Default dreaded p0011 on 2011 Hyundai Sonata SE, new cam sensor, new oil control valve sensor

Well, I have been kinda stumped on this one guys, i'm hoping one of you have some more ideas for me, because I'm just about out of ideas.

Vehicle Info: 2011 Hyundai Sonata SE
Miles: 140,xxx
Error Codes: P0011

Parts Replaced So Far: Oil Control Valve, Cam Shaft Position Sensor, Did an Oil Change/Filter Change.

Problems: Check Engine Light is one.
However, the car drives ABSOLUTELY FINE. If I clear the code on an OBD scanner it just comes back after I start driving it. I can however let the car sit and idle for hours, and the check engine light will next come on.

I went and did the oil change because the oil was kinda old. Anyone have any other suggestions?

It could be an electrical fault. If there is no power going to the OCV it will not change the valve timing and thus be out of range as soon as you rev higher than idle.
Inspect , clean and test the wires and connectors going to the OCV.

Good luck!

There was a recall on 2011 and 2012 hyundai sonata for metal debris that was left in the engine during the manufacturing process. You can check your vin#, the link is below. Or call your nearest Hyundai dealership and speak with someone in the service department. It probably hasn't happened yet but you will start hearing a knocking sound coming from your engine. I hope this helps.
