Camshaft Position "A" Help

[Relogical]

Codes:
P000A- Camshaft Position "A" - Timing Slow Response Bank1
P119E- Bank 1 Air-Fuel Ratio Imbalance for Port Injection
P119F- Bank 1 Air-Fuel Ratio Imbalance for Direct Injection
P219A- Bank 1 Air-Fuel Ratio Imbalance

Can not figure out the issue with my vehicle and these codes comes and go randomly. I'm guessing I have to replace the camshaft position 'A" sensor? Would some one show me a diagram of the location of such sensor and a link or part number for the sensor?

Would like to try this out and see if this makes a difference.

Could be the cam oil control valve.

I replaced the Cam oil control valve that was located at the top left of the engine bay. But still the same code. (Sorry brain fart of the direct name) been awhile.

Could be the camshaft timing sprocket..

Try pulling the cam position sensor and swapping it with the one on the other side. See if the code follows.

Could be as mentioned above. Hope it's not.

Hopefully not, that sprocket issue seems to be very expensive.

I will give the swapping of sensors try out.

I got this after the J02 recall. They had to redo it once more and it went away after. Best of luck

They had to do the recall again ? Or just replace the sensor ?

They essentially did the recall from start to finish one more time. Changed where each valve spring was installed.

It's not the camshaft position sensor since it's not a "camshaft position sensor range/performance" issue, it's a timing slow response.

The timing change is operated by oil pressure, so it's safe to assume the issue would be between the OCV filter and the oil control solenoid, if it was upstream of the OCV filter it'd affect more than one camshaft.

Those 3 air fuel ratio codes are detected at idle with crank speed, kind of like mini misfires, so if there's a cam that's not timed right (because it's slow to respond) that bank will show less crank acceleration on power strokes.

If no one has been in your engine and you follow the oil change schedule, with good quality oil and filters, it's not likely that a single OCV filter got clogged out of the blue, the much more complex (and thus failure prone) camshaft sprocket is a more likely culprit. Still, there's not much you CAN do to diffferentiate between the two, they're both inaccessible inside the engine, with the sprocket being a bit easier to get to - the OCV filter being under the camshaft carrier.

If you've been negligent with your oil or just want to clear any doubt of oil sludge, an engine flush would be an inexpensive first try, and a more logical step than a camshaft position sensor.
