code P0016
 

Hi folks. New here and need help. I have a 2008 with a 2.2 . Throws the P0016 code. Changed the cam sensor still wont start, Trying to find out where the crankshaft position sensor is on this car. all the info I am getting does not match. Anybody know where it is ????

Give the search tool at the top of the page a try - just enter "P0016" without the quotes.

The answer may be there - be aware that you may be looking at other issues than a sensor - the timing chain might have jumped and caused some major damage. You will find reference to that kind of problem in the search results.

Welcome to the site :smile: Here is a diagram of the crank sensor location.

Wopper may be correct you may have something other than just replace the crank sensor.

I wish I could remember how to add arrows to PDFs!

I cheated I found this one on google images with the arrow already there :lol:

You mean like this donbrew? (And my wife calls me a computer dummy. :propeller:)

Can't do it!

And my wife just calls me a dummy.:sad:

Hey Guys, Took the car in after replacing both sensors and doing the relearn procedure several times with no luck. They tell me it is the tensioners on the timing chain. AT 65K you would not think that would be the case. Car has had oil changes religiously. Said somthing about the seals leaking on the tensioner . Somehow it uses oil pressure to keep tension. Whatever the case looks like about a 2000 dollar job at the dealer. Contacted Chevrolet about a repair assist program since I am only 11 months out of the power train warranty but still in by mileage. We shall see what happens..Thanks to whopper , Lucky , and Donbrew for all the help. Will let yall know how it turns out and if the HHR goes up for sale..LOL

There is a updated timing tensioner for our engines and yes they use oil psi to maintain correct tension for the timing chain.

Hopefully they will be able to help you out with the repairs.
