Got a check engine light and its through a P0022 code -"intake Cam Position Timing Over Retarded "



what could be causing this and is there a solution?
 
nevermind.... found it... unless someone else has another idea



Quote:



Cam timing improperly set

Continuous oil flow to the VCT piston chamber

VCT solenoid valve stuck open

Camshaft advance mechanism binding (VCT unit)

DTC P0022 is a check of the VCT unit. Engine will idle rough, hard starting and may stall. Diagnostics and repair for the VCT unit are located in the Workshop Manual. Check the operation of the VCT solenoid and check for a stuck or sticking solenoid valve caused by contamination. If the valve is stuck, check spider bracket for contamination prior to solenoid replacement.
