P0014 chevy trail blazer 

This was very helpful! I"m not a mechanic, nor will I be doing the work on my car, but am happy to be able to understand the potential problems from my check engine light code when talking to the ones who will be doing the hard work. Thank you so much!

I have an '06 4.2L, and just had the engine replaced. It had the P0014 code when I brought it home and the engine started to lurch the next day, even though it had been running like a top. I happened to see on the paperwork from the shop that they had replaced the oil with 10w30, instead of the 5w30 it called for. I followed the advice to replace the oil and the code disappeared along with the lurching of the engine. You just never know. (Note: I had this issue about 6 months back and had also replaced the VVT solenoid, which seemed to help a little.)

Great video, helped a lot with the power steering pump being in the way for clearance. Changed out mine on an 06 envoy in about 30 mins and runs great again!

This is an awesome video! Not many people put the Bolt size and location! Thank you! Very detailed instructions

I would put couple old speaker magnet's on bottom of oil pan. My Grandpa gave my Mom's a 64 Impala station wagon, she fried the engine not checking oil. Put down the iPhone, open the hood!

I REALLY appreciate the detail and close-up photography. Plus the commentary on screen adds further information. Very nice format for this type video. Well done!

Just subscribed... this is exactly the video I needed to see... dang, all you guys really motivate me to start my RU-vid channel and keep the videos rollin... I just bought an 2007 Trailblazer LT with 154,002 miles on it and I love it... imma do all the work myself... -well most of it... anyway thanks for the vid -just what I need to do, I have the same code

So this is why my 04 Trailblazer run so good. It has 177,000 miles and I have never let it gotten lower than one quart of oil. I have gone as long as 9,000 miles without changing the oil but I used full synthetic. After buying a new 2016 F165. I plan to switch to Motorcraft synthetic blend for my next oil change.

I just subbed after watching your video.. you know what your doing and without messing people over

This video helped out a ton and literally saved me $225 plus tax just in labor

I have an 04 GMC envoy, can't find third bolt on power steering pump looked for third bolt through the pump pulley hole and it wasn't there, I know there's a third one. ( Maybe 🤔 covered in grease ). Also in my camshaft silonoid is oil. Oil residue in tail pipe some oil in third cylinder (from front of vehicle). Got a code 300 and a p0014. Gonna replace cam poison silonoid, cam shaft sensor, and map sensor. Then gotta remove all 6 coil packs( which are new) clean out cylinders, change oil filter, clean out exhaust as much as I can do. I bought it like this had check engine light on. Original code s we're cat conv. 02 sensors. Air .thanks for sharing your video👍🙏This gets fixed 🚙💨💨💨💨💨

Excellent repair video. It's my next project and you just made it a little easier for me. Gracias amigo. Vaya con dios.

Thanks for your video, it helps us a lot to learn new things.

Man, you and Chris Fix do great videos.

Wow 😳 that is crazy, if it wasn’t for the quart and a half does rod bearings would have locked right up.. nice job 👍

Great video. I'm about to replace that cam position solenoid in a 2012 Kia Sorento. Throwing that po014 code also. Hoping it clear my check engine light.

great video! thanks

Just saw your video and immediately I subscribed and liked. great job young man keep posting

This is crazy!! How did that motor even run. Ive got an 07 trailblazer ls 4.2l with 189000 miles on it and it does not want to die. Oh maybe because ive maintained the truck and crap. I love my trailblazer

Son just picked up an 02 and it has a misfire and the P0014. Looks like I'll be replacing this solenoid soon. Just changed the oil, (wasn't low or anything, but I always change oil and brakes immediately when buying used). Oil change did not clear the code, and it still has the misfire, so that will be next. Hope it will work before any internal damage can happen!

Well you have by far the cleanest accurate camera shots out of any DIY video great knowledge recommend a hard drive magnet in or at the bottom of the oil pan if they are going to kill there Blazer your AWSOME. Have to do the same to my Blazer I bought from pick n pull fully loaded one bumps and cosmetic blemishes but hey not bad for $ 1,180.00 out the door. Thank you very helpful ^~.~^

Great video man. I have an 05 trailblazer with similar issues.

Nice video, besides no oil, in my opinion the oil life indicator on GMs are allowing too much time between oil changes causing "sludge" to block the screens on the vvt solenoids. I've seen some crazy stuff pull into the garage over the years. One of the funniest was a dad that filled his daughters car tires with 150psi of air(all four) after some kids deflated them at school. Must have taken forever with the tiny emergency pump he used. LOL

1st class video!!!! great job!

Thanks man appreciate it.

Great video! For once I'm not yelling at the screen saying "EDITING PEOPLE...EDITING" or "HTFU and get to the point". One of only mechanic videos that didnt have any time wasting but also covered everything relevant. Thanks!!!

Exelente video, gracias por el aporte, entonces a un motor de estos hay que agregar 7 cuartos de aceite en cada cambio?, Gracias

I liked your video because you got visuals into the areas that needed to be seen if a person wants to do this work themselves. I have seen several others that either do not get the view in the down-and-dirty areas or just skip over, leaving a guy to guess at it as he goes.m The only thing you need to do is detail what were the wrench sizes needed for each bolt and nut removal and replace. THANX!

thanks man 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Very helpful video, thank you.

Thanks 👍🙏

When mine was bad . I had a smoke condition in crankcase and dipstick

Just picked up your awesome thank you if I have any more issues in texting your site your old school and that's what my Dad taught me

Good video 👍👍👍

Thank you

This is the most straight forward and easy to follow video I found of this issue so far. Question: I have a 05 TrailBlazer with the P0017 code which is similar. I changed the VVT and the Cam sensor..I’m worried the timing chain skipped. Is there a way to check? Also I haven’t changed the crank sensor and that’s the only other sensor I can think of. Since I bought the truck it’s had this code, they went away when I changed the Sensors. Then started to come off and on months later. Now it stalled, and once I started it, been misfiring/lose of power ever since. (And this engine doesn’t smoke or leak but every month or two it’s down at least a quart or more, sometimes 2.) Any help would be appreciated!

Great Video

Ok changed out both of the cam shaft sensor & positioner and NO SHAVINGS ! Had plenty of oil, and I got the up grade with springs too " hate the dip stick " but still have stop engine " low oil pressure" so now what. The parts didn't look that old either but not new.

perfect video.

The better trade that vehicle in ASAP!

Lol the boss call 😆 I've had several jeeps come in with low oil. Ran like total crap. Changed the oil and good to go. Nice find Jon

So I replaced that sensor in my truck. But the new sensor from autozone didnt come with those mesh filters. Did I install a faulty sensor?

In my case my transmission just started not working but has some fluid in it but the code reader saying that p0014 and other codes about the bank 01 exhaust system and crankshaft position

any thoughts on having the code p1345 ckp/cmp correlation? Literally got it after backing out the driveway from doing an oil change. 2002 trailblazer now with 201k miles

very good my brother

I had the p0014 code on my 02, changed the VVT solenoid and it still runs like crap. Did a fresh oil and filter change the same time I changed the solenoid, what else could be the issue? Any ideas? Twice while driving it has stumbled, missed or whatever you want to call it when the vvt code gets thrown and blew the PCM fuse.

What are the symptoms? Why are you checking the oil after you turn the motor over?

I knew a guy that at least twice drove cars without checking or changing the oil this they quite I dont remember how long they went but it was a kinda vrazy long time like over 50,000 i think

good vid

Yeah the video should help a lot of people...check your oil level! Jezz. Great job on the editing.

Appreciate it bro. 02 trail blazer with the code popping up. I changed the camshaft sensor but it didn’t fix anything. I’m going to check the solenoid. Then do the oil. Hopefully that will work.

Hey nice video. Other than the scan tool...What kind of electronic devise were you using on that screen to command the solenoid to come on!?

Question will a 2005 chevy trailblazer ext radiator fit a 2005 trailblazer ls?

i replaced the vvt solenoid when the p0017 code came up, it just started to idle a little rough and i was on it. after i replaced it it really started running rough, stalled and gave me 3 new codes, po300, p014,p0365. I replaced the cam shaft position sensor and that got rid of p0365, spark plugs are next. But why all of a sudden it started running real rough and showing new codes anyone know. its a 2006 chevy trailblazer 6 cylinder

And what are the functions that will acquire when the p0014 comes on

Oh... and I like the video transition (your hand pulling the next scene)!

Good evening! Excellent Video! i am from Quito - Ecuador. My Trailblazer 2004 4.2 6l, I changed engine oil and filter, the engine is repaired, i changed the VVT valve and yet i still code P0014. What can it be and waht can i do please? Thank you very much!

I have a 2004 Buick Rainer(same as the Trailblazer). Got to watch it if you take these vehicles to Jiffy Lube or some quick place. Why? The typical only put 5 quarts of oil in. The oil capacity for these are 7 quarts. Happened to my dad at the dealership he bought it from. I saw on at least 2 of his oil changes they only put in 5 quarts.

Oh I forgot to mention that I had the transmission rebuilt just after I bought the car has less than half of the warranty mileage for it check up !

The i6 motor uses 7quarts of oil if it's not reading on the dipstick you have some serious problems. If you only have a quart and a half you need a new motor.

Hello, cool video. I'm trying to pinpoint what could be wrong with 08 trailblazer 4.2 it vibrates a lot when put in drive and seems ok in park. There are no trouble codes , only stability control comes on. I'm thinking about this solenoid but what else could be the problem?

I would have cleaned the old one and put it right back in as long as the oms were good. Looks like you need to check your old little bit more often

Do I have to drain the oil before changing this part

Help ! Under the car to remove the oil pan and can't get it to drop 02 trailblazer vortex 4200 online 6 replacing the pump

Hey man. How many quarts of oil takes a trailblazer v6 ? What oil do you recommend after 200k miles?

When installing this is it recommended to get OEM cause I heard if you don’t you will need to replace them in a few months.

Mine has the same code except it has full oil but it's black as coal if I did oil change would it clean itself and make the code stop

Any help plz

How long did the engine go till failure after this? There had to be some major bearing damage after running with no pressure.

Do you guys like the i6 or the v8 better? And with opinion, which one lasts/runs longer with proper maintenance? I have an 02 with an i6 with 203K+ miles on it and I'd buy another in a heartbeat!

I replaced this months ago and now I have the same symptom, so I just took it off and looks clean but oil made it's way into the electrical connectors. Any thoughts?

Hey man,great video! I replaced my camshaft solenoid and camshaft sensor it's running rough still but now a random multiple missfire code is popping up. Any idea?

Mine shows around 11.1...what gives...is it bad? Also oil in connector...BAD? THNX

Would the code still show with a new solenoid but only 5 QT??

Dude the oil pick-up is near the bottom of the pan. If the pump was not getting oil. The engine would be locked up.

Ive had this code for a while can not pass emissions, changed valve but when I noticed that prior to owning it someone spliced the 2 wires to the valve what should a multi meter read at the plug? I have a feeling i have to current to the valve, also maybe i needed a relearn after the valve change? Cant shake this code. Thanks in advance.

Gotta love people that don't check the oil..

Fallas de ese sensor

What if my code comes back

Was the truck having a hard time starting?

Will that code throw a 2135 code too??

buen día me puede ayudar tengo una trailblazer 2001 iba en carretera de repente ya no aceleró y ya cuando me estacione otra vez trabajo bien y le acelere más y ya no kiso otravez entonces al otro día salí y trabajo bien y me estacione y al arrancar yano quiso agarrar ninguna velocidad tampoco la reversa quisiera saber k fue lo que le pasó ayudenme gracias.

Hey dude what the part called my chance

Where did you get the part I know it's a Delphi SL 0064 NOBODY IN CALIF SAN JOSE HAS IVE BEEN HUNTING ALL DAY

It's a shame when people don't look after their car! Checking the oil level is easier & takes less time than filling the fuel tank. =(

That's insane no oil

Don’t use an aftermarket Solenoid

Mine wont side out

So what is internally wrong with it then? A friend of nine has this issue and the engine rattles now. What could that be?

If that was a ford or dodge or any other engine besides GM that engine would be DOA!..

This is a 7 quart engine! WTF is wrong with people!?

Cross your fingers no shavings cuz it died on me today at a light

I hot code p0014 & p0017

Wtf are you talking about ?
