Got a Very Odd Code Today
So I am driving back from indy today the the Super Blazer and the engine light comes on. So I get home check the code and it says P0C20. Now i have looked everywhere for this code and I can't find it anywhere to find out what it is. Anyone got any ideas?????

you sure it was P0C20? did you scan it, or did a dude at autozone scan you and scribble down what he saw?
P0020 - "B" Camshaft Position Actuator Circuit (Bank 2)
OBD-II Trouble Code Technical Description"B" Camshaft Position Actuator Circuit (Bank 2)
What does that mean?A P0020 code refers to the VVT (variable valve timing) or VCT (variable camshaft timing) components and the car's PCM (powertrain control module). That consists of an oil control valve (OCV), also called a solenoid valve and other components. Basically the check engine light and associated P0020 trouble code means that the voltage in the circuit has fallen below a set limit for a specific amount of time (varies by make/model/engine). Bank 2 is the side of the engine that doesn't contain cylinder #1.
Note: This DTC is nearly identical to P0010
SymptomsSymptoms may include:
Check Engine Light illuminated (Malfunction Indicator Lamp)
Rough running
other symptoms may also be present
CausesA code P0020 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:
Faulty oil control valve (OCV)
Open or short in the VVT/VCT circuit
Open or short in the OCV / solenoid valve
Damaged computer (PCM)
Possible SolutionsSome recommended troubleshooting and repair steps are:
Carefully inspect the Bank 2 VVT/VCT system circuit wiring and connectors, repair as required
With a warm engine, test the operation of the OCV, replace/repair as needed
