You replaced your own camshaft???

WOW, I am impressed! Actually I am impressed that you have a code reader too!


Most people take their cars to a garage or to the dealer for repair.

P0340 is the Camshaft Position Sensor not the actual camshaft itself. You said that you replaced the Camshaft itself? You might have just wasted your money and time. Did you replace it or did you take it to a shop? I've had to replace the sensor on my SRT4 and it wasn't that expensive.

I would investigate the alternator if the car just went out. If the alternator doesn't work the car runs off the battery.

Spanky @ 2009-08-24 10:49:22

You still need to put more info like how does it sound when you trying to start it or does it even try. If the cam shaft had to be change why. If it is from overheating you may have warp your engine block. Your engine is aluminum and it can warp with overheating. this will cause stress on your pistons and crack your camshaft. Your pistons may not moving freely. How does your spark plugs look like when you take them off the engine?

P0340 is the Camshaft Position Sensor not the camshaft. So you should go find out where to get that part from, but it doesnt cost a whole lot.

We have a 1994 Plymouth Grand Voyager Mini Van It start and runs we drove it home from Fayetteville?
[Question]
It has fuel injection, It will not Idle, It cut out real bad. Has Electronic Ignition. Everything works on it except it will not stay running when you take for foot off the gas and we checked the spark plugs one wire is black inside but the plugs were really clean. Can anyone tell me what may be causing it to run so rough.

Dirty fuel injector or fuel pump is bad.

mama_sayed @ 2009-08-23 14:26:31

check your fuel pump or filters

jon @ 2009-08-23 14:33:43

Check your vacum lines,idle solenoid switch

jeepster @ 2009-08-23 15:27:46

Possibly an Idle Air Control Motor. When you take your foot of the accelerator pedal the throttle velve closes completely allowing no air into the engine. Idle is acomplised by an air bypass from above the throttle plate to below. Air in this passage is controlled by the idle air control motor which controls idle speed by allowing more or less air past as needed. When the fail they can stick in the closed position causing the engine to die unless the throttle plate is opened. Thay also often time will not set a trouble code in the PCM. Try tapping the IAC gently with a screwdrive handle with engine running to see if the condition changes. Its a small round metal unit attatched to the throttle body with torx screws. Dont confuse it with the throttle position sensor.
Good luck.

Dave @ 2009-08-23 15:33:15

Check for fault codes, do a compression test check you TPS, AIS, and your MAP also see if the throttle body is crudded with carbon

Dale R @ 2009-08-22 13:58:16

four cylinder? if so on the cam gears there should be arrows and notches. the notches line up with each other. and on the crank pully there will be a notch on the back side toward the engine that will match up with a triangle on the engine at about one o'clock.

addy's gruve @ 2009-08-22 14:45:50

Should be on the harmonic balancer on the end of the crankshaft. What I normally do is turn the engine over by hand untill I find the mark then put chalk on it and wipe it. The chalk will stay in the notch and make it easy to see.

Please stop whatever you're doing and take it to someone who knows.

[Question]
i am just wondering how and/or can you twin turbo chrysler charger with a hemi engine, because my friend has a chrysler charger with a hemi engine and he wants to make it faster so he's wondering if he can twin turbo charge it, lol we would use nos but it costs more and twin turbo lasts longer because its an engine and plus if we want to use nos we will use it on the twin turbo :) lol thanks :) lol

Sure, as long as you have the space, and the money, you can twin-turbo any engine.

Bandit-05 @ 2009-08-23 03:52:13

Yes you can put on twin turbos...Pick up mopar mag and there are more than a few companys that offer kits for your newer hemi engine...Also check out Paxton...They have under the hood super chargers that will give you more bang for your buck!

Johnny Rotten @ 2009-08-23 08:03:06

yup possible try these guys got the single kit talk to there tech guys for twin, with nos while you are at it go buy a new engine so you have something to use after you blow a hole in the block

rick b @ 2009-08-23 12:35:27

yes, but you gotta make sure the body and transmission can hold the power up though.
