I have the same issue, what was your resolution?

Hey derryl you sound like you know what your talking about have a question for you the timing had skipped in my 07 Dodge Dakota with 4.7 8 cylinder an put new timing set on it an set it to tdc an then I was thinking I might have some bent valves to cause it’s not right the valve lifters are loose on the side that I had damage on my timing the right side or passenger side an so I got new lifters an rockers an they are still loose I can just put them on with my fingers so I think the rods are to short an there not enough there to make them tight why would the rods be shorter now I’m not a mechanic at all I just can’t afford one nor find someone to help me so I’m on my own here can you shoot me a email maybe not sure if you can get back to me on this matter justanorthrup@gmail.com thanks in advance bud

Piece of cake? Please describe step by step and necessary tools

I wonder if this is why my car died and won’t start! I’m getting code P2646. Sounds like my car is out of gas & wont start.

The 2014 Malibu has a recall on the rocker arm oil control valve.

You should be able to search for recalls here: https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls

Do you have a picture of that recall notice? I believe my husband threw it away thinking it was junk and now the Chevy dealership says that there is no recall for my ’14 Malibu for that exact same thing…

Sure these automatic gearboxes have a vacuum link, pipe from back of auto gearbox pressure valve via inlet temp control on intake manifold to auto/manual gear changing sensor in dash board close to ecu
if pipe is missed or leaking that part of the ecu that is controller for auto gear box
as has very limited memory once code memory full ecu ignores input from this sensor link,
try battery disconnect for 30 sec to reset your basic ecu codes,
if you get improvement for while you nail this fault,
it will be simple if just crack/leaking vacuum pipes bar get at the bloody one under dash, and changing it , if it the gearbox auto pressure valve ITS A GARAGE JOB AS YOU HAVE TO DISMANTLE WHOLE BLOODY AUTO GEARBOX TO CHANGE IT AND IT COST ABOUT 10 CENTS your money,As its all down to RUBBER O ring wearing and stopping the gear braking system from syncing at right times, Why this sensor was put in dash board and not in engine bay has alway defies logic as its link wire to loom are by the main subframe at back of engine,, Pays to check this main loom links as can corrode inside on pins , THIS CAN CAUSE SOME AUTO GEARBOXS TO START TO SEEM TO FAIL,

There is a recall because of the rocker arm on our ’14 Malibu with 72k. Check engine light came on. No other symptoms. Still running as new! Going in Monday.

Take existing good one out and bring it to a machine shop or call around for one and have one fabricated from scratch I’m a machinist and can make anything from scratch given the dimension or specs and tolerances upon application so ya try that my friend
