Thank you for posting this! I found this video very helpful in a lot of ways. Ive never attempted a timing chain replacement because of the fear I might get everything out of alignment so this helps but I have a question. Do I or should I drain the oil before opening up the timing chain cover and should I remove the head to check the valves for damage as well?

That's a 2 wire connector. My Kubota ZG222 mower has a 3 wire connector. What's the 3rd wire for?
@brycelarkin428511 күн бұрын
Could be to a sensor (depending on the year you have and if it has one) or could be a neutral wire but there's a number of things it could be. Refer to a manual for your machine for exact details

Trying to troubleshoot a 2012 2.4L Equinox. Wondering if it is the timing chain stretched and jumped a tooth or something else. Only codes that appear are o2 censor running lean and that appears randomly then disappears. Vehicle starts as normal but will sometimes sputter between 750-2000rpm and engine will sometimes die. Vehicle restarts without trouble. Random and unpredictable misfire occurs. Gas pedal becomes unresponsive while engine is fighting to stay running. Issue seems to lighten up and or disappear after motor has ran for 10-15 minutes. New air filter, cleaned MAF Sensor, Cleaned throttle body, cleaned PCV port in intake manifold, Intake and Exhaust camshaft solenoids replaced, plugs pulled and replaced, new O2 sensors. 95k miles on motor, and 500 miles on new oil change.

Really depends were your getting parts and what all needs to be replaced. Prices vary. Cheapest route would be replace chain and guides only, or get the master kit that has all timing components, water pump, VVT solenoids, Phasers, accessory belt and tensioner. Don't know labor cost.

If you do not get a code for this issue, and do not have a clanking sound, and the vehicle is 150,000 miles[2014 equinox ecotec] am I good to drive for now at least? I bought this thing with 140k on it, probably a dumb decision in retrospect. Have already replaced cat converter and have put a fair amount of cash into it for maintenance. It has a smog pump code on but that's it. I checked out the carfax and I am not sure if this vehicle has had a timing belt change or not. If it hasn't, then obviously it's been due but..

@hp_outdoors3 ай бұрын
There are some moving and mechanical parts inside that could have broke or failed. Turn the pump on and see if fuel pumps out on the outlet side if it doesn't something has failed inside the pump, or the inlet line from the tank is blocked, fuel filter is stopped up, or line plugged. Make sure fuel can get to the pump before replacing it.

@@hp_outdoors thank you. I’ve put the pump back on and changed the filter, pump made a pumping noise then slowed to a stop altogether but not that loud but it started and now Revs. I’ve ordered a pump as it’s not making any noise at all but still starts on the button. Tried again this morning and started straight away. I’m guessing the pump doesn’t do that much and when lines are full of diesel doesn’t need it?

@@bluedragon13063 Keep in mind that there is a kill switch circuit that makes several stops and cuts power, probably to to the pump. I Haven't traced it all the way yet but it's a good assumption.

My daughters car is a 2010 2.4 Equinox. It died on the highway. I had it towed home and took the valve cover off and the bolt that holds the intake phaser sprocketvon the cam broke. I guess i would have to remove the cam and takevit somewherevto have the bolt removed...i did notice the sensors had heavy crud on the screen. Did that cause this? Is it worth fixing or should i junk it? Thank you for you video. It helped me a lot.
@hp_outdoors4 ай бұрын
You could try drilling with a left hand bit in the center of the bolt and use an ease out, if you can get to it with a drill. If the threads weren't damaged when the bolt came loose or broke, the rest of the bolt should unscrew out. If the threads were damaged and the ease out won't get it, then the cam will have to be removed, and taken somewhere to be repaired. Could get a new or used cam. Could also get a good salvage motor and take parts from it and use on your current one. Have to pull the timing cover to see what's all damaged down in there and see if there was any valve to piston contact to know if it's worth fixing.

You don't have to. But if one of the guides is cracked & wore, or the tensioner is not doing its job it may cause a problem. Balance chain also turns the water pump if something goes wrong it will run hot.

If that doesn't do the trick, check for obstructions in the fuel pickup tube in the fuel tank and in the fuel line from the pickup tube to the first fuel filter. Despite being careful to keep debris out of the tank, I found a "glob of goo" in the fuel pickup tube.

Been there also. Think most of the stuff that gets in the first filter is from residue that's stuck or has built up in the bottom of the tank over the years.

In a equinox its no problem. This one was done sitting on the ground with the front passenger side tire & wheel removed. Place 2 jack stands under the front frame to support it. I put a jack (lay a block of wood on top of the jack) under the motor to support it, also to move it up and down a little to remove the motor mounts and bolts that are in the way of the timing cover.

Put a piece of plywood or block of wood on the jack and support the engine under the cast oil pan. Mostly just supporting or moving the motor a little so you can get the weight off the motor mount on the passenger fender. There are 2-3 other motor mounts supporting the engine/trans still attached.

@hp_outdoors4 ай бұрын
Yes, its hooked to the trailer strap rings on the transom. The rope floats that we use, I also pull the rope tight before we take off to make sure it's clear of the prop and no tangles in it. Never had one get in the prop. They make a braided cable that goes from transom hook to-transom hook to center the rope behind the motor when towing. I've seen bent cav plates and dinged props if that cable gets in the prop though.
