Somone told me its pretty easy to get the P0017 code off,,, This is what he told me

all you have to do is put the number 1 piston at top dead center than take the sensor and houseing out and remove the sensor from the housing than line the timing marks on the sensor houseing up (the little tit that goes in the cam and a line on the houseing)then stick your finger in the sensor hole there should be a notch there keep you finger in it so it cant move then reinstall the sensor houseing then reinstall the sensor and thats it

Do you have to remove the vavle cover? and where is the sensor at?

 

this is not something you want to mess with if you're not sure what you're doing. and yes, you would have to take off the valve cover.

 

you put number 4 at tdc. line up the mark on the key, and the casting mark on the housing.

 

I thought number 1 and 4 was at top and 2 and 3 were down

 

thay are and what i told you is what to do and you do not have to take off the valve cover and i also told you to get some one to help you or go buy the book on it

 

ok man. one question.. since i heard your supposed to take off the vavle cover which i know thats not true. how do you get #4 tdc? and oh yeah i found the sensor.. im getting close i got the sensor out now but i just dont understand how to get #4 tdc without removing the vavle cover... i have one of my friends coming by tomorrow afternoon that works at chevy to help me but i want to have it done tomorrow in the morning

 

tdc isnt just the piston all the way up, its also on the compression stroke with both valves closed, while #4 is on compression, # 1 is probably on exhaust stoke with the valve open.

 

just wait untill your friend gets there to help you i could show you if i was there but doing it likes this you will probley mess it up and i dont want to be the cause of it

do you mean all 4 valves or both intake valves or both exhaust valves

 

did you get it fixed?

 

all 4

 

No the dude couldnt make it to my house. so i screwed

 

your not screwed if you can come up here or if you can wait untill the weekend i will help you

 

alright ill wait im just going to get tuned not this wednesday next wednesday and i want it fix before i get tuned

 

if you can make it up here i can do it after work i might have to work on my own car this weekend but also if you can make it up here on the weekend i will fix it for you pm me your number and i will call you from work tomorrow
