I'm 23 and i purchased my first Chevy truck about a year and a half ago...I love it! Nothing fancy but its a 2002 silverado 1500. I never had a problem with it until about 4 or 5 months ago and it broke down on me due to my crank/cam sensors. I had a local mechanic work on it and he got it running but my engine light is on and its that time of year to get my E-check(Cleveland) I plugged it in to a code reader and it said camshaft to crankshaft correlation malfunction? PLEASE HELP i do not want expired plates. I've tried everything but that damn engine light just wont go off...

 

what repair was done to get it running?
post the code.

 

I had to get two new cam/crank shaft sensors put in...i really do not know much about cars but have been teaching myself things the last couple months. the codes were P0016 and P0018 i believe

 

how many miles on it? sounds like the timing chain may be worn

 

160,000

 

I'm an idiot when it comes to this stuff...is that an easy fix or is it ****ed?

 

what engine option? flex fuel? as I am not finding a p0016 or p0018 in my dtc search for a 2002
