ago I have a 2011 Terrain, DTC code p0016. Rough idling, engine power reduce, service stability . I go to start it and it just cranks, seems like the key is stuck in the cranking position. Any thoughts? Thanks, Jim..

Hello is there more than one of these the car part store said there was 2 Thanks for your help

[@abelsalaz2835]

Great camera angles , video right to the point

[@chieftoad5057]

Literally in the exact position, changed out both intake and exhaust solonoids, changed spark plugs, oil and filter, new air filter, cleaned mass sensor, cleaned the throttle control gate. Was okay for awhile until today lol saw that little asshole check engine light pop on , felt like blowing up the car lol thanks for the video and I’ll try this than I’ll update

[@Quantumfishics]

Did it workM

[@chieftoad5057]

Tried a different brand with intake and exhaust solenoids and haven’t had a problem so far. Ones I got now are from Riley’s idk if you have a store in your area.

[@Quantumfishics]

@@chieftoad5057 someone told me it might even be injectors

[@TheRealTBCPurp]

Where’s the exhaust one located? Intake one is in the video, but can’t find the exhaust one

[@chelseaandrews7744]

Thanks so much for this video. I had a P0010 code and needed to replace my camshaft sensor but no one could seem to tell me where it was. Your video was a lifesaver!

[@LehewTech]

Thanks for watching! I wish you luck in getting your car running @ 100%

Did it fix the problem ?

@@ericangeles1682 I've got the same error, wondering if this fixed it. Car will randomly shut off when idling.

Excellent video! Can’t believe I was able to do it myself! Thank you!!!!!

[@loganwork7024]

Awesome video, I definitely appreciate you labeling it as a 2.4l eco tec instead of your model car. I would recommend putting some oil around the new o ring

[@willmac4586]

THANK YOU!!!! You just saved me $150!!

[@LehewTech]

Thanks for watching bud

[@rrp1127]

Thank You. Glad i found your video that showed me the location.

[@stansmith5523]

I took the fuel line off and it made way easier to get to the bolt and sensor. Just be very careful because it is under pressure and will spray fuel if loosened quickly so go slow and put a rag under it.

[@jjginnard]

I don't know how you do it but the video quality is excellent Thank You for this.

[@cameronmorris7589]

Thanks for video I was able to find exactly where it was located and changed it out with replacement

[@vicjames2743]

Best video of this I’ve seen. Hope I can change mine as easy as you made it look.

[@cruzm1360]

Worked for gmc terrain 👍 I'm assuming gm models with 2.4

[@ryanpm6774]

Good video. IMO it was easier to take the sensor out before disconnecting it.

Hi how are you. I know is long time ago. But what code did you get if any... ? I changed the solenoid exhaust and still code p0014 coming back.

[@xJOGO313]

Thank you, I appreciate you. 🙌🏼👏🏼👍🏼🤘🏼

[@jeffkoehn1486]

Was getting the P0340 code so I changed the variable timing solenoids. Code came back so now gonna try the sensors.......

[@enaimfuentes3478]

@@jeffkoehn1486 got this same error, did it end up working do u remember?

[@evanrandall1675]

Crap I wonder if it's a different code for that sensor and the solenoids. I got p0011 bank 1 camshaft position timing advanced beyond limits for predetermined period. This printout from autozone says to buy the solenoid

[@362Ty]

Did the new solenoid fix the issue? I have the same code

[@evanrandall1675]

@ yes, sure did.

can oil come spoil out of camshaft sensors

Thank you!

[@tommy9900]

did your car surge or kinda pulsate forward wen in gear . just asking mine is doing this and it came up camshaft position sensor . i only have 45 k on the car

[@LehewTech]

I replaced this sensor because of a check engine light code P0340

Will this also work on a 2016 Buick Verano?

[@1KonArtis]

The car is the same from 2012-2017

[@juanmontez6386]

I have had replaced twice the same sensor and the check engine light is on again with the same code, any suggestions?v

[@LehewTech]

These engines have a common problem with the timing chain guides breaking and the timing sprockets seizing. Not saying that's your problem but its likely

[@Geradejuarez]

Juan Montez I just replaced the crankshaft position sensor on my Chrysler 200 bought it on autozone didn’t work they give another one and it didn’t work either then I bought on on orillys and the car its working great some time sensors comes bad

[@richarddiaz8248]

Thank you so much

[@Legendary_bullterriers]

So I changed the exhaust sensor and not the intake. But the code keeps coming up for a problem on the exhaust sensor. Did I need to change both to have the check engine light come off?

[@LehewTech]

No you probably have a timing issue

[@olveracano93]

Would this fix DTC P0011??

[@Abelcruz162]

Do you need to reset the computer after changing it??

[@LehewTech]

No

[@cobracharmer6178]

Got a call from a friend last night. Explaining the engine is running rough or stalling. Advance Auto checked the code and CP sensor comes up. She buys the sensor at local Buick dealer. $40. I go to her place and help replace sensor. 1st thing I notice is the oil and thinking is this right? More like a oil pressure sensor. Anyhow, replaced the sensor, she starts the car, light goes out. She's happy.She takes it out for a test run and the same problem returns. Any idea?

[@LehewTech]

Yeah, these Engines are notorious for breaking chain guides and sticking sprockets. Did you check the oil level?

[@cobracharmer6178]

@@LehewTech ; Thanks for the quick reply. She said the trouble started right after an oil change. I didn't change the oil. Didn't ask about how many miles on the car though.

[@willdavis6731]

I've heard that there are actually two to four camshaft position sensors. Mine is an issue with the exhaust. Is that the one displayed in this video, or is there another one?

[@KurtHite]

The one in this video is the intake cam sensor. The rear one in on the side closest to fire wall. If you jack up the care you can use extensions and a 10 mm socket

[@KurtHite]

I lost the bolt. Can you advise what size I need. 2014 Buick verano 2.4

It's a 10 mm short bolt real common

[@Parsleyherb-tw5uw]

I am having a really hard time trying to disconnect the sensor

[@ericangeles1682]

It’s showing me code p0010 the car stalls and turns off on me? It says the bank 1 intake sensor. Those will be the ones on top correct?

[@bryantguinn1687]

Its the same one in video not the ones on top but replacing them all will be good tho

[@willdavis6731]

I had that same issue when I first started driving mine. You need to change the camshaft solenoid on top. And yes, those where the first things he had mentioned in this video.

Yes it's a 10mm

I got a P0010 code but my car is a 2014 buick verano 2.4 liter...will it be in the same spot??? Please respond.

[@LehewTech]

You should change the actuator to address that code and not the sensor. The last Verano i fixed required new cam phasers and timing chain guides

[@c956rubber]

@@LehewTech would that be the 2 cylinders intake and exhaust camshaft? Also another code popped up for me and that was the P015A which was the o2 sensor.

I would change the intake camshaft solenoid, clear the codes then test drive
