So I had that P0014 code since I bought the car with 108k on it.
Now it has 230K on it. I changed all the stuff related, the Cam position sensor, couple times, changed the VVT, I have a box of those, by the way.
Nothing ever changed. The SES light would go away for a few months, then come back.
So last month I had a guy pull the front off the engine. Changed the chain, guides, whole bunch of stuff. Cost a fair amount, took some time.
Got it back.
A month later, I have P0014s and eventually P0340s.
I bought a thing called BlueDriver, which I do recommend. It has live data from the ODB2.
The cylinder one advance while driving can range from -2 to 48 degrees. Maybe even farther.
So what would cause this? I changed the VVT sprocket, and everything associated with it. All new GM parts. Well, Cloyes chain kit, I think.
The problem is there all the time now, I clear the codes and in a couple hours they are back.
One thing the guy pointed out, the connectors to all the sensors are not really very tight.
Can anyone give any ideas? Does anyone have experience changing those connector pins, and maybe even some of the housings? I wish I could figure out how to order those.
