Replacing this valve requires an oil change at the time of replacement. Not changing the oil can cause the new valve to not operate properly. This is according to the OEM tag that comes with the new valve.

I LOVE how everyone's important questions gets an answer ... Glad there are more channels here too choose from

My son's car had the p2646 code a couple weeks ago. I changed the solenoid assembly on the back of the motor which had just started to leak and it worked for a week while he was home. Then on his way back to school it happened again 2 hrs away and the car wouldn't run over 3000rpm. He limped it home on back roads yesterday and I guess I'll change this solenoid out today and see if that fixes it.
Thanks for the video. Lest hope it's as easy as you made it look.

That early style solenoid valve with the black rubber seal running between the lands allows hydraulic cross flow between the lands which causes the intake cam to stay advanced at low engine speed which is the cause for P1009 and very rough running. New style solenoid without the seal between valve lands solves that problem.

This ended up fixing my p2646 code on my Element SC 2007 😊

[@xena_irl5964]

do you have to drain the oil before removing that part?

[@Gomeeze904]

great video!! thank you.

[@koulee2014]

Stick with the oem parts especially electronic

[@wesabney9006]

When pulling out solenoid came out in pieces whats the best way to get second half out

[@brucewilliams2106]

So no need to remove steering pump or belt stuff?

[@ketoninja]

You seem to be working in the area where the Power Steering Pump and Belt Tensioner would be. ????? Sure it's this easy? I can definitely see you've removed the serpentine belt.
