Generic P0011 fault code, replaced vvt solenoid, timing sprockets, set the timing, and no improvement. I suspect oil pressure issue to the solenoid, and am going to try replacing the oil flow control check valve, looking for advice or similar experiences. Have found very little information on replacement of oil flow control valve. But it's different from the oil pressure relief valve in the bottom of the oil pump. Please help

P0011 fault code

Trying to get this fixed myself. Had the sprockets and timing kit installed back in January and everything was fine for about 3 months then the engine light came on with the same code. Changing the solenoid(s) is my next step.
Dare I ask, do you have the 1.8L engine and did you replace one or both solenoids?

I have the 1.4 turbo and that little flow back valve at the bottom of the oil filter was not seating properly. Once corrected, my oil pressure. Checked with pressure Guage, went from 5psi after warm up at idle, to 38 psi. I also changed the vvt selenoids and that alone improved the dynamic timing and also pulled the valve adjusters too and cleaned the screens real well. Before all this I was getting the oil light and very poor acceleration and would stumble and cut off at stop lights. That little return valve seating properly made a huge difference in oil pressures at idle and acceleration.Generic P0011 fault code, replaced vvt solenoid, timing sprockets, set the timing, and no improvement.

Also, when installing a new filter, make certain it freely rotates in the cap prior to installation, and the seat for the valve at the bottom is clean as a gasket surface. Mine had a small peice of grit on the seating surface after inspection during my 1st attempt and also noticed my filter wouldn't rotate freely in the cap which may have cocked the valve a little allowing flow back to the oil pan and thus oil flow pressures are greatly reduced.
