Thread revival.

So I just got my first P0016 on my 2014 BRZ 6MT (build dat 09/13). It has 80K miles on it. I've had the car for the last 5K and it's the first time I've gotten the code.

Bumping this thread because it seems the most relevant to what I'm experiencing.

Once I got the code, I pulled over and cleared it. Didn't come back up and the car drove strong.

Got home and did some reading. Fired her back up and drove around the block and the code came back. The car idles perfectly and isn't exhibiting any strange behavior that would lead me to think there is an impending mechanical failure.

Is it safe to drive 30 miles to my brothers garage? I'm going to swap cam sensors and if that doesn't work change the oil. If I still get the code what's the best next step? ECU replacement? Don't want to crack open the front cover and change a sprocket if I can just do an ECU swap. Which ECU should I be looking for? Thanks in advance
