Order of inspection
P0010 A Camshaft Position Actuator Circuit (Bank 1) Medium
The P0010 code means the electrical circuit of the solenoid that controls variable valve timing on bank 1 is not responding the way the computer expects. It is an electrical code, not a performance code, so diagnosis starts with a multimeter. The most common cause is the solenoid itself, with its internal screen clogged by oil sludge.
