Starting on the path of fixing a Jeep Liberty

what year Liberty? why not lead off with year, ? I WILL GUESS AT 2006.
how many miles on this car.
which engine there, v6? 3.6L gasoline or 2.8L diesel? guessing gas.
the DTC errors vary by engine and car maker, in many cases... so do not read the lies seen on line, that mix many cars and engines DTC. ok?
that thermostat error, may hid these errors. fix the bad thermostat first.
0016 CHAPTER 9,2006 FSM (means real factory jeep service manual) (the manual states this is a 1 trip fault) not 3.
P0016–CRANKSHAFT / CAMSHAFT TIMING
MISALIGNMENT
p0344 (the manual states, this is 3 trip fault RULE) means tend to hide, so resetting it and thinking it is fixed, not waiting for 3 days or 3 trips you get to thinking it is self fixed and is not.
P0344-CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR
INTERMITTENT.
2006, K is the letter in 8th spot on Vin#
3.7 engine. Has 178,000 miles on odometer.
However, Mechanic feels this is not the original engine.
