P0011 camshaft position performance chevy 1.8 

Change your oil first. Specifically I used 1qt of Lucas oil stabilizer, 3.5qts Castrol Edge 5w-30, and a Fram synthetic oil filter. CEL went out upon startup. Cleared the P0011 code, all monitors are ready, and haven’t had an issue since. Engine sounds much happier now.

pulled the spring. my veh still had only 10psi @ idle hot which is exactly what it had prior to pulling the spring. great info though. thanks. i'll put an oil pump in this one. if that doesn't fix the pressure issue, it gets an engine.

Was the car over heating at all before? rough start? mine has been doing this recently was thinking of changing the sprockets but this might work

Did not work for.me. i removed the spring . Cleared code and came back after a few miles

Did this end up working for you, im just curious because I believe that valve should be closed by the oil filter at all times and only pops up when changing the filter to allow fluid to drain down to the pan.... any reply would be great as im struggling with the same issue and it seems to act up only hott and at idle

Brother you may have found me an answer. Got a 15 cruze, been trying to get rid of that code for days. Same scenario, replaced everything, even the cam actuators, timing belt

Ive replaced all of those parts and even replaced the VVT timing sproket and water pump and still have this stupid P0011 error. Im gonna try this ASAP. Crossing my fingers this is the problem

Thanks a lot am gonna try it out tomorrow morning

Question was the car jerking when it was hot?like it wants to turn off.cause mine is doing the same thing but it’s starts jerking when it’s hot.. thanks

I did everything timing chain etc all solenoids etc so I tried taking out spring still code p0011

I know this is a older video but that little value just pull out or does it twist out or lock in
