I have been having trouble getting the car to start, sometimes it starts right up no problem, other times it cranks forever without starting. When it does this usually I turn the key back and then try it again and it starts. Took it to read the service code and I get a code tripped P030 camshaft position sensor A bank 1. Would this cause the problem and would it trip other codes such as the misfire code and a code P1000 which i'm told is a general code when other codes get tripped. Also which side is sensor A bank 1?
