Hi,

You should post additional data at idle, so that we can find a direction.

Air flow, O2 readings, fuel trims, vacuum pressure, tps.

You can unplug VVT actuactors and check if idle improves.

Almost sounds like vvt system not getting enough oil pressure at idle when hot... Has the oil been changed ? May be a short term cure (run right for the first 1k miles) until oil thins, is valve train noisy at idle hot? Load some data clips cold idle and hot idle.

I ran into a situation like this when i worked at the gm dealer. Make sure that all the cam caps are installed in the right place ( check letters or numbers I forget) . i had one drove me crazy. all were in wrong spot. made the line bore for the cam off enough that cam would not retard quickly ..... just saying ..... had it happen to me. made no noise . Just something to look at !

ok guys just an update on the equinox , it was sugestioned to check the cam cap so i did the cap was put back in the wright place as i can tell the arrows was facing the phaser gear(front ) number in order, so pulled some can cap off to look at oiling and of course they were scared up moderate so i pulled the intake cap off and found the seal missing,( dealer calls them 2 cam seals) , picture thanks ED2 for the advice and put me in the right direction
