has anyone had low oil pressure cause P 0014?

Hey folks, Just wondering if anyone has had the p 0014 code "timing over advanced" due to low oil pressure? I read on this forum that it is possible as the cvvt unit runs off oil pressure. Ive double checked the timing belt to make sure everything lines up there, tested the cvvt solenoid and wiring.
This code has been staying on for the last 2 years and a year or so ago we had the "oil low warning" come on. BUt turning off the car and restarting solved that.
Im going to replace the oil sump o rings, as im also hearing some ticking in the engine while lightly accelerating at around 2000 rpm.
Has anyone else had P 0014 when the oil sump rings were toast? My motor is also very sludgey with 130 miles.
Thanks for any inuput.

Curtis

There is a CCVT solenoid at the top/rear of engine, on top- I have seen where people have taken this off and cleaned the fine passages in that too...this could be the cause of your woes.

ya the solenoid. Thats what I meant, I cheked it with 12v power to confirm the solenoid worked. and that there was proper air passing through the correct passages.
my bad though I said I checked the cvvt unit which infact I haven't. I guess ive been driving it this long the way it is I might as well change the sump o rings first to atleast get some good oil pressure and rule that in or out.
