    Thank you for taking the time to make the video. My exhaust solenoid failed on my Malibu at 82K miles. It started sounding like I had jake brakes or a custom air cleaner when the CEL came on. Dealer quoted $287. You also gave specific instructions on how to disconnect the wiring connector (3:15). Cleared code with OBD2 Scanner. Fuel mileage shot back up immediately. Thanks again, sir!

      You can also disconnect the battery for about 5 minutes and the check engine light should go off if you have already changed the solenoid. 👍
      Worked for me anyway.

      Well is recommended to replace both as they get dirty as well, other wise if you replace one shortly after you will have to replace the other one. I have a 2014 Chevy malibu and pretty much replaced almost all the sensors. If you have any questions, shoot me a text, and I'll be more than happy to help

    My car is doing a very small skip/shudder in 3rd and 4th gear. The ONLY code that keeps coming up is P2646 (15’ Malibu LT 2.5). I changed the oil and it started driving a little better, but it’s still doing that random skip/shudder (it’s ugly). Any suggestions? Again, no other code comes up and when i turn the car off, the engine light goes away and the car is fine. Not sure what to do.

    • @fixit3879
      @fixit3879  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hey there, sorry to hear about your car. So 1st thing I suggest is to check the related fuses, some of these cars have a fuse for related oxygen sensors, rocker arm actuator system, and related sensors. Just pull you owner's manual and start checking every single fuse or just related fuses. If any related fuse is bad, replace it. Also replace your Air filter if it is bad or dirty. If you had the Air filter for more than 10-12K miles just go ahead and replace it. It only costs $10-$20 or so. Since it ran little bit better after oil change, the problem seems to be the dirty, or clogged solenoids, valves, and sensors. So I would also pour in about 5 ounces of Seafoam or Gumout into the engine run it for 20-30 highway miles or so and then do another fresh SYNTHETIC oil change. This might help, but you have to spend $30-$50 on this one. Here is one video where it helped my car after I changed the "Oil Control Valve" on the engine. So here it is:

    That’s strange because that part is a ENGINE VARIABLE TIMING SOLENOID. The CAMSHAFT SENORS A/B BANKS are small plastic plug looking. Codes P0016/P0017 is the manufacturer’s EU ID#. Those 2 parts in the video are filterers and sliding slot valves for timing of the cam lobe and spark firings DURALAST TS1191. I know because I have a 2015 CM with the 2.5 liter Eco TRASH. I had trouble with check engine light from TIMING CHAIN SLACK,PCV FRESH/ SECONDARY/SPARK SEQUENCE/ACCELERATOR THROTTLE POSITION/LOW OIL PRESSURE/ REDUCE ENGINE POWER/HIGH O2 and EXHAUST O2 and RESONATOR SENSOR oh yea my head lights, both brake lights and the turn signals along with the battery all started and went bad at exactly 105k mile marker. I change my oil, brakes, fuel filter and maintenance of all my vehicles in scheduled maintenance . This is the only GM vehicle in my entire life. I am a FORD AND TOYOTA MAN. This vehicle is a highway vehicle and it’s a piece of SHIT. I have a FORD MUSTANG 1990 is a hot rod with BOOST 1656HP,FORD EXPE 4.6 has 187K miles and Lexus GS460 has 134k milesNo problems with any BUT THIS ECO TRASH is a SHIT Pile.

    • @fixit3879
      @fixit3879  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      No not growl or noise. It was fine after I fixed the code and replaced the intake solenoid valve. However 2 months later same code re-appeared. This time I had to replace an “Oil Pressure Control Valve” and it fixed the shakiness at 35-60 mph speed. The oil pressure valve part coast around $98. There 2 fixes that I found out so far. Replacing the oil pressure control valve helps too. And please people use synthetic oil now. These modern cars the conventional oil is messing up all the valves and tiny engine components from my personal experience. And do change oil frequently without delays....

    • @fixit3879
      @fixit3879  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Maybe so. But the problem with synthetic blend is we don’t know how much of it has synthetic oil in it. So most mechanics suggest using synthetic oil on these modern cars. I personally switched to Royal Purple premium Synthetic oil a year ago for ALL my cars. I can go 10-12K miles on Royal Purple. I love it. So my opinion is using synthetic oil is better than using synthetic blend. Good Luck!

    The code P16D0 is for the Intake rocker arm solenoid valve 2 stuck off. The solenoid you replaced is for theVariable Valve Timing system and NOT the rocker arm control system. The intake rocker arm solenoids are in the center/back side of the valve cover. You replaced the wrong part that had nothing to do with your code. Maybe know what you're doing before posting a video on TH-cam because who knows how many people replaced the wrong part because of your video. You really should take this video down so more people don't waste their time and money.
