Am I missing something here and what do you guys think I should do??? Hopefully you guys can help me clear up some of this confusion..thanks.

The HPFP noise and the CEL/idle issue are two distinctly different problems. A TSB only exists for the HPFP noise and not the CEL/idle issue. Regarding cam sprockets, the horror stories are real sometimes requiring multiple component replacements and even leading to engine failure in some instances. This has not been, by any stretch, a pleasant experience for most of us affected.
Also, at what mileage did your CEL occur and what are the last four of your VIN (use XX for last two). Thanks.
