Ontario BS Thread

I have got code P0012 (Camshaft Position "A" - Timing Over-Retarded (Bank 1)). Used to happen once a blue moon, now frequently

Bank 1 is RH side I think.
Pretty sure I'm looking for this part below.



Above, it shows pn 15330-0P010, but when i put that into Toyota parts direct it has a crap clipart picture that doesn't resemble what i want.


Anybody else dealt with this before can confirm what I'm looking for?

 

^Yes for the V6, bank 1 is passenger side. (V8 bank 1 is driver's side because )

According to the FSM, the oil control valve could be bad or the oil control valve filter screen could be clogged. The VVTi gear at the end of the camshaft could be bad too, but that's more difficult to replace.

You can remove the oil control valve and do some basic electrical checks as well:

 

NTK part is half the price if you need it: https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=13631697&cc=3015100&pt=12910

 

@3JOH22A I plan to do all those things in the very near future, and thank you for the rock auto listing.
