P0008 engine code

Welcome to 2CarPros.

A single failed camshaft actuator or actuator solenoid will not cause this DTC to set. Are there any other codes stored in addition to this? If not, there is a good chance the secondary timing chain has stretched and is allowing a slight misalignment for the camshafts on one side of the engine.

If you have the code cleared, does it come right back?

Let me know.

Welcome back:

Well, at this point, I would replace the sensors and pray that takes care of the issue. If it doesn't, chances are we will need to check the timing chain.

That is where I question how this is sensor related. The code just indicates bank one. There is a sensor for both the intake and exhaust cam. When there is one sensor which is bad, the code is usually different and indicates which sensor is the cause. With this code, it is more likely that both intake and exhaust are equally off indicating a chain issue.

Anyway, those are my thoughts at this point. Let me know which direction you want to go so I can help you. I wish I could give you a more definitive answer.

Take care,
Joe
