That is a cam position sensor code?
Does your oil need to be changed?
Are you using the correct weight oil?
They skip bad cam sensor or wiring.
Cause:
ENGINE OIL LEVEL LOW
ENGINE OIL AERATED OR CONTAMINATED
INCORRECT ENGINE OIL FILTER
INSUFFICIENT OIL PRESSURE DUE TO A MECHANICAL FAILURE IN THE OILING SYSTEM
VVT INTAKE SOLENOID 1/1 FAULTY OR INTERMITTENTLY BINDING/STICKING
CAMSHAFT 1/1 OIL CONTROL VALVE FAULTY OR INTERMITTENTLY BINDING/STICKING SPOOL VALVE
CAMSHAFT TONE WHEEL MISALIGNED
CAMSHAFT 1/1 PHASER FAULTY OR INTERMITTENTLY BINDING/STICKING
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM)

Re: P000A code help
The oil has recently been changed but is a little darker than expected. I drove it home last night and the check engine light was off. I live on top of the mountain and was following a car going about 30mph in 3rd gear, the Jeep felt like it was going to stall out. The check engine light started flashing, I geared down to second and drove it about 100 yards and the check engine light went off and it started running fine to the house. When I geared down to second I could tell the HP dropped. It does have a little rough idle.

Maybe its time to replace it??
I have a honda with a 2.4 engine the exhaust cam wears and galls. Every 30k mi the rockers need to be checked and regapped. Sucks had to replace the head. FYI
Reman heads have galled cams too.
