Error Code P0315 on 2007 Chevy Aveo

So Far this Summer I have had to replace a seal that leaked oil down into the spark plug wells and carboned up the piston heads in May. Then I had to replace the main computer board in June because it wouldn't communicate with the State's OBD for inspection. Had to go to heavier weight oil because of flickering low pressure readings in August even after replacing the sensor. Replaced the drive belt 2 weeks ago. Now I am getting P0315 Error code for the crank shaft position sensor. The wiring connection looks good. I don't know what to test at the sensor with a multimeter to verify the sensor is good or not. Are these problems all related? Is one of these causing this issue because I did something wrong or the dealership didn't do something when they replaced the computer board? Any Help is appreciated.

    Replaced the crank shaft position sensor and that didn't fix it. Can changing the drive belt throw off the crank shaft positioning and subsequently the timing?

P0315 - Crankshaft Position System Variation Not Learned

Possible causes- Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor harness is open or shorted
- Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor circuit poor electrical connection
- Faulty Crankshaft Position (CKP)
- Damaged crankshaft pulse wheel teeth. Tech notes Visual inspection of the Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor and crankshaft pulse wheel teeth for damage. If crankshaft teethes are OK, replaced the Crankshaft Position sensor

Testimonial: "By checking all the things recommended it narrowed it down to the dealership not doing all the calibrations when circuit board was replaced. "

    I ended up taking back to dealership after checking those items. They ran the calibration for the position sensor and the check engine light did not come back. It has been 3 days. It appears that when they put in the circuit board not all procedures were done.

My car smells like its burning oil, and there is oil in my spark plug wells. Guy at auto parts store says I need to replace oil gaskets that go around spark plugs. Is this a valid diagnosis and if so is it...

As far as I know spark plugs only have a metal type washer to seal, and there is no other oil seal needed. I have know oil to leak from rocker cover and fill spark plug wells, but tis also often covers engine. Burning oil smell couldbe from oil going onto the outside of hot engine. Check oil loss via dip stick. Clean all oil from outside engine to find out sites of leaks. Hope this helps.

I HAVE A CHEVY AVEO 2005 IT HAS MOTOR OIL IN THE SPARK PLUGS WHAT COULD BE WRONG. ANA

this sounds like the engine could have some bad valve guide seals allowing oil to be pumped into the combustion chamber of the engine, or you could have some broken pistion rings in the cylinders, i would get the vehichle checked out soon for this problem.

Changed spark plug wires and plugs found oil in both

The oil is probably leaking into the spark plug wells from the seals at the bottom of the pipes that constitute the wells. The wells may pull out with the plugs removed and have a seal at the top, but the bottom of the pipes may have been damaged if they are held in place by the plugs. Another method is to hold the pipes in place in the head with 'o' ring seals and these may have developed a leak, allowing oil from the tappet cover to get into the plug well.

Have oil leaking into one spark plug hole will valve cover gasket and spark plug seals fix this? this is a 2000 four cyl honda.

Yes. The valve covers have seals that seal around the spark plug tubes where the plug wires go down through the valve cover. A valve cover set should come with the spark plug tube seals. This is a common problem with Honda. I also recommend replacing the plug wires because the rubber boot can get saturated with oil and cause a misfire. Sometimes it may look like the boot is clean when you wipe it off, but the oil is still in the pores and can cause the boot to allow the spark to arc over to the spark plug tube. Most of the time the ceramic on the plugs gets messed up also. This can also cause a misfire. If the plugs have any brown or black discoloration that does not easily wipe off with a rag, then I also recommend replacing the plugs. The discoloration is caused by carbon. Carbon is highly electrically conductive. This will allow the spark to travel down the side of the ceramic to the metal base of the spark plug.

2006 chevy aveo. the dipstick reads oil is full. but there is oil in the spark plug holes.did the mechanic overfill last oil change. that was 4000kms ago. dipstick still reads full oil

You have oil in the plug holes because the seals that are supposed to keep oil out are leaking-you need to remove the valve cover to replace them.

We change the spark plug of my aveo 2004, and we found out that there is a oil leak on the third cylinder, what may cause the problem?

The valve cover has rubber o-ring seals that fit into the valve cover and seal oil out of the spark plug wells. Over time, they get hard and shrink, allowing oil to enter the plug wells from the top of the engine. You need to remove the valve cover and replace the valve cover gasket and o-ring seals. The seals should come with the valve cover gasket set.

Hope this helps,
Dave
