P0016, P0017, P0087 & P228D- Chevy Equinox, Captiva, Regal, & Verano StabiliTrak warning on (Part_1)

[@AnthonyKeith-xs4or]

It's the variable valve timing sensors they get stuck from dirty oil or metal shavings from the engine they should be replaced. These cars also have timing chain problems stretching due to not changing the oil properly if the chains have a lot of play change them!

Am working on the same faults on 2013 Chvy Malibu 2.5 given me same faults code , i ha changed the vvt sensor and phaser both intake and exhaust and new engine oil but still complaining p0016 -p0089 . Timing too good and all fuses good, I need your help

Same problems and codes with my 2014 Chevy Captiva LTZ 2.4. Same codes. I changed the HPFP and can tappet, fuel line, spark plugs, battery, oil change twice cuz of gas contamination, VVT solenoids 5-6 times crank sensor both cam sensors ,got better some times it acts normal and drive fine but more so comes bac and throws codes p228D p016 p089 p011 … help me please !! I’m thinking timing , another oil change, or camshaft or cam phaser ???

You are going to need timing chain, seems like chain my have stretched. Good luck

I have P0016 and P228D codes in my 2010 2.4L Chevy Equinox. Car went into reduced power mode and service stabilitrack came on as well. Car won’t crank over/start now. I’m hoping it’s not the timing chain tensioner. What are your thoughts? Thank you

Timing chain needs an attention.

[@Bigc223]

@@waqasazmat81 i live in belize. I had someone buy the equinox from IAA. When the vehicle got here i didn't use it, just took it straight to the body works guy because i wanted that to be dealt with first. When i went to pick it up the guy said i should have a mechanic look at it. So i did. He scanned it. It came up with lots of codes. I got the high pressure fuel pump changed, did and oil change. The person who drove the vehicle from the states to belize said he did a oil change but when my mechanic changed the oil here it was so dark. Ok so changed the oil, filter, pressure pump, sparks plugs and those camshaft thing. All other codes are gone except the P0016 and P0017 and both say pending. The vehicle still shakes when i gotta like slow down at a junction to wait for traffic to pass

[@TheDedicationBJJ]

Hey boss. I have those same 4 codes on my gfs 2011 gmc terrain. My understanding is that I should change the timing chain correct?

[@waqasazmat81]

Yes timing chain plays a major factor. Make sure oil level is good. Also check to see if the exhaust and the intake timing solenoids are working correctly.

[@savagewrld5454]

my gmc terrain 2011 has p0089,p228d on the panel it says "engine power is reduced" and "Service StabiliTrak" and its been stalling alot and it makes a rattling noise while idle and everytime i accelerate any idea what it could be?

[@waqasazmat81]

Sorry for the late reply, you got the timing chain done?

[@davidhall4867]

I did timing 2 times just to be sure. What could be next step ?

[@oSTYNCLSYo]

So would it be timing if you only get the p0016 code. If the timing jumped wouldn't it set both codes? I get p0016, p0089 and p228d.

[@waqasazmat81]

Its a cause an effect. fuel pump is driven by the cam. So when the timing is off you will get fuel pressure related codes.

[@oSTYNCLSYo]

@@waqasazmat81 ok, but if the timing is off wouldn't i get p0016 and p0017?

@@waqasazmat81 yes, but not p0017. Is it possible to have p0016 and it not be a timing issue?

[@ericpetteway3841]

Yes it could, change both vvt, oil change. If you’re still having that issue, it’s timing related. Ex. Broken timing guides,or stretched chain. You gotta inspect the chain to see( remove valve cover)

Alguien sabe cuantos ohms debe marcar una valvula solenoide en buen estado?

[@DollarhideLocksmith]

These are interference motors... One tooth off on timing you hit piston to valve. Vhance the intake and exhast vvt solenoids and change the oil. Problem solved. The engine reduces performance due to the intake and exhast solenoids not corresponding the same with one another as they should it cuts pressure to the high pressure fuel pump so it doesnt dump fuel into the cylinders if it cant be birned out properly..... Long story short.... Intake and exhaust vvt solenoids located on apssenger side top of valve covers followed by an oil change. If timing is truly off youd have already hit piston and would require complete top end rebuild. I know this because ive rebuilt several of these motors myself and 1 tooth different anywhere between the crank and cam has contact
