How can I get rid of the lights?
Just disconnect the battery if you do not own a OBDII scanner. I finally got tired of constantly going to autozone to read my errors and just bought a OBDII reader myself.

Replaced the Camshaft Timing Oil Control Valve. Disconnected battery for 1 hr to reset everything. Rock and Roll. No problems now. Drove it hard for a few hrs. immediately after, no problems. Two days have passed now and it's running smooth as butter.

I have had the same problem with my car jerking and mis firing, I took it to a auto repair place they didn't know what the issue was and just cleaned the part and gave it back to me. Within an hour after getting it back the same issues came back. I decided to take matters into my own hands and thanks to reading post on here I was able to find the part I needed at a reasonable price. There is a little trick you can do to help you get by until you get your part and that is to just unhook the sensor, and believe it or not all the issues go away but that is only a temporarily fix and I do not recommend you to drive it very long like that but if you need to be able to have your car like I do it is great, and I only drive short distances with it like that. I received my new part and for some reason the replacement parts bolt pattern is not the same as the first one. I know that they had changed the part so I am just wondering if that was part of the change as well or did I order the wrong part? If anyone can help me with this I would really appreciate it.
