Hi,
The code you have is related to the crankshaft/camshaft correlation. In other words, the computer thinks there is a timing issue. If this has the original timing chain, it may have stretched or jumped a tooth.
When I check the code, P0018, it tells me to check P0016. See pics below.
The one thing that I noticed is the issue can be the result of engine oil restrictions. The oil is a concern. Is the engine coolant low? Have you changed the oil? If the oil is thinned by a contaminant, it can lower oil pressure and cause this.
Let me know. Also, let me know if the vehicle is doing the same thing at all temperatures.
Take care,
Joe
