2014 Impala P16CF Intake Rocker Arm Solenoid valve #2 control circuit 

This worked on my 2015 Malibu! Thanks so much...everything under the hood looks the same and your video explained everything. My husband and I were able to do this and we are by no means mechanics. We had the code P16d0 Rocker Arm (1) stuck off. When we removed the rocker arm the pins were barely hanging in there...guess that's what the prob was. The check engine light went off after clearing the code and has not came back on...even runs better. We had been to 3 mechanics and none could help; they didn't even know how to fix it but doing research and watching your video saved us time and money. Chevy dealership didn't know and sent us to someone that didn't know then we found someone local but he wanted to do all kinds of repairs but still no guarantee that would fix it (would cost $1400). We found the part at Oreilly's for about $135. Thanks again!

Was able to find the part at the local Oriellys for a 2014 Impala. It was hard to find. Followed instructions of this video to replace the part. The trouble codes are gone p2646,p2645 now. Thank you for posting!

Thanks for this wonderfully informative video. Like! Like! Like! My 2014 Impala just threw the P16CF code at a little over 40,000 miles, and your video steered me in the right direction to find the cause. I discovered the Chevrolet N192289160 Special Coverage Adjustment to address this issue (they actually sent me a letter about a year ago, but I had forgotten about it), and luckily the dealer fixed it at no charge. In my case, the rocker arm oil control valve had the "missing components" you are to check for, so the dealer had to not only replace it, but also take the extra steps of ordering and installing a replacement cam cover and two solenoid valves. "Cam cover" is a deceptively simple sounding part - this thing is an intricately molded aluminum part that looks much like the old cast iron intake manifolds of the 1970's. Unfortunately it has "Made in China" etched in big letters right on top. All was fine until about 2 days after I got the car back, at which time it started making a noticeable vibration noise while idling in gear. I noticed pretty severe vibration on the intake plenum on top of the engine (what GM strangely calls an "outlet duct"). Again I consulted your video, thinking the technician may have left off the grommets, but I took it apart, and the grommets were there. After putting it back together, vibrating noise still there, so this time I removed the engine cover. I didn't find anything amiss, but the vibration noise is gone after re-installing the engine cover - we'll see if it holds. One last thing: I'm amazed at your good humor while performing this job, even after dropping the screw into the engine compartment. That would have put me over the edge with a stream of profanities -- not sure how you do it 😊. Thanks again for the video!

Saved $1000 with this video.

Had this changed at dealership today under warranty. For some reason they changed the whole valve cover. Looks like the two actuators are new too.

Great video, Thanks for keeping it clear and concise!

Will this code cause your car to shut off after driving a while When coming to a complete stop ?because I have this code and a crankshaft sensor code

Excellent video. Thank you very much.

As of a few weeks ago this part has become a recall. Contact your local dealer. If you already replaced it, they should refund you

Oh, just heard your comment about the rocker cover. Maybe the thing fell apart.

I had my check engine light on I’ve been looking for this part for maybe little over 6 months I finally gave up car runs fine an maybe one day it will be in stock again

Nice! Tons of great info!! Great video! And thank you for exercising your 2nd Amendment right!

I have a Chevy Impala with a code p16do. Does this mean it could be an intake valve, exhaust valve, oil control valve, camshaft solenoid, or rocker arm solenoid. Where would you start?

Your video saved me an expensive trip to the dealer! Thanks! btw.......(the OB2 scan read: P16CF), dealer had the part $112 in stock & said that GM had sent them a large volume order of these which he calls the jet pack. Maybe this is a defective part that should be recalled?

Perfect video

Thanks that was excellent video

Hey what did you have the torque set too?

Thanks for sharing!

How hard is the rocker cover fix if one of those little dials is missing from the component?

Exactly what code was this part throwing ? because I'm trying to see is it the same code mines throwing

Did it come with a gasket whats that black thing my new one is just the unit

I recently had to change this part on my 2014. I truly do t know if the two little pieces that you mentioned possibly being missing and possibly lodged I rocked arm cover Is there a way I would know this had happened? Im asking because I had to replace the same part in just one month Can you please tell me what I would “look” for if this was the case and the little pieces had come out? It is way beyond looking at the first part that was changed. That went in the trash over a month ago Would there be any telltale signs that this is what might have happened? They were present when The second part was taken out. Could this cause the part to fail again after such a short time? I had no issues at all after it was changed the first time

Well, in case you all can't find it. Amazon has it for about 110 plus tax. Item # 916806. I just replaced the piece on my car and now I can remote start it again. Took about 30 mins.

Thanks for the video. I had the same code, same car, replaced the part, code came back within 2 minutes of driving the car. Any ideas?

FYI Just got a recall notification on this issue. Contact the dealerships!

Did you have to disconnect the battery at all before removing the intake cover? I’m trying to clean my 2014 Chevy Malibu throttle body

This is on the 2.5L motor right? The 4 cylinder

Can that cause a no start if its bad??

I'm getting oil leaking from what appears to be this part. It's coming from the rear topside of the engine. I've had a very very slow leak somewhere and I only realized I had an oil leak after smelling burnt oil that was ending up on my exhaust system. Oil is coating everything on the back of the engine to the very bottom of the oil pan. It appears that the oil is coming from this part or somewhere very close to it. I replaced the PCV valves and hose and it didn't fix it. Is oil leaking a common issue for this?

Where did you find it? Everywhere I looked is on back order

"None and I mean none of the parts stores can get this part" yet @6:28 the box the new part was in says NAPA on it. Lol!!

What were the physical symptoms other than the check engine light?

Who much was the part?

Any advice on how to find this part? I'm looking for it all over the web and cannot come across one.

How do I get my light off afterwards

I Have A 2014 Malibu 2.5 LTZ Same Problem Got the part onLine At GM Part Direct GM PArt Number Is 19419980 Gasket Number Is 12634467.Thanks that was excellent video

What's the part number? I'm trying to find it or a third party model

Did this fix the issue? I have two codes. P16d0 and p16cf. Can you help me please?

I paid 45 dollars for mine
