My quest started by trying to confirm that the same component (#1265-5420) was used in both the 2.4L and the 2.2L. It is.
For the 2.2L:
intake (1265-5420)
exhaust (1265-5421)
No CEL... problem fixed. Next problem is to convince my wife to let me buy another HHR for our teenage daughter. (She likes my car and wants to take it away from me.)
later, Jimmy

The grommet you might be able to get at your local chevy parts dept - I don't imagine they are much in the way of $'s. Mine broke the last time I took the air cleaner housing off, the same as yours (all dried and cracked). I jury rigged a grommet from my parts bins so it would work -I think it was for holding a motorcycle side cover originally.
Thanks for posting this "how to"!

You are most welcome - and thanks for the info on the part number and price of the grommet/insulator. I;ve updated the first post in the thread to add your info. :)

I have an '06 2.4L, and have the check engine light and hard shift traction light on.. Got the code ran today and it came back as P0011 for the intake cam position actuator. Any consensus as to whether I should have both intake and exhaust changed??

I changed both of mine when only one was giving an error code - it's not a hard job so either way works. You have to decide for yourself.

Hi, I didn't want to miss out on the party!
2009 HHR 2.4
Current Fault Log
------------------
P0010: "A" Camshaft Position Actuator Circuit (Bank 1)
Is this covered under warranty? If not, just double checking what part(s) I will want to get ordered. The wife hasn't noticed any driving issues, so is it OK to drive until we get it fixed?
Thanks!

If you still have drivetrain warranty, then it is covered.
The part numbers, and prices, are detailed in the first posting in this thread. If she hasn't noticed the hard shifting............. Shame.
It's sort of ok to drive - I would not want to put a bag of miles on it though, and be gentle with the throttle. It can't be that good for the transmission, nor the engine mounts, or the flex pipe on the exhaust.
It's an easy fix - less than 45 minutes taking your time with it - all detailed in the first post in this thread.
