Hi, I have been chasing some DTCs and have hit a wall. I had p0019, p0016, and c121c. I have replaced bank 1 exhaust cam phaser, oil control valve, actuator, and position sensor. Dealer replaced chains and tensioners. Now it is running smoother, but I still get P0016 and limp mode for first 15 minutes of running. After engine warms up I can clear codes and it runs fine no codes until it sits and cools back off.

Any guidance is really appreciated
 
They said they did when they replaced the chain. With it going to strictly P0016 now, I am thinking maybe the intake phaser is causing my problem. Dealer said cam shaft replacement, but with it going away when warm has me thinking that is not the cause.
