2012 Equinox PCV Fix, Cam Solenoids & Spark Plugs

Cleaning out the PCV port, changing out cam timing solenoids & new spark plugs in a 2012 Equinox with a 2.4

Thanks for the video. You should consider replacing your stock Oil cap with the vented GM FC219 oil cap...might save your main seal if you have that problem with the plugged PCV hole in the intake manifold at a future date by "moving" the weak point in the system...it does fit my 2.4L 2010 Equinox. Very low cost item. If you do a search on vented FC219 Equinox you'll see posts on it....

That is sound advise and something that I have done on my Terrain

I got the cfm oil cap.because a guy with 4 equinoxes said the rear main seal breaks when the psi levels in the engine hit +6psi. Easy quick fix

My 2011 equinox has 246K miles, still running and driving good

Hey what motor also has your timing chain been changed

[@expatinbrazil]

Awesome video! Appreciate your job . Helps a lot. I have to figure out the problems on my equinox, and searching for videos with similar symptoms. Awesome job ,man !👊👊👊

You can remove the intake without removing the fuel line or ac line. There's a very tight angle to do it. It's tough but it can be done.

Great job on the information, I’m new to fixing my own car and this video helped a lot

Probably should have given that throttle body a cleaning while you were there. These were great motors until they switched to direct injection.

Thumbs up for the music alone!

So the milky oil is the PCV problem? Also I noticed oil burning quick on these car idk why?

Great video. I have a 2014 Equinox that suddenly started cutting off at stops. Took to shop and said code was cam solenoids. My dad changed intake and exhaust solenoids and as soon as started it up i smelled antifreeze and exhaust smell in cabin. Now having sludge on dipstick some. Dont think he screwed down solenoids like you did, just pushed in. Could that be causing smell and sludge problems? Thanks so much. Car is not overheating and running smooth.

[@M.A.B.65]

what brand of solenoids did you use?

[@stephensoles3773]

If it's a recurring problem (frozen pcv) I don't understand the point of going though all that labor to clean it out and then next year,and the year after that. Seems like beating a dead horse. Why not disregard the faulty system and install an old style pcv valve in the system?

[@NOXGANG]

What code did it throw before ?

[@ronniegarcia6934]

Got a question sir can you please tell me where is the thermostat located,I start having a lot of problems on my 2012 equinox
