yes you can repair yourself.. Be careful, there are sensors & solenoids for IN & EX.
Give these links a read first, before you spend money...

Intake CMP solenoid is the front one.. on pass side. Gotta remove air filter housing for easy access..

 

Just did both mine on Friday. I am very much a beginner, it was easy, solenoids cost $104 at the dealer total.

 

good: solenoid..... solenoid....... solenoid...........

wrong: sensor....... sensor....... sensor

 

Thank you whopper !

Yikes, I did that twice, fixed them both. Sorry Whopper! :)

....and the plugs are slightly different, so there is no way to mix them up when re-attaching.
Got mine on e-bay from a Chevy dealer in Florida. e-bay name is number1gmparts
$39.99 each for the actuators. And yes, the parts are factory GM in original boxes.

 

By the way the new part numbers are 12655420 and 12655421. I bought mine at the dealer for $52 each, could have gotten them for $39 each online but choose not to wait for the $20 diff and just ran to the dealer.

 

thanks, will be fixing soon, funny, CEL is off next day,
