I had an engine code pop up that was for the "Intake Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve Control Circuit(P0010)." I just changed my oil yesterday but the mechanic said that wouldn't cause it. He said it was just one of two Circuits on top of the engine causing it and that all I would have to do is pop new ones in and it would go away. Anyone ever experience this and have any fixes? I drive a 2010 base model Cobalt.

Yep, changing the intake actuator solenoid fixes it.

I had to replace mine on my 09 xfe as well. $45 or so
Ouch, they're $28 on Amazon.

I also have a P0010 and a P0013 code for the Intake and Exhaust CMP Actuator Solenoid CKTS. Dealer said that they were both open and could fix for $350.00. I think that both solenoids going bad may mean something else is causing this problem. Does not seem to have any effect on performance. 2009 Cobalt LT 2.2L Engine. Anybody else have this or experienced this issue.
Get em both off Amazon, it's a lot cheaper than the dealership.
