Chevy Malibu 2.4 : P0016 P0017 The Diagnosis

In this video I have a look at a 2012 Chevrolet Malibu with the 2.4 ecotech fresh from the auction. The check engine light is on with the infamous P0016 and P0017 codes. 90% of shops will just slam a timing set in it, but how do you 100% know what it needs? Could it be a slipped reluctor ring on the cam? It only takes a few minutes to bee 100% Remember, TEST DON'T GUESS! -Enjoy!

Hello - got code of p0016 on my 2.0 Ecotec turbo engine so just the intake camshaft timing off with respect to crank shaft. Not getting code p0017 which would be the exhaust camshaft off too. So thinking then not timing chain problem say jumped as would get p0017 too. Replaced both camshaft actuators and still problem of rough engine and cel still showing just p0016. So could be the reluctor on intake camshaft or maybe the intake camshaft timing sensor - u think one of these most probably? Thanks for any ideas.

@DevJB Жыл бұрын

If there is top end rattle noise, it's probably the chain guides, chain and intake cam phaser gear is sloppy or there is an issue with the primary tensioner not getting enough pressure from oil galley. Clog, or bad oil, or front guide rattled and broke. Could be reluctor ring, typically is the intake phaser and front primary guide in these ecotec's.. Which if the front guide breaks, the oil pan and sump need cleaned out, along with oil galleys through entire engine or there will be micro-plastic getting into the hydraulic lash adjusters, phasers and tensioners in return causing slack's and front guide rattle\failure.

Excellent! Diagnostic skills deserving of a brain surgeon. I salute you for working for an owner who wants to do his own grunt work. Most shops want the customer to commit to have the work done or they will not share any diagnostic data. Of course, some of those shops are guessing and don't have the skills you have. Of course in the end the engine has to come down at least as to the timing "drive" gear level, which on these transverse engine layouts is a nightmare. Thanks for a great, informative video!

Hey Eric, as usual I always enjoy your videos. One tip I want to share to you and everybody else is with the tech 2 cam data. This has worked on multiple impalas with me, if you have a timing code. Clear the code just like you did but DONT start the engine yet, pull up your cam data first then start and run the engine. Your desired and actual cam positions PIDS will display for a very brief moment (3-4 seconds maybe)until the codes trip again and then it will all defaults to 0 just like in the video. I’ve seen this fooled many many people

You are getting spectacular at these diagnostic presentations! My bet is that only 15% of domestic auto mechanics in the USA use a scope in their diagnostics. The Pico compression analysis was very interesting. Confirmed advanced timing as the Exhaust valve opened before 180 degrees, in your diagram at 25:12, thus drawing a vacuum in the cylinder on the piston down stroke and the exhaust valve closed before 360 degrees, in your diagram at 25:12, which built up pressure in the cylinder before the intake valve opened at 360 degrees for the down stroke of the piston. Neat stuff! (I am not a mechanic).

If you were a mechanic you would understand why we don't spend what little precious time we have to use a scope and be 110% sure of our diagnosis every time. It's pull in the car, find the problem as fast as you can, pull it out, on to the next one. Otherwise you will go home poor.

Good stuff man! Boy does in-cylinder pressure testing make a compression gauge look dated! Amazing the things you can see in there. Never used one in person, but learning from all you guys out in KZfaqLand - I did notice the pressure where there should have been vacuum, when the piston was on its way to BDC. A window into the engine! Great to be able to learn these things before I even own one. Wish the auto industry would use Apple products instead of buggy, glitchy Microsoft products. Can't download the PICO software on the iMac ... 😞 I've been sold on a scope for a long time now .. but then I get into these occasional dry spells where I get no drivability jobs coming in (like now), and then I continue putting it off. I'll get one eventually. I can justify the expense just having it for my own vehicles. Same with the J-box. Just pains me that I'll have to buy another PC to make it all happen. Windows drives me nuts! I seem to spend more time fixing its problems than I do benefiting from its use. I actually have no paying work today. Have 3 lawn tractor jobs I can't get to, thanks to the broken truck. Going to finish working on getting the Viair air compressor system leak free in preparation for the OX Locker. Fixed a bunch of leaks yesterday that I've been meaning to get to for 4 years now. Now to get out there and see what the pressure is after 17 hours - hoping it's the same as when I left it. Maybe I'll pull the axles today and install the new seals, and also install a couple motion lights on the shop that I've been meaning to get to for the past year. :)

Excellent video, Eric!

In my experience with these Ecotec engines a P0016 indicated the timing chain has skipped a tooth, mostly due to the front guide upper bolt breaking and the guide getting chewed up.

I really like these videos. I've done so many 2.4 chains i can do them in my sleep. I really hope you get a GM 3.6 with a spun reluctor wheel on the crankshaft only for the video!

How much does a chain job for a 2.4 cost? Does a CEL always indicate a faulty chain?
