My car gave me a code p0013 to change my VVT. I did both VVT on passenger side have new ones put on I also went ahead and changed the camshaft sensor on passenger bottom side. Drove car for 60ish miles and light still okay and codes are the same. Don't know what to do at this point.

Code P0013 camshaft position actuator circuit. This code specifically refers to the "B" camshaft position.

So, I would remove the camshaft position actuator solenoid and clean the screen to allow oil flow through the valve here is the location so you can check it out. Also, make sure the engine oil is clean and full.

Sorry it looks like the camshaft position actuator solenoid for the exhaust cannot be disassembled so you might need to get a new one. Check out the images (below). Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem so we can see what's going on.
