Chevy Malibu 2.4 : P0016 P0017 The Diagnosis

In this video I have a look at a 2012 Chevrolet Malibu with the 2.4 ecotech fresh from the auction. The check engine light is on with the infamous P0016 and P0017 codes. 90% of shops will just slam a timing set in it, but how do you 100% know what it needs? Could it be a slipped reluctor ring on the cam? It only takes a few minutes to bee 100% Remember, TEST DON'T GUESS! -Enjoy!
