My car will crank but it will not start. It's giving me the trouble code po340. I changed the camshaft position sensor, I've changed my fuel injectors, my fuel pump, my spark plugs, my coil packs, my wires, and still will not start.

Hello,

I have included for you in the diagrams down below the factory diagnostic troubleshooting flowchart for Direct Trouble Code (DTC) P0340. It is quite extensive, so please have patience and go threw every step. If it wasn't important, then they wouldn't have included it. Please go through the troubleshooting flowchart and get back to us with what you are able to find out.

Thanks,
Alex

Thank you guys I was just able to download all the images I'm going to go over them now and see what's up but today I know know what was wrong with it I just felt it so I pop the hood and I cut the wires to the camshaft of this anything soon as I cut those wires I brought into my vehicle I sat down and I took the coding around the wire that helps protect from heat. And the wires are corroded all three wires P, G, an pcm wie. Do I have to replace the whole wiring

Hello again,

You can purchase a new sensor along with a new connector with pigtail wiring as a package at most auto parts stores for a reduced price. This is what I would recommend getting and replacing. Then you will know everything will be clean and new. You simply take the old camshaft sensor out and snip the rotted end of the wires and the rotten connector off and splice the pigtail to the wires. Butt connectors are "OK", but heat shrink insulation and soldering the wires is better, but if you are going to crimp the wires together with butt connectors make sure to get high quality shrinkable butt connectors to waterproof the connection. Get back to us with what you decide and how it turns out please.

Thanks,
Alex
