Can a crank and cam sensor be replaced?
I replaced both the cam and crank sensor and car still will not start but if I unplug the crank sensor it starts up and runs like crap. I can not figure out what to do next. My car has 91000 miles. My car has an automatic transmission. You should check to see if your vehicle has jumped timing.
What does the error code p0340 mean on a camshaft sensor?
This is an important tool, since without knowing what the right timing should be the computer is useless. The error code P0340 simply means that the computer has completely sent a signal to the camshaft position sensor however it does not see the right signal that is being returned from the sensor.
Why do I need to change the camshaft position sensor?
The problem with changing out the camshaft position sensor is that sometimes the issue is actually due to the sensor wiring harness; which might be the reason this OBD-II error code was triggered initially. The P-0340 trouble code indicates that the signal to and from the camshaft position sensor and the PCM is broken.
What to do if your camshaft position sensor says p0340?
Visually inspect the camshaft position sensor connector in search of corroded or broken connectors. Make any other repairs (if other codes are present) to make sure that other codes are not sources of the trouble code P0340. Check your camshaft position sensor’s voltage, ground, and signal readings with a multimeter.

Why does my car not start when I change the cam sensor?
Most of the time, this code comes up when there is a difference between the crank and cam sensors. The most common failure is the crankshaft position sensor. These fail much more frequently than the cam sensor and will cause a no start. It can also occur if the timing belt broke or jumped a tooth.
