If this isn’t allowed delete it,
Daughters new to her 2014 Jeep Patriot, 2.4L. Its keeps throwing a p000a code, slow response from “a” camshaft position. I have pulled the VVT solenoid, seems to test OK using a 9v battery, cleaned it and reinstalled. Changed oil, looked really dirty first time so put Seafoam in and am changing again tonight. New plugs. Clear code, Goes 130-150 miles and code comes back. I think camshaft sensor is next step, can they be intermittent?
 

Possible wiring issue too. Corrosion at either end (at the sensor connector or at the module connector) can diminish signal strength.
