You still have a charging system problem, the new alternator did not fix the problem.

The computer controls the cam timing by using a solenoid valve inside the engine. The valve works by oil pressure.The code means the computer can not control the valve timing. Usually the valve is faulty or there is a problem with oil pressure.Since you say the oil pressure light is coming on, I would expect to find a problem with the oil pump or excessive dirt in the engine.If the oil pressure switch is good, it will turn the light on when the oil pressure drops below 5 psi. And if it is that low, I doubt oil is reaching the valves.

The code means the computer tried to pressurize the fuel tank and was not able to.The computer vents the fuel tank several times each hour while you are driving the car by using a solenoid vent valve.You could have a faulty or loose gas cap, or a leak in the line from the tank to the valve.

Hi,
This is all available at the dealer by taking down the VIN# - call the dealer and also while on the phone ask about RECALLS and Service Bulletins - this will save you a bundle over the years and maybe right now.
for argument sake a total of 3 lbs is usually a decent rule of thum. Remember - too much is worse than too little.

Could be a problem with the a/c clutch, pressure switch, relay, or main controller.You'll need a mechanic with a book to check the circuits.

This car uses a fuel vapor recovery system that can and will cause this problem. You need it to be checked out by the dealer as it is very expensive to replace and unless you know what to replace it may not cure the problem.

The first thing to do here is have the fluid and the filter changed if it has never been done, if that fails to correct the problem then yes it is time likely for a rebuild.

check the crankshaft sensor first.
