Thank you for the short video. I had the EXACT same problem down to the model, year and mileage. A couple of tips for anybody else here: -equivalent parts (set) are 20 bucks on Amazon -use compressed air to clean the recessed area around the old parts before pulling them out...otherwise you risk getting debris inside the hole when you remove and/or insert the new one -use a vice grip to help remove the old parts

Good advice, compressed air is legit. That area seems tp collect trash. Ive replaced mine twice now. Oil change before it's due is important, as that's the cause of them getting clogged.

@@MrRealestic Agreed, check your oil before it's too late. I was going off of the electronic % oil life message as recommended by the manufacturer and it indicated 12%, so I wasn't really thinking about it. This was a mistake... I checked the oil dipstick and it was bone dry. It had been a while since I had last changed the oil but it didn't seem like it. I was shocked and embarrassed as I I'm always the first one to nag my wife about it, haha.

Thanks for the vise grip tip. I also used needle nose pliers to depress the clip on the pigtail to release it.

thanx 4 info. i only changed the exhaust one and for now at least the chk engine light is out! i had to disconnect neg. battery cable for ten minutes. if light reappears in near future i will post. in that case i might install the intake one i bought as well . neither looked terribly gummy or anything so i suppose as an experiment i could clean the orignal exhaust and reinstall to see if light returns? perhaps no point? anyway it's 10mm socket wth short extension on our 2013 verano. thanks all! you can do it also for anyone hesitant.

Shana, Google the videos on the VVT valves. There's really nothing to them, it's basically a hollow tube that oil is pumped through and measures oil pressure. They have a screen, all we need do is clean it. There are videos on this.

Wow. My internet famous video of car fixing lol. Almost 8 years or so. Glad it still helping. P.S. my original motor shattered cam shafts at 168k. Make sure you maintaince it correctly and keep an eye on oil level. Mine was using about 1 qt a week. 6500 for a new motor. I wasn't impressed lol

This is the timing not the camshafts solenoids. There are two different kinds and are located in two different areas. They are confusing to someone who is not familiar with this This is because they both have two of the same parts in the same place So the two timing solenoids are located under the cover you see here and the two camshaft solenoids are located on the right side of the engine three or four inches down I have this car and had the same problem. I changed out the camshaft solenoids first now I need to do the timing solenoids now because that didn’t fix the problem and the confusing and irritating part to the whole thing is you don’t know which ones to change because the auto parts store computer doesn’t tell you A or B Or camshaft or timing So when this happens to you just process of elimination is really all you can do.

Sorry miss wording on my comment. You have the timing camshaft solenoid and you have the camshaft position sensor that will confuse you because they don’t know which to change Position censor is what I changed first

I don't know. I'd take it somewhere ro find out what code it's throwing. I'd also check my connections and make sure the caps were snapped down tight. Past that, I'm no mechanic and don't know what else may be wrong. Google VVT valves. Lots of information out there if that's your problem.
