[QUOTE="duaneedmonson, post: 28866, member: 11341"] My 2013 Equinox will throw P0017 code that will come and self clear on a reg basis. Engine starts as soon as I turn the key. It's so immediate that I can't hear the starter engage. It idles and cruses at highway speeds as smooth as glass. No detectable noise or rattle to my old ears. Fuel economy and acceleration are the same as when new. Car has 78,000 easy, old man driven miles. Because of the low mileage and no reason to be suspicious I have not been diligent in checking the oil level. Only once did find the oil level low enough for concern, about 3 qts low. That was immediately remedied and the oil changed within 3 days. That was also 5-6000 miles ago. My question is: given that the fault is intermittent and the performance perfect could a cam sensors and VVT solenoids change be worth a try or am I kidding myself? Thanks for your time and consideration. Duane [/QUOTE]
