Help Please!!
My truck has been ticking and it dies sometimes at stop signs. The engine also shakes. Could this be caused by too much oil or is it the cam phasers or something else. Any info helps.

P0022 - "A" Camshaft Position - Timing Over-Retarded (Bank 2)
OBD-II DTC Trouble Code Description
"A" Camshaft Position - Timing Over-Retarded (Bank 2)
What does that mean?
A code P0022 refers to the VVT (variable valve timing) or VCT (variable camshaft timing) components and the car's PCM (powertrain control module, also called an ECM). That consists of a few different components but the P0022 DTC specifically refers to the camshaft (cam) timing. In this case, if the cam timing is over-retarded, the engine light will be illluminated and the code will be set. The "A" camshaft is either the intake, left, or front camshaft.
Potential Symptoms
Most likely a P0022 DTC will result in one of the following:
hard starting
poor idle and/or
stalling
There are potentially other symptoms as well. Of course, when trouble codes are set, the MIL (malfunction indicator lamp, a.k.a. the check engine light) illuminates.
Causes
A P0022 DTC trouble code may be caused by one or more of the following:
Incorrect camshaft timing
Wiring problems (harness/wiring) in intake timing control valve control solenoid system
Continuous oil flow to VCT piston chamber
Failed timing valve control solenoid (stuck open)
Possible Solutions
The main thing to check is to verify the operation of the VCT solenoid. You're looking for a sticking or stuck VCt solenoid valve caused by contamination. Refer to vehicle specific repair manual to perform component tests for the VCT unit. Notes: Dealer techs have advanced tools and the ability to follow detailed troubleshooting steps, including the ability to test components using a scan tool.

Mine did the same, and it had way too much oil in it as well.
I drained it and refilled with the correct amount and had the codes cleared at parts store. Haven't had a problem since and that was 6 months ago. So definitely get the excess oil out. I think the code mine through was an engine over retarded.
