Thank you so much for posting this simple little fix. I feel like a weight has been lifted knowing this is something I can fix myself. Thank you very much sir.

I paid about $300 a year ago to get both solenoids replaced on my son's 2013 Malibu with the 2.5L engine. After watching your video, I'm sure I could have replaced them myself. Thank you for your clear video instructions.

My 2015 Malibu is throwing this code. It runs ok when first started and at higher speed, but after driving for like 15 minutes when you slow down it bucks and coughs sometimes stalling. Could this be what is wrong. What are the normal observed symptoms of a vehicle with a bad VCT solenoid.

I checked the ohms and my old one was 11.55 and the new one was 6.54.

My new one ohmed out at 6.0 is that good?
@k.orourke85172 жыл бұрын
I'm getting codes P0010 and P0010P. I measured my existing intake VVT solenoid and got a reading of 14.1 ohms, just above the range of 4-12 ohms mentioned in the video but not in the megaohm range like the bad one in the video. Is a reading of 14.1 ohms high enough to indicate that the intake VVT needs to be replaced? I've also seen other KZfaq videos that suggest cleaning the screens and internal portion behind the screens with CCR Mass Airflow Sensor first before buying new solenoids.
