Thank you for sharing this important piece of knowledge. The guy at the auto mechanic's said you better fix this cause if not I may need to rebuild your motor. Plus he said the parts could cost up to $400 !!!!!!!!

Tha la for the knowledge my dude thanks to you I was able to fix my moms car this is golden

I love your video it bright clear and very helpful Thanks

Many thanks ❤

Thank you for your knowledge.

Thank you I got to do this to my 2016 Equinox

You made it look simple

Thank you!!

DID IT WORK??? DID YOU HAVE TO TO A CAM RELEARN??????DETAILS??

Apparently this is a huge issue with 12-16 Equinox. The engine burns more oil from the eco and this cause the cheap metal holding bracket to hold timing chain in place. Then you'll start experiencing symptoms on various codes that read "Camshaft, crankshaft, VVT Solenoids, Fuel pressure, low oil, catalytic converter and/ or O² sensors. I'm think check all the codes, oil level and see if that would make sense. I've seen some cases where the only issue is tightening and realigning the timing chain tension pulley and realigning the chain to arrow marks had fixed the issue without engine damage. Obviously remove any broken metal after taking the belt and gasket off.

Shortly after making this video, I ended up getting a new timing chain. 😖

I'm having to do this on my 2010 equinox.

Yes, I would say overdue oil change would be a factor.

If you change the camshaft sensor do you have to change the valve cover gaskets?

No

Only needed one part. Anyone can be a parts changer. Ridiculous!

Now l never know if the first sensor corrected the issue.
