I have a P0010 code which states that it’s a camshaft position sensor actuator bank 1, would this be the sensor itself or should I replace the solenoids? Are there separate censors for the exhaust and intake ? Or does the same censor govern both solenoids?

The screws to hold down the intake

I tried to use on a 2012 Chevy Malibu I got the whole process done but I broke the screw how can I fix it

Most important tip for this is to disconnect the battery from the terminals completely, or after your done changing your car computer will need to be reprogrammed to start up, you will not be able to get your car started for anything with those codes in the system cost me a big expense

Hey I successfully followed your tutorial on my 08 Malibu . But when I started driving , it was still stalling and the engine light was still on . Also said service esc after so do I need to go to O’Reilly and have them reset my codes or what should I do ? It was driving the same but maybe a little more off .

What kind of grease do you put on it so it goes down ? Please help .

Where are these solenoids located on a Chevy Impala 3.5L? No one does a video on this car!

My Malibu has 235K miles and I got the same code as everyone else. I followed your video step by step and my car is running so smooth. Thank you brother for sharing. I feel I can drive my Malibu for another 10 years.- take that Toyota!

Thanks for simplifying the removal as well as the installation process. A job well done!!!

Thank You for this very detailed video. You saved me Hundreds of dollars from the rip off dealership. It didn’t take hardly anytime at all to replace both solenoids after watching your excellent video. Second best part, no more engine light. Thank You both so much!

I just performed this repair and now have a pretty good oil leak onto the motor.....what did I do wrong?

Is intake air vent flap door same as throttle body at the end of intake hose you were pulling open, I am told by two trust worthy gents, one provincial seniors mechanic Mgr at the emission test head office on phone (2) a guy helped me with boosting who had same problem as I have w his Ford.. said he open the intake hose to reach the intake flap to spray clean it & his sputtering stopped. My 04 2.2l Malibu sputters every few months for few days and goes away for 2-3-6 months to start again as it did last week.This infrequent sputtering started about 3-4 years back.at ~ 110k km(68k miles) now I've 175k~110k miles, 04 Malibu intake hose come from Air filter cover to front of engine just below oil cap, also, 04 doesn't have top overall cover as yours, but underneath the cover engine looks the same. Any idea where will I find the intake air valve door to see if its sticking occasionally due to buildups & to spray clean it (with what spray? too plz) any help/ thoughts appreciated, Sam

Very detailed an straight to the point, because of this video I decided to do this myself. The dealer wanted to charge me $600 lol. I watched your video twice an was ready to go, took me a little over a hour but that was only because I decided to clean up the engine a little an replace the plastic covering over the wires near the engine, they were very brittle an breaking off. I'll see after driving this a 100 miles or so if it worked, either way thanks a lot for the tutorial.

Would those being bad cause a crank no start?

Gonna cry? Piss your pants?

Wooowwwww it’s crazy how I used to go to that school

Great detail in your video, everything covered from top to bottom, thanks.

You forgot to install the grey safety lock tabs on the electric connections

Thank you sir for sharing this great How To video.. It is highly appreciated. So i forgot to remove the oil cap while i was taking off the engine cover, and walaaa, the oil cap snapped on me. I also broke one of the standoffs holding the engine cover. Anyways no big deal, at the end, I got the job done. My advice to anyone carrying out this job is to be very careful while removing the engine cover.

clean talk and clean car ... what else you need ..

I have a 2014 Chevy Malibu ecotech engine. getting a p0013 and p0010 code. Engine light is on. Does this video apply to these codes? Thnx for any help

omg thank you so much lol

I own a 2009 chevy malibu with a 2.4L ecotech, and I curse every time I have to remove and reinstall that stupid engine cover.

does a 2010 chevy malibu 2.4 have a pcv valve cause i cant find any auto store that has it??

what I love about your video is that you actually take the time and walk through the whole process step by step I know that myself and others really appreciate that kind of effort thank you

What were the symptoms for this work on the 2.4

Does this have anything to do with the service esc light coming on and off?

I followed this video exact and now when I start my car it makes noise ..like high throttle or something

Hey thanks for the video George. I got a 2010 Malibu with the 2.4 engine and a p0010 code. I followed your instructions to replace the intake cam valve. It went smoothly and now the engine light is off. Got the part from Amazon for 32 dollars shipped so it wasn't too bad. I did put grease on the throttle body rubber grommet and it went down ok.

I was also around 80,000 Miles on a 2012 Chevy Malibu.

Awesome video. Just replaced mine and it runs so much smoother and no more engine light. Thanks a million.

I replaced the intake solenoid on my 2012 Malibu, but it does not start. The crank does not turn I guess, well no start. Any ideas? I'll hear is a clicking sound

Thank you so much for this video. You saved me over $500. Dealership repair prices are outrageous. Me and my dad did this in less than an hour. Car is running a lot better and no more check engine light. 😊

Great video thanks

What problems do you have if intake solenoid actuator is stuck? After replacing what difference will there be?

It was right around 80,000 miles.

How many miles did you have at that time ? The throttle looks clean mines is kinda blackish around the inside

Got the solenoids from local GM parts department and the part numbers when I did the repair were 12655421 and 12655420.

Where did you get the solenoids from ? Can you tell me brand and code number
