Hi
I bought a 2012 Sonic LS with 1.8
Went to pick car up and got the p0011 code.

Dealer replaced timing belt, water pump, vvt solenoids and bunch other stuff. A week after i got it back it had same code and running rough.

I replaced the camshaft position sensor and coil, and spark plugs and changed oil

I think the timing thing needs relearned on computer. When I disconnected black cable overnight it ran smooth for a while but then started running rough and code came back

Mine's in the shop now for that plus a couple of other things. VVT pulley is bad, so it's getting timing belt, etc., done while they're in there.

Don’t be surprised if code comes back or cylinder misfire codes show up. Changed spark plugs that helped and now the ignition coil needs replaced. Should permanently get rid of that code I hope.

Did the plugs/coils keep the code away?

~5500 miles after getting all the new VVT pulley, timing belt, valve cover done, the P0011 is back. Maybe camshaft position sensors?
