A good product. fits fuel system

Works as expected. Installed it on my two GM vehicles. It would be nice if they were painted the same color as the OEM part.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Not suitable for everyone

Cons

just what i needed for the fuel system

P0013. Engine check has been activated. Modified intake and exhaust solenoids. Codes cleared and fuel saved :). The original solenoids came with a 10mm bolt. New magnets are supplied with a diameter of 8mm. Just to save time folks ;)

Pros
  • practical item
Cons
  • many items

Worked like clockwork

I went to the autozone to read the codes and they told me the problem was with the time magnet. After getting a quote from my mechanic, he told me the repair would cost me $180. I just ordered this from Amazon. I changed both valves as I wasn't sure which one was causing the error. Replacing the valves resets all errors.

Pros
  • price
Cons
  • zero

Easier oil change

Replaced both the intake and exhaust on a 2009 Kobalt with the infamous p0013-p0014. (Shown is new intake, old exhaust) I did as others suggested and used an original bolt from the old part (original 10mm bolt, Dorman 8mm bolt). Easy as pie, the hardest part was getting the old one out, it held up pretty well after 8 years and 75,000 miles.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Miscellaneous Miscellaneous

Powered by Chevy HHR to fit fuel system

We had a low mileage Chevy HHR but just enough to be out of warranty and then we were given an engine code that goes back to these. We replaced the inlet and outlet at the same time to clean up the code and make sure it's fixed. It would be better if they lasted longer, but the replacement parts we bought lasted at least as long as the stock models before we got rid of them. this terrible car.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • No manual

gm Ecotec 2.0T Fits Solenoids

There is some confusion as to whether this part will fit Ecotec 2.0T engines (Cobalt SS, Pontiac gxp, Saturn Sky Turbo). Short answer: YES. But remember you need TWO different part numbers. One for inlet and one for outlet. Other 917-016. To check the condition of the part (or your old one) beforehand, measure the resistance between the two terminals. You should get something around 11-13 ohms. And higher or lower and it starts to fail. If you get a high voltage ECU code, it means the…

Pros
  • GOLS Certified
Cons
  • Available in Black Only

Worked great for 09 G6 2.4L

Replace the inlet and outlet in the process. I used this on 09 g6 2.4 ecotec. It worked great. Part Nos. 917-215 and 917-216. Blow dust, dirt, and sand from the general area before removing anything. 10mm head for removing old, 8mm head for attaching new. Once you've got the old part out (you can rotate them back and forth 10 degrees with the channel locks by pulling them up), you bypass that area and make installing the new one more difficult without messing up. Remember. Before installing…

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Some small things

I usually find that most of the products/services I buy from Revain.com are exactly as described and always arrive within the 2 day Revain Prime shipping method. The Dorman 917-215 had an issue reported by other Revain.com customers that resulted in the loss of one star for that particular rating. The clamp screw is not strong at all! I sincerely thank the reviewers for this issue prior to my purchase and have replaced the new solenoid screw with the one that came with the OEM block as…

Pros
  • good thing
Cons
  • I don't remember but something was
