2/27/2015 4684 miles: CEL and car sputters, codes P000A and P0011, checked VVT angles 4* difference betweeen L R banks, replaced ECM and right intake cam sprocket
3/25/2015 4696 miles: CEL on, P0011. Checked intake advance angles 75* difference from left to right bank. Replaced cam sprocket and ECM ACVS solenoid is from good lot per tech line. Advance angles are still off cam timing is go

The dealership the car is at now says it is fixed, but the above is the last note in its service history and doesn't exactly suggest that: "Advance angles are still off".

I drove the car and it seemed perfectly fine. Dealer says if it hadn't been fixed it would be tripping the CEL and not running right.

Has anyone had similar issues to these, and were they ultimately fixed?

Thanks for any words of wisdom!
