i have recently changed the timing tension-er. i bought the whole timing chain kit and replaced everything.i replaced the tensioner because it broke. the car started and now its allgood.but before the timing tensioner broke the code p0016 showed up.and now that im done installing it,the codes are still there. the codes are p0016,p0102.p0113.these codes were showing upbefore the cars timing tensioner had broken.i need help? i changed both the crank/cam sensor and nothing ..the codes are still showing up.im close to giving up and selling the car for parts.any advice would be helpful.thanks

Did you clear the codes after installation?

If you changed the chain and the crank sensor you MUST use a scantool to relearn the Crankshaft Position Sensor. No way around it. That's the P0016 most likely.

P0102 has to do with the MAF electrical connection. P0113 has to do with the Intake Air Temp Sensor electrical connection.

The MAF is also the Intake Air Temp Sensor. Do you see where that's going? If you remembered to plug it back in check to see that it is plugged in right.

Type the Pxxxx code into Google for lots of info on the specific codes.

i did erase the codes after the job.and drove it for a while but nothing the code came up after a little bit.the only code showing u p now is the p0016 code. online it said it was the camshaft solenoid but my car doesnt have it, i have a hhr lot 2.2 08. its not in the same location and i cant find it.

Read what "it" says again. It says the relationship of the camshaft and the crankshaft is out of whack.

Any time the harmonic balancer, crankshaft sensor or sprockets are changed the crankshaft sensor MUST be relearned using a SCANTOOL.

Should help you understand the code.

In this case it's Sensor not Solenoid.
