My 2010 chevy equinox ltz has been having issues with stuttering at certain speeds and sometimes uphill. I scanned it and it came up with p0017 and p0018. It showing it the sensors for the camshaft. I just wanna know if anyone would know if it would be the actual sensors themselves, or maybe something else like the actuators or timing chain.
Clarification: mileage?
144k
It could well be a stretched timing chain. But start with checking the wiring & connectors.

Okay, I checked all the wiring and connectors doesn't look like there's anything wrong with them. I was really hoping it wasn't a stretched time chain. Could it also be it needs some cleaning?
Have it inspected by a professional mechanic & see what they have to say. Is your vehicle very high mileage?
See below: btw, how does your oil level look?

The oil level is good and hasn't been a month since changed it. I will keep looking before I assume the worse case.
