Thank you for this video. Check Engine light came on the other day and I finally got to use the FIXD plug in my wife bought me for Christmas 3 years ago. Checked through the app on my phone and it told me this was the problem and code and allowed me to reset the light. I used this video first because I didn't know if it would be difficult to get to and seeing how easy it was thanks to you, I ordered the part on Saturday and it arrived yesterday. Replaced both of them in about 15 minutes. Better than paying a dealer which would've ran around $200 for parts and labor IF it were an honest one. Wound up costing me $25 for the parts through Amazon.

Great, to the point video. Regarding the plug, mine required that I pull the valve out with the plug attached. Then, using a small screwdriver, come from underneath the plug, insert the screwdriver to depress the tab and pull the plug off. Easy peasy. Thanks for the video.

the ending of hitting that bell made my day

This was GREAT - watched it & got it done no problem. My clip didn’t pinch of easily at ALL but eventually got it off. Thanks for saving me a ton ;)

Thank you for the quick video! The solenoid on our 2016 went bad, and your video helped greatly. Swapped it out with a new one for $50. Much appreciated!

This helped. Thanks.

Thanks for being quick and to the point.

Pep Boys just quoted me $800. to change out the exhaust solenoid. Don't think so. I'll do it myself after looking at the videos. Thanks.

Great job. Easy and simple👍🏾

Thanks for sharing.

I change my oil very regularly and take of my equinox! Had to replace this 5 years ago and now I have to again!!

Good short video, thanks. Suggestion: next time turn off air compressor to avoid the background racket. Thanks.

Thank you!

Found metal shaving when I removed the gray connector one.

P0013 on my 15 equinox, dealer quoted me about 600 IF it's the solenoid(s). I think i'll gamble it's not the ECM, and this is a fairly common problem with my car and I think I'm going to try this myself!

Thanks for your beautiful video sir

awesome awesome and awesome work 👏🏿

Def subscribed, thanks man

This was super helpful. Thanks!

Not a camshaft position sensor… variable valve timing solenoid. Saved ya some time 😙

Big Ups.. and ty so much for sharing … but if somebody turn on that air compressor ? Halt. Cut. Whatever. ? Wait. Then quit. At home? light em up , most stand your ground laws are meant to prevent terrorist attacks… 😭😂😭

Why did you replace them? I'm asking cause my wife has a 15 equinox and it dies when you put it in reverse and press on the gas.

Thanks so much .. ur awesome 😎....

Do you have to disconnect the battery?

What would happen if u didn't screw the screws in? Because my old ones got rusted and broke off in the hole so I can't screw anything in. Will this cause problems?

Hi, my 2011 Equinox check engine light came on, I went to O'Reilly to read it and the code was "P0013 exhaust camshaft position actuator solenoid valve control circuit", would this be what that is? Also what should cost be to replace so 8 know if a mechanic is trying to screw me. Thanks

I just paid $450 to have this done and it looks like something I could’ve done myself 😭

I got a p0010 on my 2011. Im assuming this is what it is also? Please let me know. Thanks

My wife's 2013 equinox has the p0014 code. Pep boys wasn't real clear on what needs to be replaced, but I'm going to replace the camshafts when I get back from Texas. Does that sound right to you? Anything else I should replace?

Hi, thank you for sharing this. Will the engine checking light be gone by it self after I replace the intake one or I have to erase it using a device? Thanks!

I don’t have a light on but I took it to my shop and told them how my car had a studded stall and they said that I needed to get these replaced. They are trying to charge me 400.00 for it. But this looks easy. Should I replace if there isn’t a light on?

How do u erase the check engine light after u fix it?

I have a 2011 Chevy equinox, it has a rough idle and has been dying while stopped at stop signs/traffic lights. When I google for troubleshoot this is what it’s telling me to replace, is that correct?

do you have any suggestions if this didn't turn off the check engine light?

Do you happen to know if this setup is similar to a Chevy Captiva? I'm having a mechanic friend replace the intake camshaft for me but he asked if I could find him a diagram of where it's at first to save him some time.

So it’s the intake that needs replaced then .. ?? It’s says intake camshaft position. Over advanced with that poo11 code

Is this the same for a 2013 Chevy Equinox?

Is this the same procedure for a 2012?

Any suggestions if you happen to snap the top of the solenoid off and bottom is still in engine

How do I no which is the bad one .. engine light came on took it to auto zone they use the diagnostic machine n said the vvt was bad didn’t tell me which one .. the Chevy dealer want $380 to replace just one

Was this causing the p00013 code?

Should I replace both ..

Is this the same for a 2015 EQ

P0014 is the code I got, just came on today and I only drove about 4 extra miles and parked it, I scanned and it said the camshaft position exhaust sensor, if I change this part and gobahead and put new oil and a filter in would this fix my problem? I haven't had any issues with the car, no rough idle or loss of power, only decreased gas mileage thats all

Do you know why oil is shooting out of mine??

95% of time carb cleaner will clean those and from the color of that oil it's never been changed which clogs the screens on those actuators

Is this the problem that causes the engine to reduce power? I already bought a new throttle and a new high pressure fuel pump and still same issue. So mechanics tell me it's the timing on the SUV but my main one tells me no.

It's a pcv valve not pvc I hear it mixed up all the time lol

My clip is not pinching off easy

I have the papers it says poo11 and says intake
