I have a 10 enclave, same engine. Trust me, the timing chains are coming. And if you don't replace the chains when they first act up, you'll be getting a new engine for $2500 to $3500 from junk yard. Oh, then the rack and pinion and power steering pump. Word to anyone watching this if you have these trucks or any car with this engine sell it ASAP. Trust me sell it.
Yesss! These cars are trash😂😂 sadly we have one.. rack and pinion is messin up. Transmission went out on us once, thottle body issue, we already did the timing. Ac Etc.. these cars are just no bueno haha
I love my 16 buick lacrosse it barely started shaking today #5 misfire plus my power stabilitrac is on. I just got it back from getting it repaired after a wreck i have never had any problems with my car until today.
08 Enclave. I got the random misfire code. Car would stumble and not accelerate. Ran rough and seemed to go into a "limp mode" when asked to accelerate. Changed plugs, didn't work. Changed coil packs, didn't work. Changed MAP Sensor ($35 Bosch part) ... Bingo Problem solved. Erased codes then changed oil. 2 days now, no issues
Got the same issue right now 2007 GMC Acadia with 220K . Engine started shaking while driving. Codes P0202 0204 0206 popped. Replaced all spark plugs and fuel injectors, Codes were gone but now have P0300 code and engine still shuttering, shaking and misfiring.
The 3.6 V6 in the Traverse is Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI). The venting gases from the PCV valve results in a carbon buildup on the Intake Valves. With no fuel vapor flowing over the Intake Vakes to clean them, the airflow eventually becomes restricted. This is a design oversight in early GDI engines. My 2011 Enclave has the same engine and had similar issues. I used Seafoam Upper Engine Treatment and fixed my issues. This however will only last so long before needing to be treated again. Your best long-term solution is to install an Oil Catch Can between the PCV valve and the Air Intake. This stops the vaporized oil from getting on the Intake Valves. The Catch Can needs to manually emptied every 1,000 miles or so which adds to regular maintenance.
I've seen videos of enclaves getting the pvc extra holes and a oil catch my PVC is on the front of the air intake the part that gets in the motor is so dirty it has oil around the out side of it I clean the big are intake it had a lot of oil in the videos I've seen with the enclave they have a tube that is on the back also I don't see one on my 2012 traverse do I only have the one on the front.
The problem was/is the catalytic converters came apart and clogged the exhaust, some people may think its a battery problem because the engine its hard to crank, it does that because the exhaust is clogged
Surprised that you didn't create a bigger problem when you sprayed the Carb Cleaner in all of the intake runners without checking to see which valves were open, and which ones were closed.
Stop guessing put the scanner on and stop guessing if it isn’t the crank or cam position sensor then it’s definitely the timing chains it has 3 of them
Did you ever check the code to see which one was miss firing and recheck it again to see if it errased the code? I have a missfire on cylinder 1. swapped the coils from a different cylinder still same code, even swapped the spark plugs as well just to see and still cylinder 1.....any help?
Mis-firing from a bad fuel injector could be your cause. Usually, the vibration from a lack of fuel misfire is less severe than a no-spark misfire if you already know what those feel like in your particular car.
My car is doing this and on the dianostic it gave 3 codes, control module long term reset, crank & camshaft not plausible,engine bank 1 throwing signal, but my car was doing exactly what yours was so I'm going to cross my fingers
My opinion I own too. Travers, Enclave, Acadia, Equinox all suck!! Always see them for sale new engines. I had to replace mine. With proper care and treatment. Loved it till problem after problems. My was running then had to constantly jump it. Or trickle charge. Would jump, now absolutely no power. New everything. It run, but turn that key off. Dead no lights on anywhere. Ready for a bon Fire. Put way to much into it to it. I’m not giving anyone else problems. I just say on swaps don’t buy it. I have no clue what is wrong no engine light. So I can’t scan the vehicle for codes piece of crap!! Fed up!!! Sell it or don’t buy one!!!
@@jaymartin9468 ahh currently about to replace a starter after the mechanic pulled a couple fuses and put the same ones back in and she started right up and ran several more trips then refused to start again. I'm so tired of this car!
My 2016 chevy traverse AWD Lt is skipping and bucking when you accelerate even trying to go up hill i cleaned out the throttle body it was very nasty gumed up black didn't do anything for it acts like transmission is slipping on it i have appointment to hopefully get it fixed. Hopefully some one can tell me what it could be any help would be appreciated Merry Christmas out there
Check all the minor things like air filters and check your coils and unplug each one by while running and see if there is a change in the engine idle if you don’t hear a change when unplugging one then that coil has burned out check the pcv make sure there’s no Vacuum leaks etc…
My experience was I had my enclave 2010 shaking past 60 miles per hour it was coil problems I changed 2 coils and spark plugs and that solved my problem.
@@mts0628 thanks for the detailed reply I appreciate it..the mechanic from the dealership told me its my transmission. They changed my transs oil and doesnt help anything.. Ill let you know if I fix mine and pls let me know also if ul be able to fix yours... Ill do this by myself first so that I can also have additional knowledge about these things
@@mts0628 my next move will be spark plugs and intake manifold gasket, and will also try swapping my throtle body with maybe a used one thinking it could be the thing that controls the throtle while recieving signal from the computer because I also have a little bit erratic rpm specially during cold startup. After that, I’ll do my ignition coil and lastly, my fuel pump which I highly suspecttd also.
@@mts0628 fortunately, I solved the problem by changing my sparkplugs,it turned out that one or two of my sparkplugs has lots of soot that it maybe blocked the part where sparks happen and as a result made it weak, so the result is theres a little missfire everytime I go uphills. That causes the hesitation/jerking like effect before shifting from last gear. Aside from changing the sparkplugs, I also replaced mg intake manifold gasket which I think doesnt really need replacement.
That’s is too much cleaner going down to the pistons you may have made things worst you got chemicals along piston rings sound like you made a engine clatter issue that miss came from some other vacuum leak

nailed it.
As a mechanic the 3.6 is trash regardless of how well it was maintained

2010 acadia. 200k miles. Same issues.
Ty very much for this video 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Thank you let me watching. Good job.
08 Enclave.
I got the random misfire code.
Car would stumble and not accelerate.
Ran rough and seemed to go into a
"limp mode" when asked to accelerate.
Changed plugs, didn't work.
Changed coil packs, didn't work.
Changed MAP Sensor ($35 Bosch part) ... Bingo Problem solved.
Erased codes then changed oil.
2 days now, no issues
Try crc gdi intake cleaner. You dont have to take the top out. And clean out the mass air flow sensor.
Thank You !!
I have a traverse also. Same issue, very very dirty intake and valves. How is your engine still running?
It is a bad fuel injector causing all the problems. It makes the coil go bad And you get an OBD reading of a misfire.
Maybe it was the coil pks on top of plugs. Causing the misfire
Do you still have the traverse I’m having so many problems with mine hoping your videos would help
She's definitely clean now 😁

My 2012 is doing the same thing. Mine is stalling at operating temperature though. Still baffled why its doing that.

I clean the big are intake it had a lot of oil
in the videos I've seen with the enclave they have a tube that is on the back also
I don't see one on my 2012 traverse
do I only have the one on the front.
The problem was/is the catalytic converters came apart and clogged the exhaust, some people may think its a battery problem because the engine its hard to crank, it does that because the exhaust is clogged
Yeah i was just told by an electrical shop that it was either timing or converters clogged
My car just did the same thing i had to change the alternator n starter n battery and now its shaking bad and misfiring
Considering my car has a exhaust leak. I've thought about this
How to unclogg?
Surprised that you didn't create a bigger problem when you sprayed the Carb Cleaner in all of the intake runners without checking to see which valves were open, and which ones were closed.
Needs a intake gasket and coil pack and plug I just did it to mine and fixed it
How is the vehicle is the engine still good
What's the brand of the intake cleaner you're using?
Purge valve and mass flow sensor.
Stop guessing put the scanner on and stop guessing if it isn’t the crank or cam position sensor then it’s definitely the timing chains it has 3 of them
And i was told timing chains too but no sounds either or that my converters were clogged
try drilling bigger holes in the pcv valve in the rear crank case is not breathing. causes oil build up in throttle body
Did you ever check the code to see which one was miss firing and recheck it again to see if it errased the code? I have a missfire on cylinder 1. swapped the coils from a different cylinder still same code, even swapped the spark plugs as well just to see and still cylinder 1.....any help?
Mis-firing from a bad fuel injector could be your cause. Usually, the vibration from a lack of fuel misfire is less severe than a no-spark misfire if you already know what those feel like in your particular car.
My infiniti giving the same problem but my own is clean
Looks like the one I worked on a week ago. Had one bad coil and plugs were all changed
Change your oil after treating intake with seaform small parts may be moving tru your engine broken parts of carbon chips and may plug up something.
My car is doing this and on the dianostic it gave 3 codes, control module long term reset, crank & camshaft not plausible,engine bank 1 throwing signal, but my car was doing exactly what yours was so I'm going to cross my fingers
sameeeeeeee
I had a misfire , using the remote start. But using regular key ignition it won't misfire, any idea?
That makes no sense
I took it to the dealer and it was a bad injector bank
$2,000 for timing chains??? That’s a bargain!!!
Please hit me up I got some questions mine is doing the same thing
What is the clicking noise while the engine is running?
That's the fuel injectors.
The high pressure fuel pump makes a lot of ticking noises too. It is under a lot of stress as the pressures are super high now. They all do that.

Looks like your #5 coil pack is missing.
Lol

It may be a converter issue they are notorious for clogging
