P0014 diagnostic code 2012 chevy equinox 2.4L

Asked by tabitha Aug 06, 2018 at 07:51 AM about the 2012 Chevrolet Equinox 2LT FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Check engine light on code came up with p0014 - Camshaft
Position B – Timing Over-Advanced. The only symptoms
the vehicle is having is slight loss of power on take off and
poor MPG. No issues with cranking.
What we have done:
routine oil change - new filter with 5w-30 full synthetic pul
Changed intake and exhaust camshaft position solenoids.
Changed cam shaft position sensor.
New spark plugs
Engine flush followed by another oil change.

Timing was also checked and does not appear to have
jumped time.

I'm at a complete loss as to where to go from here

Could be one of the camshaft sprockets not parking. I have the same code and have completed the same diagnostics and finally took it to the dealership for my extended service for a failed oil consumption test. Upon disassembly, they verified the exhaust cam sprocket was seized in the full- advanced position from oil starvation. Parts and labor for the sprocket alone is just under $1000, but if you're confident, parts can be had for roughly $125-150 from Rock Auto and it's about an hour job. Good luck!
