I've watched a few different instructional videos to replace this part and yours was the most detailed and clearly explained out of any of them.

[@tiffanymcdougal4234]

Agree

[@derrickbradford7132]

Thank you this was very detailed and easy to follow

[@CarlosDGM.]

Selenoides dirent color intake exhaust . Los selenoides vienen diferente color en donde entra el conector. Son diferentes codigos si compras el original.

[@Wolfofthenightt]

I just had the solenoids fail in my 17 equinox and your video was the first one I found. Your instructions were very helpful and I was able to get them both replaced in under an hour. Thanks!

[@368engbn]

This is the most detailed repair video I have seen. This is exactly the problem my Equinox is having. I'm still taking it to the shop because I don't own any tools and I am disabled so even a simple fix like this takes a lot out of me but at least now I will know if the garage is stiffing me or not.

[@JaboTheMechanic]

Glad it was useful to you

[@juh-ronwharry6411]

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾. My check engine light came back on AFTER I got the oil change. I was very frustrated 😞. So I researched and found out that I MAY have to charge the solenoid. Did not want to pay to have it changed when KZbin has DIY videos. So I bought the part and saw a couple videos that did not go into detail about changing it. Then I found your video. Even though it is a 10 minute video..it take me about 30 to 45 minutes because I did not want to mess up and cause more damage. After I followed your instructions and finished, I turn on my Chevy 2016 equinox and the light came back on...after waiting for about 10 minutes..turned in on again and the check engine light was OFF. 😳😁😁😁. Your video was very detailed and I want to thank you for helping me save some extra money. 👍🏾👍🏾

[@mhill8556]

Jabo, your tutorial for p0010 was spot on! You are awesome man. Thanks 👍

[@MrBigdaddylicious]

Omg thank you so much for this my equinox was stalling and I thought it was the battery or alternator I took it to auto zone for there code reader and sure enough it was exactly this and step by step instructions were spot on ..Thanks again

[@scottishjeep]

[@robertoconnor456]

Had the exact same problem with stalling on me wife's recently purchased (used) 2016 Equinox . Unfortunately I don't own a code reader, but my local auto parts dealer did and fortunately plugged the scan tool in for us. Yup, holding codes POO1O and POO11. I did your test and it is in fact the intake solenoid. I used Auto-Zone, and their part number for the 2016 Equinox with Ecotec 4 banger part from Dorman Engine Variable Timing Solenoid VVT 917-215 ($49). They didn't have it in stock so I'm hopefully going to do the repair tomorrow. great video! Thanks! -Bobby O

This is great video. My story is that I have a 2017 Equinox. It has 70,000 miles on it. Got it from my daughter in law. I know she has the oil changed properly. I have drove it 2,000 miles while owning it. Took it to breakfast one morning. It ran perfectly. When I started it to come home, it started great as always. Put it in reverse and it stalled as soon as I touched the gas peddle. I had to give it gas quickly to keep it from stalling to get it home. P0010 code. Removed the switch and cleaned it as I had seen in many videos. Put it back in and drove it many times in the next two days. Then it was stalling again. Put a new GM one in and went on vacation the next day. Back home now. Drove it 1,000 miles. No problems so far. Fixed a neighbor’s car with good results 3 years ago. Still runs great.

[@Lixin2008Du]

“Put a new GM one in”, what’s that one?

[@scottlucas6691]

Thanks -saved me $110 bucks, good job on the video

GREAT STEP BY STEP TOTORIAL VIDEO

[@JaboTheMechanic]

Thank you!

[@nicholasbillington8246]

2017 Equinox coded p0011 yesterday, getting an oil change literally right now, but also bought the OEM part off Amazon just in case. Very helpful video should I need to replace the VVT solenoid after this oil change.

[@bertbennett2719]

My wife's 2016 had this issue and the shop recommended replacing both solenoids. I'd watched a video on this so I knew what was involved. I took it to a shop because I was having health problems. They charged me $700 for replacing both solenoids! Billed for 1.5 hrs labor. RIP off, but I was stuck.

[@tssci6774]

The owner definitely waited too long, the cylinder head is fed oil through a very small restrictor. These can become clogged and cause loud tapping sound from the lifters due to oil starvation. There is a TSB on this. The oil filter was likely heavily contaminated and was by-passing, allowing unfiltered oil to reach the solenoids. These engines are notorious for fuel dilution from GDI and the high pressure fuel pump. This caused rapid viscosity breakdown and wear. Perform an oil analysis once per year and change the oil every 3k miles. I have numerous oil tests showing the oil shearing back to a 5w-20 oil or less in 2500 miles.

[@chadsheppard3576]

I’ll try this out for my equinox, looks fairly easy

[@gotwurkdubbc]

Great video should definitely change intake and exhaust vvt at the same time

[@MichaelSchmidt-jc9bg]

Very helpful. Especially removing the clips.

[@eugene1653el]

I just purchased a 2016 chevy equinox ltz awd May 27th engine light just came on 2 days ago definitely a solenoid it only has 44,000miles on it limited warranty ran out May 31 but dealership has a 6onth warranty taking it up there on August 2nd wish I could do it myself

[@yamahafatboy5657]

Thank you

[@Richard4616]

My 2017 Equinox solenoid failed at 70000 miles. Took it out and cleaned it. Put it back in and it still stalled at slow speeds. The car has the oil changed regularly. It didn’t look dirty. Put a new GM one in and ran perfectly again. I didn’t do a volt or ohm test.

[@derekbankston9305]

Great video, did the trick.

Great job, very clear thanks dude

I have a 2011 ecotec with P0011 the guy at the autoparts say camshaft sensor. Any idea...

[@JaboTheMechanic]

Did you test the solenoids

[@alucardmurciegalo]

@@JaboTheMechanic Not yet but after watch your video that's what I will do. Thanks dude. I'll let you know bro

[@JaboTheMechanic]

Ok sounds good. That will be most likely your issue. But keep me informed

[@alucardmurciegalo]

@@JaboTheMechanic I'm back with updates bro, just checked the solenoid and works so I'm going to replace the camshaft sensor and see if that's the problem. I'll let you know bro.

[@ShermanBMason]

At 7:55 what oil did you use to install that part? Thanks for the video by the way.

[@dnlmachine4287]

If the solenoid 12V/actuation tests good when cold, cycle it 30 times. Then reinstall, run the engine till hot, remove solenoid and re-test 30 times. Temperature can affect its ability to FULLY and reliably operate. See my other comment for the Service manual TSBs and procedures. Stay gold.

[@LadyMarineNY1]

Doing this tomorrow all myself fingers crossed!!

[@JaboTheMechanic]

Let me know how it goes. If you have questions feel free to ask

[@JSullivan-ml5bn]

Fresh oil change, changed intake solenoid per code p0011.. Cleared checked engine light. Still doing it and check engine light came back on. Any suggestions?

[@jakeswitzer9886]

Here’s a twist…. Getting that 010 code after changing both solenoids but still getting the infamous 301 misfire. Worth the fix on this 100k mile 2015 Equinox or trade it in?

[@rickyking-gonzalez393]

Just wondering I have the p0014 code but the car not stalling ? Could way overdue for oil change cuz it and I do have oil catch can

[@comediantankcarter]

I had my oil change then changed both solenoid and my car still jerks and stalls any suggestions

[@michaelhallman4274]

What if you change both camshaft sensors and it doesn't fit the problem

[@UngidosWorship]

Do you recommend changing both solenoids if one is bad? Thank you for the video!!!

[@JaboTheMechanic]

No just replace the one that is bad

[@UngidosWorship]

Jabo The Mechanic alright thank you brother!!

[@DannyWalker247]

My 2013 Equinox shutters when I slow from high speed but it runs good otherwise?

[@ManicMK]

The clips were the hardest thing about this job lol

[@doubleitp]

Pro tip.... always replace with OEM parts, never go aftermarket for these solenoids.

[@davidpendergast30]

Have 2013 equinox stalls and doesn't start well just after refueling (6cyl.) Cost me 700.00 $$$$ at tuffys in Florida. They installed new plastic box on underside DIDN'T HELP AT ALL. I WENT ELSEWHERE THEY PUT A NEW PURGE VALVE ON VEHICLE GUESS WHAT? ALL BETTER!!!!POOR DIAGNOSES VERY COSTLY

[@eh5079]

Thanks for helping out. Can I test out the solenoids with multimeter?

[@JaboTheMechanic]

Yes for resistant but i would recommend to test it like how i did

[@gearhead1302]

I changed the oil in my wife's equinox and then it started stalling on acceleration from a stop. I'm guessing this is the culprit.

[@ping40tx]

Is p0011 the same thing as well?

[@ericavigil1432]

Do you know why oil is shooting out of mine??

[@kylejenner4582]

Hello, thanks for the video very helpful. Now my 2012 equinox still stalls after changing the oil and both solenoids I’ve also changed the camshaft position sensor. I don’t know what else to do? Any suggestions?

[@JaboTheMechanic]

Have you changed the oil

[@lapu1602]

Check your timing. Cam and crank correlation

[@boosted2.4_sky]

3:30... the gray piece of plastic on top is a lock get that off first and then it will come off simple

[@rickywhite2256]

👍

[@musiholictara]

Sorry I am not an expert. Are you sending 12 volts to that Solenoid to achieve the click sound to verify that it is working correctly?

[@JaboTheMechanic]

Yes that is correct

[@kingdavid4u1588]

Will this cause your car to have trouble starting to where you have to hold the gas pedal all the way down? And also when it starts. The engine revs funny up and down and acts like it wants to stall out, and when driving. It doesnt want to accelerate at all and takes forever to get up to speed and still acts like it wants to stall out. Also sometimes acts like it wants to stall out going up hill. Can someone help me. I have p0010 code

[@JaboTheMechanic]

Yes this will cause that

[@Raymond1701]

So this when your car start shaking and it want to shut off

[@mayralopez1000]

On my equinox 2016 I just removed both and sprayed with carburator cleaner and install again and work again like new don’t buy new ones try that first

[@reinaldoortiz9421]

so just a quick question my 2011 chevy equinox is shutting off while at a light or drive thru and the code that is giving me is p0010 , this will fix my issue ?

[@JaboTheMechanic]

It should. Follow the instructions in the video

[@kaceycarter2972]

Why did you replace the intake solenoid (white connection cap) with an exhaust (black connection cap)

[@rfahlsing]

Different manufacturers have different colored plastic on the connectors. The inside (where the pins are) is keyed differently. On the intake it looks almost like a Chevy symbol and the exhaust side looks like a mushroom.

[@darronmorris2683]

Can you have the stalling issues at cold with out any codes showing? 2013 Equinox 129K plugs changed at 129K (second time) Mine is running rough at cold, mass cleaned at time of plugs. Still have issue of wanting to die and rough idle at cold.

[@doubleitp]

I'm a year late, but it can also be the Coil Packs. or the fuel pump.

[@sandrasauceda3122]

replaced both solenoids and the code comes back after clearing the code. Both Solenoids were tested. What else do we need to check?

[@JaboTheMechanic]

Did you change your oil and what type of oil did you use

[@ronaldpiper4812]

When I save up I will be changing the dam things. Hope this is the issue. Makes it dangerous to drive.

[@JaboTheMechanic]

Hope so too

[@pdogg1872]

Seems like an easy fix thanks for the video Jabo The Mechanic

My girlfriend's 2016 equinox is having this issue, but I can't read the codes because the obd II reader gives me a connection error. Any suggestions on what may be the cause of the connection error? TY

[@JaboTheMechanic]

You have to use a different scanner

[@salsa29erlove]

Mine has poo4 misfire also

[@crand20033]

How often do these go bad? How often do they need to be cleaned?

[@RanjeetChangkakoti]

As a practise, clean up after 100,000 or if you have engine light on . If you are replacing engine oil every 10,000 or on recommended Kms, no need to worry 👍😉

[@k.c.benner1109]

What if the clip is broke for the intake solenoid? Can I replace that?

[@JaboTheMechanic]

It will be fine. You put a tab of Silicone lightly so the connector doesn't come out

[@alancontreras8888]

Did you have to unplug the battery or can you just do it

[@JaboTheMechanic]

You don't have to unplug the battery

Dont bother buying that DORMAN part. Buy the OEM part. They are 45 bucks from GM. Dorman electrical parts are not worth the box they are packaged in.
