Timing chain

Asked by Snurks20 Mar 25, 2019 at 10:03 PM about the 2012 Chevrolet Equinox 1LT AWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My girlfriend has a 2012 2.4 equinox let just say
what a pos. Anyway she was having a problem
that started with timing chain making noise on the
first start, to the car stalling out and pissing out oil.
Had the car towed back to the house found that
the timing tensioner came loose and that’s where
the oil was coming from. It jumped time so I
ordered the timing kits and replaced it. The car
runs absolutely perfect but the check engine light
is on for p0016/p0017 the correlation code. I
replaced both solenoids and it did absolutely
nothing. I don’t think it’s out of time what else
could it be! Help!

If you messed with the timing chain and your setting correlation codes on both camshafts the timings off. Even a small amount Theres no other explanation
