Thanks so much for your video. My HHR had been idling rough and eventually the check engine light came on and I got the P0014 code. I took the car in for an engine flush and oil change. Then I went home and pulled the VVT control solenoids as you showed. The exhaust solenoid had a huge flake of something stuck to its side as well as some other small particles. The intake solenoid had just smaller particles on it. I cleaned them both and reinstalled. Started the car up and cleared the code with my OBDII reader. There's no more rough idle and engine power is back to normal. After about 35 miles of driving there is no new code. There's currently about 88,000 miles on the engine. Thanks again!

I got code p0014 changed the exhaust and intake solenoids and now the car shuts off occasionally at stop lights. It’s a 2013 Chevy Malibu and no check engine light is on anymore once I changed those parts. Any help as to why it may be idling rough and shuts off now?

Rudy Castro Rough idling and the car stalls out after changing the parts!,. Ok Make sure you changed the oil and let the car idle on its own for 30 minutes or so. (Checking it occasionally) The HHR we worked on as you saw, was soo “Heavily Clogged” with deposits, grime and dirt, that we had to do 2 Full Oil Changes! (It is normal for the car to idle rough, stall out and even smoke a bit out the rear exhaust. The 1st few starts, then it should all clear it self out.). As for stalling while at a stop light, (with out a check engine light) if it continues I would still have a mechanic put a computer on it to check for a code(s). That’s not normal for such a newer car 2013.

Sounds like, You have a bad EGR valve. My cobalt started doing that, and my husband replaced that (after replacing so many other parts) and it stopped doing that. Don't know if that is your problem, but sounds like what mine did.

GONE_ZO Hi Thanks for the FeedBack! No, Oil on Spark Plugs when you take it out is not good! It means you have a gasket leak. And I should you a general way to stop the leak by replacing your gasket and grommets for a Lexus of course. Yes, It’s ok to continue to drive that way but VERY TEMPORARILY. You replace ASAP Hope my Vlog Helped you out! Please drop a LIKEE & SUBB 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Having same issue. Ours started after valve cover started leaking and filled 3 of the spark plug holes and coil packs with oil. Cleaned and checked coil packs and spark plugs. Changed valve cover gasket. Cleaned the 2 solenoids you did, reset. Ran for a week with no issues. Now dies, "reduced power" comes on. Replaced both intake and exhaust solenoids and reset the codes. Back to same, dies and reduced power. P0014 and P0013 codes. $20 for both intake and exhaust camshaft position sensors coming and going to flush the oil and use full synthetic. Maybe overkill but I'm about sick of these issues all after the valve cover leaked.

kirk j Hey Kirk thanks for the Feedback, goodness that’s awful. I feel your pain. That’s not a bad idea purchasing both the intake & exhaust camshafts position sensors ruling out is 101. We had to fully flush the oil 3 times. At that point dotting all the “i’s” & crossing the “t’s” is crucial!! No matter how stressful it gets! Check out my oily spark plugs repair we did on a Lexus. Perhaps you might pick up a extra idea from it!! kzitem.info/news/bejne/sXqr0qeZh6Knpqg let us know the turn in events if any?!, and the success on your repair. Good luck and thanks again.

Zach Sipes Thanks For Your FeedBack,.. wow doesn’t sound good,.. however unfortunately we will need your HHT in our Shop to correctly diagnose the issue and fix it for you. I don’t think you’re located in Boston Massachusetts Have you tried bringing your HHR to a local Auto repair shop?! They can diagnose it for you?!

@@CodesandCoffee unfortunately i live on north carolina. Im supposed to start a job on tuesday and with all this covid stuff going on i havent had much money to be able to take it to a shop. I took it to advanced and got the code p0014 which is how i found your video and also another code for the thermostat which. Im hoping like you said a few oil changes anf cleaning these parts and new spark plugs should help but with metal shavings there could be an even bigger issue that would cause a break down. Im thinking cleaning the solenoids should help the sensor do its job more and stop the loss of power. P.S. thanks for the quick response

Zach Sipes Oh Boy.... ok. Thanks unfortunate I’m sorry to hear. Soo about the metal shavings. In your Oil Pan there are magnets,.. that collect any and all metal debris that can cause harm your engine and that your Oil Filter can’t handle or filter out so excess gets collected on it.. (which is good). So what it sounds like -- is that your oil pan magnets are full of metal shavings And need to be cleaned off. We also dropped our oil pan and cleaned out the magnets and did a few oil changes including the oil filter! By cleaning the magnets, it will be able to do its job and all collect al the metal shavings. However remember Once it collects the debris you will have to clear it out If you’re able to do this, don’t forget to pick up Gasket Sealer. Or gasket maker for the oil pan. Extra depending how many times you will have to clear the magnets. We cleaned ours 1 time.. however it all depends on how serve the issue is!

TrulyMzSpoken Thanks For your FeedBack. Ohhh no no my Friend we Replaced The oil pressure switch/oil temperature switch. We cleaned out Both clogged intake and exhaust sensors and unfortunately we actually ended up replacing them too. We did 3 full oil changes to fully get rid of as much crud as possible. We Dropped down the oil pan and fully cleaned out the magnets in the oil pan. Full TuneUp Spark plugs. Mind you remember the amount of high or low miles on the vehicle and Health of the engine (oil changes done on time, never runner down the oil until you hear the ticking of your lifters begging for oil) also determines how aggressive you will have to be with your repair!! Thanks Again 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Hi Cristina Figueroa, Good evening. Since you went through the cleaning steps of the intake & exhaust sensors with no results, you unfortunately may have to replace them. (We ultimately had to replace them too in the past) Also depending on the amount of sediment covering the sensor/filters, 1 or 2 more FULL oil changes would be a good idea, to flush out all the sediment.
