Trouble code P0011 points to an issue in the engines variable valve timing system. The solenoid responsible for altering the valve adjustment may have become dirty or failed and is stuck in a position better suited for a warm engine. As the engine temperature and load demand change, the computer can adjust the valve-train for optimum performance. This code can be the cause of dirty oil or a failed solenoid.
