"A" Camshaft Position - Timing Over-Advanced or System Performance (Bank 1)
symptoms
Hard starting, bad idle and possibly stalling issues
caused by
Incorrect camshaft timing
Wiring issues (harness/wiring) in intake timing control valve control solenoid system
Steady oil flow to VCT piston chamber
Faulty timing valve control solenoid (stuck open)
the fix
This code indicated a mechanical issue, electrical troubleshooting wont help so replacement of the VCT or one of it's related components is necessary.
Trouble code P0011 means:"A" camshaft postion-timing-over-advanced (bank 1)
(near firewall on the valve cover) IVT will trigger DTC P0011
Depending on the cause of it, very much so. P0011 indicates a fault in the camshaft position sensor circuit, and it may be the sensor itself or the actuator. You can try throwing a new sensor in, but, if that's not the cause, you'd just be wasting money. Actually diagnosing this condition requires an OBD2 tool which actually has command functions - we're talking something like a ProLink IQ, Snap-on Solus or Verus, etc., where you'd be looking at $1400 or more for it. You should get that taken in and checked out.

It is possible that the reason for the P0505 code would cause a vehicle not to start. It relates toÊthe idle air vacuum line.
On my 1999, I'm pretty sure the cam and the crank sensor will generate the same fault code. For the price of the sensors, I'd just change both. Eliminate any doubt about which one is at fault.
vacuum leaks
In 2015 using icd 9 you would simply code for corneal abrasion. however in 2016 with icd 10 you would need to add a secondary (external cause) code
It could cause a failure. The line could be collapsing, causing no flow through it. This would cause a fail code.
