| 2011 Buick p0011 intermittent rough idle/stalling | 23Relevance | 3 years ago | Mars2011 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| ... there was a very noticeable increase in the sensitivity of the gas pedal and the car would jump (accelerate) randomly when slowing down. The day after the oil change, I had a random engine cut off while turning onto a parking lot. The engine was not shaky or running rough at this time and I didnt know the engine was dead initially. The car would start back up instantly, but would die when put in drive. After trying a couple times, the car started and ran perfectly fine straight home. I used my code reader and came up with p0016 and p0011. I spent a ridicul ... | |||||

| Do you mean the timing chain? What was this diagnosis based on? Do you get a rattling noise when starting up the engine cold? Does your Equinox have the 4 cylinder or V6 engine? It looks like there was a service campaign and warranty extension for the timing chain on 4 cylinder models, but unfortunately that has expired. | |||||
| Answer to: 2011 Nissan Frontier *ENGINE KNOCKING NOISE* | 23Relevance | 5 years ago | Nathaniel J. | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I have a 2011 Nissan Frontier 5spd w/od auto 4x4 147K miles. Here’s a link I posted on another post (2011 Nissan Frontier Negative Ignition timing) though I appreciate all of your help! I figured out I was looking at the wrong data, for worn timing chain. My ignition advance is 15 degrees. Which normally is supposed to be between 5-20 degrees. So my timing chain is healthy, if it wasn’t the ignition advance would be off, which it isn’t. So now the real problem is, what is this noise now, if it’s not the timing chain hitting the side of the guard. I have been proposed one of two ideas. Noisy injectors or Valve Clatter. Though let me provide you this information, my fathers NEW Audi (even though they are over engineered) makes the same ticking noise. ALSO my step mothers Acura w/ 30K miles has the same noise too. The only difference between my truck and their cars is both of theirs are GDI’s and mine is old school PFI. And I know GDI’s are known for their noisy ticking engines. So I wanted to ask y’all what y’all think about with this link I will provide y’all. | |||||
| Timing Chain Tensioners: Threadlocker or Not? | 23Relevance | 5 years ago | Miles Glide | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hey Scotty & community, I have a 2005 Mazda MPV, automatic 3 liter V6 (Ford Duratec 30) with 200,000 miles.I'm replacing my timing cover gaskets, so while I'm in there I'm planning to replace the timing chain tensioners as preventative maintenance. I found a user manual online which says to torque them to 18 foot pounds, but no mention of thread locker. When I reinstall the bolts holding them in, should I put thread locker on the bolts or not? | |||||
| Answer to: BMW timing belt/chain cost? | 23Relevance | 6 years ago | Mod_Man | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| You have a timing chain. I wouldn't look at replacing it unless you have leaks in the timing cover or other issues that would cause you to pull the cover off and be in there already. If you want to do it, find an independent shop for sure. The job can be done typically for around $1500-$2000 as you'll want to replace the tensioner while you are there. If you take it to a BMW dealer, no joke, you're looking at $8000 -$10000 because they'll want to pull the motor out to get at it easier. | |||||

| Do I need to replace the cam timing system? | 23Relevance | 1 year ago | hpyhnd | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| ... RPM reading. I fear that this indicates timing chain and gear wear. The truck has 175,000 miles on it. Is this something that indicates I need to replace the cam timing system? I'm retired and on a very low fixed income and about to turn 80 years old. I have the knowledge to do the job, but my body is definitely not what it used to be. So, do I continue to drive it like it is, or should I dive into the engine? Thanks for the advice. | |||||
| Timing Cover/Chain Replacement and Blend Door Actuator | 23Relevance | 3 years ago | jonrnkn1 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hey Scotty, I have a 2006 Honda Accord with a 2.4 L 4 cylinder with an automatic transmission. The vehicle has 256k miles and It's leaking out from the timing cover seal and it looks pretty bad. The car runs great but the previous owner said he had it replaced but I can't find any record of it. Should I just replace the timing chain and seal or just the seal itself? Also my car has duel climate control and I believe my blend door actuator may be bad. One side blows out hot while the other is luke warm. I've known this for a little while and made at tempo ... | |||||

| ... or two on a cam and you are in supreme danger of catastrophically destroying your motor. As of this second. your repair could be fixed by any decent mechanic for under half of what you were quoted, and i guarantee an entire timing set could be obtained for that for under $200. The unfortunate truth about this job is this, and only this: If you arent doing the repair yourself, the labor involved is going to be 80% or more of the bill(and this is the perfect job to give you a real life example of a dollar part, with a grand of labor, and will persuade your bu ... | |||||
| Corolla timing cover gasket leak | 23Relevance | 3 years ago | Joeo | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hi Scotty, I have a 2013 Corolla LE with approx 260 K. My mechanic noticed some oil seepage around the timing cover. They said it appears minor, but eventually will need replacement. They added that they should replace the timing chain and tensioner at the same time. I haven't heard of a timing chain and tensioner replaced often. Any advice and guidance would be greatly appreciated ? By the way, car is running fine. No weird engine sounds or rattles. Typicallly close to a quart low every 1500 to 2000 miles. Thanks | |||||
