I got a code P0010 over four weeks ago. My car is my beard, need no more debt. The P0010 code read: Bank 1 Camshaft position sensor. I replaced the engine variable timing solenoid, the camshaft position actuator solenoid, and the oil pressure switch checked all the fluids-Brakes and all.
The engine light would go off for about ten minutes, then come back on. Driving a day ago, the car starts stuttering/hesitating when pressing on the gas.That last for about twenty miles, then it stopped.
What more can I do to get the engine light to go off and keep my car running? I have never had any problem with it starting, I am afraid that may come about if I do not fix when causing the engine light on.

It may be a plugged oil galley or a short in wiring causing the problem. a mechanic should check this with his scanner it may even be the cam phaser which the solenoid moves to make more power for car.
