P0016 Crankshaft position - Camshaft position correlation (Bank 1 Sensor A )

When the engine is at idle you will experience rough idle, Right now the only problem the engine has is just a OCV (oil control valve) which is a varaiable valve timing. Because this is a solenoid, it capable of shorting its ECM driver which can become more costly as in replacing the ECM. Depending on the Year and the engine size it is highly recommended you replace both OCV solenoid one for the intake and one for the exhaust,

 When dealing with the OCV valve or the solenoid valve timing.when the code is P0016 you are just dealing with a failed OCV, If left unrepaired for sometime and the code becomes a P0010 from a P0016 it more than likely the ECM driver for the OCV is shorted.
