    Great series thx, learned lots. In a previous life I used to hand grind head valves and seats at a REME barracks in UK. It's quick and easy, only a stick with a small rubber sucker on one end and grinding compound. Did thousands of valves that way on small eight valvers up to huge 32 valve V8's - would have been a hell of a lot quicker and cheaper than the M/C shop.

    Good series Ivan. I especially like your thoroughness in checking the injectors to insure the vehicle didn't have a problem later. Good job.

  • @frankgonzalez24
    @frankgonzalez24 5 років тому

    I have an 07 cobalt with the 2.4l engine. The ecotecs are interference engines. And when the timing chains on those breaks, the owner can kiss the engine good by. Because of it, it's highly recommended to replace the chain, tensioner and guides especially when pulling the head and the engine has a lot of miles, like over 150k. It will add to the price of the repair, but it beats replacing the engine when the chain breaks.

    Nice job Ivan, I forgot to ask, do you have a firstlook sensor? I bet you could of saw the issues with the valves. Up to what value of vacuum will your transducer show? You could put the transducer on the intake and look at the intake valve pulls. You could also put it in the exhaust.

  • @1quickchevy2
    @1quickchevy2 9 років тому +1

    Nice fix. I'm sure the customer like seeing all the documentantion, very professional. Did you happen to purge to air out of your line after you hooked it up to the fuel rail? I find that helps getting rid of a few psi of initial "bleed down" , that is really caused by the air decompressing inside the burdon tube in the gauge. thanks for the case study!

  • @The1979B

    Destroyed the rest thinking it was the synchros.

  • @billyr9840
    @billyr9840 9 років тому

    Ivan, great diagnostics strait thru to the fix ! Off topic a little bit, but I was wondering why you have the Autel. Did the Verus start acting up or is the Autel a back up in case it craps out? Two, how do you like it up to this point, and how is the coverage? Three, where did you buy your inducer for your home made pressure inducer? Thanks! Keep the vids coming!

    • @PineHollowAutoDiagnostics
      @PineHollowAutoDiagnostics  9 років тому

      +Billy R The Autel boots up really quick and I didn't need the scope here so no reason to bust out the big guns! I've owned the Autel longer than the Verus; it's been solid as a rock, with fantastic coverage for late-model (post-2000) vehicles. I might make a separate vid on the pressure transducer :)

    • @billyr9840

      we run 2.2 and 2.4L on our buggies and keep and extra motor in the shed we picked up for $500. we run them all day long at 4000 to 5000 rpm and never have any problems. did you have to tap the chain tensioner to set it in position.? great videio

    Hey, just came across your video. I was looking for fuel injector fixes. Anyways I have a 2009 cobalt at 230,000 miles. I have never had to do anything with the motor. Besides now fixing the injector. Could you let me know what I should do to the vehicle for longevity. I.e. Tune up etc... I've had it since 10 miles. So I'd like to keep it. But I can tell it doesn't feel strong and tight anymore.

    I have an 07 Saturn Ion that needs the same thing done to it. Only 31,000 miles, a real bummer. Is it a manufacturer defect with the valves? What's to say the same thing won't happen again in another 30K miles. Just wondering before I go ahead and have the shop proceed. Thanks!

    OMG I just have the same problem with my 2008 I did swap test of spark plugs and coils change injector and I did the pressure test on the cylinder and my #3 has low pressure so it will be exact same problem this car with only 100500 miles on it. By the way how much will be to fix this issue?
    I won't be able to do this by myself that is obviously I am amateur UA-camr mechanically true sk I do most I see on UA-cam 😌 with the guide of mechanics like you I have do many repairs successfully.
    Anyway how much this will cost from a real shop?

  • @Jake-kw4ql
    @Jake-kw4ql 7 років тому +1

    I'm staring this potential job in the eyes myself on my 06 ss. it's a 2.4l na, nothing special, bought the car in September with 110k on it, diagnosed and fixed a tc problem stemming from bad variable valve solenoids, and dumped about a grand rebuilding my suspension and redoing the breaks. now cyl 2 is misfiring, slowly spreading to cyl3.. diagnosing and repairing this well beyond my capabilities lol, so it's off to the shop in the a.m. for diagnosis. how much would you charge for this whole job? just asking so i know what to expect from my local shop

    • @paulsosa1872
      @paulsosa1872 7 років тому

      Jake I'm having issues with my traction control keeps going off but can't imagine the vvt solenoids would cause it to malfunction. I'm also getting the misfire on cyl 4. But maybe it's time to change the oil.

    • @Jake-kw4ql
      @Jake-kw4ql 7 років тому +1

      Paul Sosa my tc issue wasn't throwing codes, so i did a cap dump (disconnect battery cables from the battery, touch them together to discharge voltage from the computer) causing a complete reset of the cpu, at which point i got an immediate code for the map sensor, and replaced that. tc issue right away got a lot less severe, but still popped up here and there. did a little research and found those solenoids going bad can cause the engine to go into a kind of safety mode causing traction control to shut off and extremely hard shifts between gears, and will not trigger a check engine light, other than the tc light. so, i replaced the exhaust and intake solenoids and the problem went away. the solenoids are simple, right on top, left hand side if you have an ecotech. just make sure you don't put the ehaust in the intake port and vise versa, gotta make sure you put them in the right spots so do 1 at a time

    • @Jake-kw4ql
      @Jake-kw4ql 7 років тому +1

      Paul Sosa also, i did a bg inductions service and fuel injector cleaning at the mechanic, and my misfires went away. its different from the fuel injector cleaner you dump in your gas tank, that did nothing for me, the service i had the mechanic do solved the issue.

  • @davejames2015
    @davejames2015 8 років тому

    i have a misfire in cylinder number one. did a compression test first 180 across all cylinders. bank 1 oxygen sensor was jumping around voltage a bit but cleared up under wide open. but does not run bad at all. its the 2.4L in a 06ss cobalt. tried switching coils and did plugs but ill put about 60 miles on it and then it comes back. so maybe pull the injectors out and inspect the 0rings and such because i dont have a great scan tool. Any advice would be appreciated! Great videos!

    • @PineHollowAutoDiagnostics
      @PineHollowAutoDiagnostics  8 років тому

      Is it a hard misfire that you can feel? Do a compression check on a hot engine just to rule that out.

    • @PineHollowAutoDiagnostics

  • @soundrecordings2659
    @soundrecordings2659 9 років тому

    So, Ivan, What actually caused the valves to do that? Poor design? Poor materials? Poor manufacture? I have an 09' which makes me paticurlarly interested.

    • @PineHollowAutoDiagnostics
      @PineHollowAutoDiagnostics  9 років тому +1

      +Andrew Lulling The machine shop guy said it was from excessive heat, but the seats should be engineered to withstand way more than normal operating conditions, so my bet is on poor materials.
      Out of interest, how much oil (if any) does your '09 consume? How many miles? There are thousands of these things running around, and you don't hear all of them eating valve seats at less than 100k on the clock! Hopefully this one was a fluke...

    • @soundrecordings2659
      @soundrecordings2659 8 років тому

      Ahh My 09 consumes no Oil. Then again its a 5 cylinder from VW. It came with regular oil that was used to break the engine in for 2,500 miles and its had synthetic ever since. Now at 101K.

    • @PineHollowAutoDiagnostics

    how bad is this issue, i have been driving for months with the same problem , my cobalt has the same issue.
    and a local repair shop after doing the compression test, found a cylinder having less psi quoted me >2000$ to rebuild the cylinder head ..
    my cylinder 2 misfires with rough idle.

    • @PineHollowAutoDiagnostics
      @PineHollowAutoDiagnostics  7 років тому +1

      Well you should get it fixed sooner rather than later, otherwise you might need new valves and seats on that cylinder which just adds to the cost.

    Seems like you could have just lapped in those valves and saved a little money for the customer. But they definitely got a good upgrade, if only the rest of the car will last long enough to reap the benefits.
