Hello, I have the vehicle listed above that has engine code p000A and misfires p0301 and p0302. The engine surges and is low on power. The timing belts look okay. Does this indicate a camshaft sensor issue?

Yes, I would start with the camshaft position oil control valve and if it is okay change out the sensors and then clear the codes because the sensor can cause additional codes.

P000A - "A" Camshaft Position Slow Response Bank 1: This code typically points to an issue with the camshaft position sensor or the camshaft itself.

P0301 - Cylinder 1 Misfire Detected and P0302 - Cylinder 2 Misfire Detected:

Also, check the ground as shown in the images as well, also make sure the engine oil is clean and full.

See if the oil control valve has gunk or metal shavings. Check out the images (below). Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem so we can see what's going on.

Thanks for the information. I figured out the problem, it was an insect wedged inside the mass air flow sensor. I cleaned it and it runs 100%. Crazy! Thanks again!

Also, just to mention the info you provided was for a 2.4 Honda element not a Honda pilot 3.5 but still good information.
