Replacement of the Magnetic solenoid actuator on a 2007 GMC 6.2l V8 with Variable Valve Timing (VVT) along with Camshaft position sensor. FYI reports of cam valve bolt NEEDS to be replaced if removed. TTY bolt.

I just did this earlier today and it wasn't easy but I was able to get the sensor out without destroying it. I sprayed carb cleaner on it through the vvt actuator solenoid hole then worked out back and forth until it was out Far enough to clamp needle nose vice grips on it behind the wing directly on the main body of the sensor and turned it back and forth and pulled it outward at the same time. Hopefully this helps someone else. Kudos

Remember boys and girls *NEVER* touch the throttle plate !! you will damage it and have to pay a LOT OF MONEY TO FIX IT! yes it's fun to play with flapper things but do it to something else... Also to save time replace the water pump and belt because you all ready got everything off IT WILL save you time in the end and money on the coolant. also check and make sure the pulleys are good and not leaking grease or has oil residue while everything is off

I have an 07 escalade esv with the cam actuator code. When removing the actuator solenoid that you took out & cleaned, did you have to turn the harmonic balancer or set the timing or were you just able to remove the actuator?

Hey David, can a faulty magnetic solenoid actuator interfere with the camshaft position sensor and cause the vehicle to not start? Just wondering because I had to replace my camshaft sensor while doing a timing cover gasket and oil pan gasket replacement. The old sensor ended up getting broken when I was trying to remove it. I replaced it but my truck will not start now. It was starting before I change out the gaskets and sensor. I have a 6.2 2008 Yukon Denali XL.

Question, I just replaced everything in the video. The only difference is that I started with prying the sensor out as i was prying, a magnet piece came out from inside the engine thought nothing of it. Also I did not hold the engine in place as I tightened the vvt solenoid. Put everything back together new cam sensor light came on. Mechanic says the sensor is working. Im thinking the camshaft postion actuator was damaged. The vehicle runs ok I can hear a new ticking sound and gas mileage sucks. Anyone have any idea what could be wrong before I take everything apart again?

That job can definitely go sideways. I rebuild these for a living and have seen a bad VVT solenoid in the shop have to come out. It's possible that the cam phaser can get damaged while doing this which would require removal of the phaser. All the LS engines run the same parts from 4.8 to the 6.2.

@paulmckinzie81326 жыл бұрын
Hey David, got a couple of questions. I expect the cam bolt/valve is tight and will be tough to break loose. How'd you keep the engine from turning? Did you just use another breaker bar on the harmonic balance bolt for back pressure? I know the bolt/valve is actually the bolt that holds the whole vvt sprocket assembly on the end of the cam. I'm assuming all that stayed in place for you while you had the valve out? Just worried when I pull the valve out the sprocket assembly will come off the end of the cam and I'll end up pulling the whole front cover off. When you tightened it, did you go 48 ft. lbs. and then 90 degrees? And again, was it a problem keeping the engine from turning or holding it in place while tightening?I liked the video. So far it's the only one I've found for this particular job.Thanks - Paul

is the check engine light on? if so you can google on how to check engine codes for your specific vehicle. if not and you are banging on the crank and it helps, in my opinion is that the crankshaft position sensor or cam position.

So how is the variable valve timming does not work,engine lose power and a traction control light on and check? so the timing variables are not the cause,
