i got a tune up and they replaced 2 coils, 2 boots, and all spark plugs, and the fuel rail pressure. it ran better, but it had a p0012 code. they replaced the vct solenoid on both sides. it ran better, but still rough on idle. there is still a p0012 code and a misfire in cylinder 2. they say its probably the fuel injector and that a misfire can cause a p0012, but based on what ive seen, it sounds like the cam timing is off because of an issue with the timing belt. what do you think?

It sounds like they're firing the parts cannon at the problem without properly diagnosing and testing against the root cause which is the misfire on Cylinder 2.
