I have 2 codes that have come up. One is a P0011 intake camshaft position timing over-advanced bank 1, and the other is a P0014 exhaust camshaft position system performance. For the P0011 code I replaced the sensor and it's still coming up after clearing the code. What else could it be? For the P0014 code how do you know if it is a sensor or the actuator valve? And how do you know which one since there are two for the exhaust?

Yep, it sounds like the oil control valve is stuck open, here is the location of the valve so you can change it out, also please make sure the engine oil is clean and full.

The error codes P0011 and P0014 are typically related to the timing of your engine and are often linked to the camshaft position actuator or variable valve timing (VVT) system.

Here's a breakdown of what these codes usually mean:

P0011: "A" Camshaft Position - Timing Over-Advanced or System Performance (Bank 1)
P0014: "B" Camshaft Position - Timing Over-Advanced or System Performance (Bank 1)
These codes may indicate that the camshaft position is too far advanced compared to where it should be, which can be due to various underlying problems.
