Hi, I just picked up a 2014 Buick Regal with the 2.0 turbo. I am getting the code p0010 and it tells me it could be the Intake Camshaft Solenoid. I cleared the code and check oil level. that was ok. changed oil also. Code came back. I put in 93 octane and code hasn't come back. any ideas?

Thanks.

I finally removed mine. Connector would not release all the way. I was able to remove the little nub that the connector locks onto.. connector came off and was able to still lock onto the new solenoid. Car runs great now. No codes now and passed emissions.

I did mine a few weeks ago ... the job of replacing the solenoids takes about 3 minutes .... getting the second connector disconnected takes about 1 minute or less. Getting the first connector disconnected ..... hmmmmm, 5 minutes, then search for another video, 5 more minutes, take a heat exhaustion break .... and well after about 25 minutes it was off. Thankfully I was fully trained on removing the connectors for the next job which was replacing plugs and coils. Just be careful, and if the coil connector is in a better position, practice on that first. Car ran better with the solenoids replaced, and much much better with the 80K plugs and coils replaced.

Where is the intake camshaft position actuator solenoid?

The intake camshaft actuator features a gray electrical plug and is located closer to the front of the vehicle on the top of the cylinder head.

What does a camshaft position actuator solenoid do?

A camshaft actuator solenoid is normally installed in the front of each cylinder head. It is used to precisely control the flow of oil into the camshaft actuator. This changes the rotation of the camshaft to adjust valve timing and valve overlap on the go.

Is a camshaft actuator the same as a VVT solenoid?

Every automaker seems to have a different name for its variable valve timing (VVT) solenoids. Depending on the vehicle manufacturer, these parts may be referred to as camshaft actuator solenoids, oil control solenoids, VANOS solenoids—the list goes on and on.

What happens if the camshaft position sensor fails?

A failing camshaft position sensor begins losing its ability to quickly transfer data. Mismatched fuel delivery and ignition timing, even if off by a few milliseconds, will cause your vehicle to sputter, accelerate poorly, lack power, stall or even shut off.
