My van has a check engine light on. To start off with since it's turned cold weather the light popped on & I have to let the van run for 10-15 minutes before I can drive it or it will cut off, cut out when it's cold. I have the code the computer said & it's PO340-Camshaft position sensor A circuit (bank 1 or single sensor). I have had previous problems with my other car w/ check engine. Do you think it's just the camshaft position sensor or will I have to go down a whole list of things it could possibly be?
Thank you,
Donna

check the wiring to the sensor .. possibly worn/corroded and getting wet in damp/cold condition's .. if no fault found on wiring .. change sensor ..
