an hour of driving??? You win the lottery? That's like $20! I've said it before and I'll keep saying it, your customers are extremely fortunate to have you to diagnose and fix their vehicles. Yer a good egg Jonathon. An over worked and underpaid egg, but a good one. Keep doing the right thing and the money will come.
Low oil is definitely the cause of all of this. I was thinking the same thing about the same car coming in the next day. That's why I took advantage of the situation and got a scope capture. Lol with gas prices I know, but I asked the owner before hand. She said to do what I gotta do 👍
Dude, the slack on that timming chain is unreal, I bet the guides are trashed, I have seen a little wiggle in a chain but DAMN that's nuts, that it has not jumped timing even a few teeth. I bet you that 99% of that is from the lack of oil condition the other 1% depending on the milage would be normal wear. You know as well as I do that no oil also means they don't check the oil or change it as they should. Good job and love your content and format of showing us the compete job in one video even if it takes weeks to months. Good job!
I think the reason why things weren't destroyed is because we caught it early on. If it were neglected and the owner kept driving it could have been much worse. Lack of oil is definitely the root cause
Also there is a little orifice in the intake that needs cleaned out. Just don't make it too big otherwise you will have a intake weried noise. This can fix the same rough idle issue.
After you pick your car go into the search bar on top and type in timing chain and component kit. I'd recommend the cloyes kit that comes with everything in it. It's should be around $238 for that kit
Fantastic informative video señor , I learned a lot from watching it and now I will apply it to my buddies cheap ass 2010 Kia forte. Same codes but suspect timing components..thanks brah .👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks for letting me know where not to come now how could you not check the oil first you going to start doing work pulling parts off the car and charging people excess amounts of money for that crap
You mentioned the breather air post. That little hose you picked up. I literally snapped mine in half, taking the top of to replace the solenoids. Ugh. I'm glad they're cheap.
This car belongs to a customers of mine. This is the second time I've worked on this car but this is the moment we realized she has a oil problem. It's so bad that it'll be low on oil a month after a oil change.
Hey, I have an issue going on with my 2011 malibu ls. Just for some background context, I got the car at 136k & I have around 151k now and I'm close to being able to fix it since our other vehicle is almost done. I have to have the front camshaft sensor unplugged and have it run with the crankshaft atm or else it wont start or keep the engine running. I definitely plan on replacing the timing chain because it's obvious that there's ticking, it's not running perfect, and it should solve the issue for the sensor but after seeing this, I was wondering if you think differently. I just can't seem to find any issues of needing the sensor unplugged to have the car run and my mechanic doesn't feel comfortable doing it either.
With the problems you have and the miles it sounds like a timing chain problem. Leaving a sensor unplugged is not a solution. How often do you change the oil ?
Ok so you have the same exact codes this car had in the video. It's going to need a timing job done. Make sure you change all the parts I did in this video. Including the solenoids and phasers
Maybe the lack of oil caused the links in the chain to wear more, creating the slack.
Lack of oil was definitely the root cause
The mech a nic to the rescue, once again.. Saving turds from being flushed straight to the Junkyard!!!
One turd at a time. 👍🤣

J, you are much more skilled than the average mechanic brother. Honest, fair, and a man with principle and a conscious. People are lucky to have you.
Thank you 🙏 feels good fixing cars . If the customer is happy I'm happy

Great video and diagnostics ,
Thank you! This was a difficult video to put together. That's why I waited 2 months to get the video together lol

Good fix... terrible cars.
Thanks for watching 👍
My 2013 equinox does this when it needs oil change
You didn’t have a mistake using the scope, at that point, you had a learning experience!
Very true!
I have a 2014 equinox. What kit did you use?!? Where did you get the kit from? You did a awesome job. I’m bout to do that same job on my truck
Got all my parts from rockauto.com
What did you put in the search bar exactly to get those parts? You did awesome man

@@themechanic6117 hahahahaha
it runs way better now she has run it with low oil for to long
That engine burns oil like crazy. She constantly has to keep a eye on the oil now

Nice video! I'm having trouble finding out if my chevy spark has bad timing sprockets intake and exhaust or sensors , it sounds like a diesel engine 😢
Buy the timing kit that replaces everything. Do the job once
how long to replaice and howmuch
What about the camshaft position sensors? Did u replace those too bcs that was one of codes i got to change out too
No, those sensors weren't part of the problem. Just because you get a code for that sensor, it doesn't mean the sensor is bad
was that oil check you did the first in 4 years?

@@themechanic6117 I’ll usually do it when it’s around 20%. I look at the dipstick too just to make sure & change it
With the sensor plugged in what codes does the car set? You need to pull the codes for the check engine light
@@themechanic6117 P0011 & P0014

What’s up bro are u in California?
Sorry I'm not
Oh ok thanks
