When your Chevy Malibu shows fault code p16d0, it means the intake rocker arm valve 2 is stuck in the off position. This will illuminate the check engine light on your dashboard, similar to other fault codes. The issue is linked to an oil leak, so it is essential to inspect the oil galley plugs in the cylinder head and the rocker arms. If left unresolved, the leak could lead to more problems. After addressing the issue, the check engine light should turn off. If not, you can use an OBD-II reader to reset the light.

    I replaced the intake rocker arm, but I found oil on it when I took it out. Is that a good or bad sign?
