only replaced the intake solenoid
I was also going to do both, except I'm super broke. Lol. So I did just the intake one, that did the trick for me.. in case that's useful to anyone here.

The reason you can't find them, is that the 2007 2.2 doesn't have them. The answer you seek is in the definition of the code received.

2009 2.2 may indeed have "Variable Valve Timing"
Nope - the 2.2 does not have variable valve timing like the 2.4L, and therefore does not have the solenoids and other related mechanical bits.
If you are having problems, your first step is to get the error codes stored in the DIC if the Check Engine Light is lit. Without that, you are shooting in the dark.

So it seems there has been a change around model year 2009.

Sorry Whopper,
It's the same codes associated with the Camshaft Actuator, I just typed what was in parenthesis. showing that the circuit malfunctioned.'
Car is still under warranty so they are taking care of this today, and I'm having them clean the throttle body as well. for my own piece of mind. I cleaned it once, what a pain in the ass!
I saked them to replace the 2nd actuator as preventive maitnence since they were doing one of them. (I would have paid for it). They told me chevy won't let them replace parts like that. Weird.

"camshaft actuator"? I gather you mean Camshaft Postition Actuator Solenoid?
Yeah, the dealer won't replace it under warranty unless there is a noted indication of a problem, which makes sense. But one would think they would love the exta $'s from you to replace the non-failed part - but I bet they would want to charge you shop-rate for replacing it, even tho' they already had it torn down for the warranty-replacement.
Hope it works out for you man.
