Thank you for this video! I was able to easily replace this part. First had a p0019 code for a while but no symptoms then got the p0024 code with it and found your video when researching. Legit woulda only took me 15 minutes if the sensor didn't wanna be a pain getting out lol. Also as of now the part number has changed from the 12687167 to 12707054 for the Chevy Colorado 2018 just an fyi for anyone searching as of 2023 😊

It’s amazing to me that everyone I know myself included has had this exact same solenoid go out and there wasn’t a recall for it. Also it’s incredible to me how hard it was for me to get the replacement solenoid

I did this in my yard on Sunday afternoon. Watching your video on my phone. I had a real heck of a time pulling the VVT out….. snug. Total time was 1 hour (leisurely) from start to clean up and engine crank. Local shop wanted $600 plus parts … thief’s. Thanks for your help.

My 2021 ZR2 Bison threw the P0014 code travel vlogging in Maine and I found this video! Well done and very easy to follow! Thanks for taking the time to create this!

Very nice step-by-step instructions for taking care of this problem. Mine started at about 98K miles.

Great video. I just had this happen to my 2018 with only 34000 miles. Dealership said I was still covered under power train for a few more months. But good to know it’s something I can do myself if this happens again. 👍🏼

Was able to get this done thanks to your help! Pulling the solenoid out was no joke though….mine seemed stuck and when it finally came up my hand flew up and my finger got cut on something lol. Anyway all good and done very quickly thanks to your help!

2019 Colorado 70,000 miles October 2023. after 2 days calling 23 GM dealers in south Florida I was able to find 1 solenoid for bank 1 exhaust. thank`s for the great video. time to replace it.

I have the same truck, same miles and this popped up on me. This has to be one of the best how to video's I've ever watched. Thanks for posting!

Dude! Thank you so much! This is exactly the kind of information I was looking for!

I almost made it to 80,000 miles before mine started giving me problems. Easy repair following your directions. Thanks!

Thanks so much, my Colorado just threw a P0014 code for the bank 1 Camshaft position actuator exhaust. Great Video, very helpful!

Thanks for the step by step Saved me $100’s I’m sure. Had the exact solenoid go out and the exact same issues with finding the part for my 2020 Colorado. Easy do it your self repair. The clips are the toughest part of the job.

TQ for the effort making this video, and one hand operation is very impressive 👍👍👍👍

thanks dude, i bought a chevy colorado 18 with roughly 50,000 miles. your video help me to solve this issue P0024, sorry by my bad english, regards from Cancún México.

Thanks,Justin I just changed all 4 on my canyon 2017 with 46500 miles after watching your video.

Man this video was so helpful. Went from stressing about to ordering the part tomorrow

Thanks man I almost closed the video before you mentioned this is a wear and tear item not covered under warranty. Rock Auto had ONE left in stock and everywhere else was tapped haha

Good job on the video. Keeping the oil changed in the LGZ is important.

Excellent video. Made the repair so easy. Thanks for saving me some bank.

Thank you and great work on the video.

Thanks this is really informative greatly appreciated 👍

I must have bought a unicorn Colorado! My '19 didn't go through the "shudder," hasn't had any issues at all, yet... It just turned 131k miles. I did have the fan run on after shut down about a month ago, but hasn't happened since. I'm ready to replace the temp sensor and thermostat and these camshaft sensors whenever it wants.

Appreciate the video having the same issue on my truck

My 19 colorado started giving me this check engine at 30k. My ignition also won't let the key go from time to time. Camera and radio has glitches from time to time. No more chevy for me. Thanks for the video, big help

Gotta wait a couple days for the part to come in but Im pretty sure this video is fixing to save me $200 in labor costs. I gotta replace Bank 1 exhaust. Keep making videos like this. You'll make mechanics out of all of us yet. Or at the very least help save us some cash!

Very informative and helpful 👍🏻

Thanks, By far the best video I've seen on how to do this👍

Some scanners will tel which bank needs replacing i have one scanner that only cost 200$ and as you know it didnt read location but only but only that it was an exhaust manifold sensor. The 600$ scanner on the other hand with bigger screen told the location. Im guessing its just a matter of how cheap your mechanic is with these scanner. Cant trust some of these mechanics now days. So i spend on these tools for my own sanity and expenses. What i know wont get me ripped off. This video is the best!!!!!

oh, this is what i looking for thak you, you are my hero

If you're ever near Branson, MO, look me up because I owe you a beer.

How do you know wich One have to change!? I have the same code on a 2018 colorado

Thanks Owned my used truck two weeks First a thermostat now this

Great video

Great! One question how did you which of the two on the bank 2 side to replace?

Good video thank you

Thank you for this video!

Pinch an a wiggle works every-time %60 of the time. How would you put a cold air intake in that Rock?

Awesome video man! But i just wanted to ask to make sure, so your telling me i can buy 4 of the same sensors and replace them all and it be all good?

A little confusing when it says VCT Solenoid, and it keeps popping up as a VVT. I'm taking it that, that is the same. Just bought a Chevrolet Colorado and the engine light came on. Was diagnosed as the variable camshaft timing solenoid. But every time I put in VCT it kept showing me the VVT. Looks like something I can do myself. Thanks for the video.

Great video. So what happens if you don’t change it out for awhile? Just replaced mine and I still have the problem, not throwing any codes yet.

Thank you for this video. I’m about to try and change mine out. Any tips on how to tell which one is bad? I also heard in the video you came to Oklahoma. If you are in the state and want to help someone learn I’m all ears.

Good video!

Same issue with the 15 and 16 model. Can't emphasize enough. Keep and eye on oil level.

Thank you 👍🏻

So how do I know which one its for. I have a code p0019 and p0024

Awesome video! Do you happen to know the part number for the gaskets? Figured it'd be good to go ahead and replace both of them on bank 2 since I'll be replacing both solenoid actuators there.

Are you saying after the valve is replaced (no check eng light on) it takes some mileage for the code error to reappear with the check eng light and at this time clear the code and all is good?

I had two codes for my Colorado. 2019 70,000 mi One for thermostat and one for camshaft bank two exhaust. I replaced the thermostat myself and the camshaft code went away. The symptoms were rough idling and at times on really cold mornings (NY) my remote start wouldn’t work, and the fans would stay on 10 minutes after the truck was off. I’m also going to change the transmission fluid because the shifting is a little rough. But other than that it’s reliable 😂.

Was this p0024 or p0014? In the video you say p0024 and the description says p0014? You changed the solenoid valve that corresponds to the P0024, or bank 2 Exhaust.

I have a 2019 Colorado 3.6 L gas 70k and mine is showing p0021. saying intake camshaft position system performance bank 2... debating if I try to fix this on my own or not... wish me luck! thank you for the awesome video as well

Thank you for sharing this, do you have a link where we can order the parts and do they have a new number so I can order me some

Since there are 4 solenoids, how do you know which solenoid to change? Thanks for the help!

My 2018 Colorado just threw a P0014 code. How did you know which one to replace?

What code did you receive to know these needed to be replaced? Just received a p0024 on mine.

Have you had any more camshaft position codes since this video? Thanks

Thank you so much

My 2020 woth 53K on it threw P0014. Said screw it, changed all 4. Took just about an hr.

Did your check engine light go off immediately on it's own when you replaced the solenoid or did you have to erase it with a diagnostic tool?

What code did your truck give you? Was it the P0024?

So all together, the cover & all. How long did it take?

great job ...i got p0014 keeps popping

Hey are you sure all four sensors are the same ? I swear one is intake and one is exhaust solenoid ?

Awesome video. I am about to do this on my 2018 ZR2. Just to make sure I get the right part, and I'm not crazy, is the new part number #12647904? Looks like it might have changed again. This is on the GM parts shop website. Thanks for the video!

Other than added cost, are there any additional cons to replacing all four at the same time? I plan on doing this myself and since it’s a common issue, I would rather replace all of them at the same time. Would this mess with the performance at all? Any advice would be wonderful.

Did it fix the code?

Hey just wondering did this before you changed it make a loud noise on first start up?

Are all 4 the same solenoid ? I wanna replace all 4 just to be safe since I got a P0014 code and a P0024

where can i find P0014 camshaft position?

Thank you sir 🫡

Did doing this clear code p0024?

Isn’t the drivers side bank 1?

is it common to have oil leak from the top? yours was a mess. lol

I just find that the CAMSHAFT sensor in under these ones. In fact this ones you are replacing are the VVTs

where can i buy this piece at?

Knew I should have gotten a Toyota

Went to Midas and they said they couldn’t fix it since they don’t have the tools to timed it and recommended to have it done to a dealership but they’re so backlogged talking about more than 45 days just to do the diagnostic

My didn’t go bad until 122,000 miles. Guess I got lucky

This did not clear my P0345 code🤦🏾‍♂

I have a 2018 Colorado that's throwing a P10014 code for Exhaust Camshaft Position Timing Bank 1. I'm finding conflicting information on the location of the part. Below is a link to another video saying the sensors are on the back of the motor and not in the front. From this video you can see the sensors outlined here. How do I know which is actually correct? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oq6dlbSG3JPMgHU.html
