No that's not correct..smh...gm techs..

 

Prepare the tensioner for reinstalling as shown below. You do not need the j tools for this. I use a couple of small crescent wrenches.

 

HELL YEAH! Got my car started today and drove it! It runs whole lot better with Equinox 2.4 intake camshaft with upgrade fuel lobe!

 

Congrats! Here's hoping your problems are solved!

 

DAMN STR8! Only thing check engine light is on is my camshaft position sensors and crank position sensor. I replaced the whole sensors and it still has check engine light on. I figured my camshaft has bigger lobes and upgrade fuel lobe too. Do I need a tune for that ?

 

What's the codes specifically? I think your one tooth out of time or the reluctor wheel on the camshaft you installed is not properly placed on the cam and it'd throwing a correlation code. I need to know your codes first though.

 

It's P0016 and P0017. It start and running smoothly like it should.

 

At 1st time I timed my engine with color key on the arrow then I rotate the engine then all 3 color key moved 1 tooth ahead. I swear they are all line up but only all 3 color key is 1 tooth ahead. But when I was rotating the engine and pistion gear were at 12 o clock perfectly and 2 cams were pointed like it should. Just the chain that is moved 1 ahead but they are lined up. I started my car so far like 15 times and drove it, feels perfect. No jerking or anything...

 

If something's one tooth out it will run fine but throw codes. My best guess based on the codes your exhaust cam is one tooth out.

Did you rotate the motor until the marks lined up 100% like I said to do?

 

Yep! I kept doing it 4 times and they all lined up exactly the same thing before I put everything back together.

 

They do line up but the arrow are not on the color key while rotating my engine 4 times. I read here saying when I line up the engine once then the arrow will not touch color key back for the 24th times.

 

Like the picture I posted in 1st page all 3 do line up but all 3 color key move 1 tooth ahead.

 

What's your text # ? PM me your text # and I'll show you the video how my car runs.

 

Took a video.

 

As omiotek said, the car will seem to run fine but these car are very picky as to the timing, they will throw a code being half tooth off. You do not have the car timed right is the only thing I can think. Also it will jump timing very easily just by rolling the motor over so you have to be careful there also. Best thing to do is just put a tensioner in the damn thing that is already been released. I did this on all my cars. John Powell says to do it this way. the exhaust cam is the most likely one to skip time as well.

 

Tensioner is already released when I put them in before I rotate the engine.

 

I did talked with my tuner yesterday and send him a video. He said that my car seems running fine and it would be throwing code cause of Equinox 2.4 cam with upgrade fuel lobe.

 

Sensor b is the exhaust side not the intake side.

I told you before to rotate the motor around until the colored links line back up to make sure your 100% in time. You clearly didn't do it and now you need to verify the timing dude. Your exhaust cam is probably one tooth out would be my guess. So yank the valve cover and rotate the motor around and make sure your colored links line up. Who's your tuner?

I apologize for this but I'm not passing my number to anyone anymore on this forum unless I personally know them. The 1am 2am phone calls to fix someone's broken car because they messed it up when I'm asleep is getting old. This is why I tell people to seek professional help when unsure but people don't listen and it costs more in the long run.

Sorry of I sound harsh

 

Ok, I will have to do this again to rotate it until it's in time. You're not being harsh and that's understandable, no problems!

 

Ok, I pulled off my valve cover and I rotate the engine to check my timing. I rotated like 5 times and it still came back like this.

 

Yep! It's my crank has jumped.

 

I'm really frustrated right now...I lined the color keys back on the arrow then rotate it then the color keys will not go back to the arrow where it's pointed to. It kept moved 3 key ahead! I had to start over again n again...Still does the same thing!

 

Here it is...Lined this bitch up 3 times and still move 3 teeth ahead! ARGH!



I'm really frustrated as FWAK...I think I must be missing something here...

 

Damn dude. I wonder why its giving you so much trouble.

 

Hopefully you know there is a timing mark underneath a shim on the crank sprocket.
