2014 Chevy Equinox shaking in gear when stopped, fixed.

This problem seems to plague a lot of equinox owners. It took a while to finally find the problem as there are never any engine codes that show up.
The errors I found with the scanner initially led me down the path of fuel related problems. I replaced the high and low pressure sensors, along with the high pressure fuel pump. None of that fixed it.

I also have the bucking issue on a 2016 Equinox with 2.4L engine. I've done the following: oil change (with filter), monitoring oil and antifreeze levels, replace vvt solenoids, replace valve cover gasket, clean valve cover and pcv, replace spark plugs, replaced a broken pcv hose, clean throttle body. Issue is still happening, though the car seems to run very smooth now (except when idling after stopping.) My next step is to replace the ignition coils and clean the injectors. I'm open to other suggestions.

I took it for a test drive and still had the issue. Got engine light and P0191 code. I replaced the ignition coils and cleaned the Mass Air Flow sensor. Test drove again and still had the issue. Next step is to replace the fuel pressure sensors and if that doesn't work, replace the high pressure fuel pump.

Got an acution special with this issue it wasnt appearant on test drive but once i filld up gas notice there wasnt a cap drove it about 10 miles starter shaking at a light felt like some one was pushing the car back and forth cheked engine light come on read codes p228d and p0089 visual inspection of the high pressure fuel pump looks brand new with brand new lines as well I've had same issue on other cars same code and an engine flush and oil change fixed the issue will inspect selenoids on the equinox before thinking on camphasers or high pressure fuel pump and sensors

Update replaced vvt selenoid appears to run better no more shaking for now no more code for pressure to high at sensor 1 for now

That's good news. Did you also change the oil and filter when you changed the vvt solenoid? Those little metal particles cause so many issues.
