God damn this shit sucks.

Got P0016. Passenger intake side, right? 2014 BRZ, 09/13 build date.

Swapped cam sensors. Nothing. Swapped OCVs. Nothing. Massaged OCV and cam sprocket plungers, they felt smooth. Nothing. Saw that I was half a quart low on oil. Filled up. Nothing. Realized I was on the B00C CalID. Flashed B01C. Nothing.

Changing out a cam sprocket is not really feasible for me right now. Shims don't seem very convincing.

I'm seriously considering just buying a 2015-2016 ECU and swapping it in. I don't even know if this will solve the issue or if the year even matters now that I see 2015s getting this code.

Any other input is greatly appreciated.
