Grrr

With the 2.4s there are a few issues, oil changes should be done early, in 4k mile range. If you want to do it fast, you can get a 12v $14 oil extractor pump. I pump out oil, change filter every 4k miles, then around every 20k I drain from pan. Saves a lot of time and only takes a few minutes to...

I put in the no smoke plus stop leak, added to oil. I don't think the stop leak matters, reg no smoke should work, stp, maybe Lucas oil stabilizer. When adding to oil I added around 6 Oz, checked idle at start and was enough, others said they used 8oz. I am not a oil additive guy, only additive...

OK, should only take about 3 starts after adding to completly stop the stalling.

I like rislone hyper fuel cleaner has multiple products in it, is good for a initial clean. Then for maint about every 6 months I use gumout multi system cleaner.

Please update me if you do take my advice, I am trying to find out why this works and would be helpful. Any oil thickening additive should in theory work, but the bardahl no smoke has been proven to work by many. If you want link to guy on YouTube, I can provide that also. He even went as far as...

Do this, add Bardahl no-smoke around 6-8 ounces to oil at every oil change. My 2014 awd 2.4 did same thing, fought with it replacing everything and seen YouTube guy say to add the no smoke. Works perfect, went 11 months zero stall(not once) , used to stall every start after about 10 seconds...

Buy new Vvt solenoids, is super easy to install, remove engine cover, unplug vvt, remove bolt holding vvt, vvt solenoid could be tight but will come out, I had to use channel lock and wiggle it, dented up the vvt but came out, install new vvt, put bolt back in, connected it again, done. Is as...

This is serious answer, my 2014 Terrain 2.4 is same as equinox. I bought my Terrain around 3 years ago, dealer had reset the computer. A few days later, every few starts it would stall after about 15-20 seconds. Once it stalled, would run fine and stall on next start. Warm cold did not matter...
