Looks like the Intake cam Phaser may be bad. the oil was changed about 3500 miles ago (Always Mobile 1). im getting these tow codes.

P0010 - Intake Cam Position sensor Open Circuit
P0011- Camshaft Position system actuator bank1 timing over-advance.

i have been doing some research. there are a few issues that could cause this.

Oil Condition
Oil Level / Pressure
Batt. Voltage.
Bad Actuator

I believe my issue may be related it he Batt. Voltage. car has been cranking slow and died the other day on me. i am going to get a new Batt this weekend. Hopefully this will fix it. im not 100% sure on this due to the face that both code are from the same side. it seems that when the solenoid goes, it causes both code (Makes Sense). i need a battery so i will start there, if not then i will do the solenoid.

I wanted to post all of this for other 2.4 / VVT owners who may have the same issue now or someday,

IF you do end up needing the part, i found one on eBay (Genuine GM Part) for $45
P/N - 12628347

apparently its a common issue on the Solstice Forum. this is where i found most of this info.

anyone else have or had this issue? im just nervous that my Timing Chain may be stretching.

You dont hear about many chains stretching...just saying

I had the exact same codes, after $100 bucks at the dealer and both camshaft actuator solenoids I was fine. I wouldn't worry about the timing chain. Have you ever replaced your actuator solenoids?

edit: Also try deleting the codes then see how long they take to come back. If the codes come back immediately, like within 10 seconds of starting, it is probably voltage related. If it takes a little while to come back then it's 100% your cam actuator solenoids

^ its somewhat intermittent, so im going to guess solenoids. ill do the batt anyways first cause im going to need one, and then do the actuator solenoid if needed.

Had the same thing happen. Intermittent issue after I would delete the code. Bought the solenoid for $65 at the dealer and installed it in the parking lot in less than 5 minutes. No issues since and that was almost two years ago.

I found the bag from when I bought mine so idk if it's intake or exhaust but this should help:

12628347

They state which one on the top near the wiring clip (INT or EXT)

I had one of these codes cant remember which one exactly for like almost a year. It would randomly turn on sometimes and make my car shift hard as hell when it was on. Because it would turn the traction control on when the check engine light would come on. I switched out my intake actuator solenoid and it fixed the randomly turning on but I noticed that the traction control and sometimes the check engine light would still come on and make my car shift hard when I would step on it from a dig. Turns out I had a bad map sensor and I switched out the map sensor when I put my sc kit on. Hasnt done it ever since.

Not sure if you get the whole traction control thing also with your code but just in case you do thats what fixed mine lol. I did months of reading on those damn codes and heard alot of different stories similar to mine and there were apparently many different solutions to it. Usually its the solenoids and those are the cheapest and easy to install so id say start there.

I had the actuators replaced over the winter car was throwing similar codes sucked good luck I feel like this is a very common issue with our 2.4's as I've seen a lot of these kind of threads pop up in the last 2 years or so

This, I think it's more a standard maintenance thing now

I just replaced mine the other day too. Mine was throwing a p0013 for the exhaust one. So, I replaced both since they redesigned them.

Intake- 12646783
Exhaust - 12646784

The old part #'s were 12628347 and 12628348. Also, the old ones are painted black and the new ones are nice and chrome looking. lol.

Put them in Today. exhaust wasn't throwing a code but i did both. hopefully i can get an Inspection Sticker now!
