P0340 Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor Circuit anyone have this problem on their truck?

[titus7]

Hey Guys,
My truck wouldnt stay running at all last night and kept throwing this code:
P0340 Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor Circuit
when I did get it running it felt like it had lost power and was running rough. I didnt put my foot into it, ran it under 35 mph and under 2000 rpm but even at that it felt weak??? And the kicker is that my warranty expired on July 31 HAHA FKN great!!!

OK Ima try this again. changed out the sensor ran great for 3 days and now Im back at step 1 again. truck wont start and the cam sensor is throwing the same code again. Pulled the sensor out and the the entire end of the sensor is crushed and gone... WTF

wheres the cam sensor located at?????

sounds like you have movement where ya don't want it

 

[titus7]

Thats what Im thinkin. It right up front going into the front of the motor, right below your intake manifold. its a plastic sensor. Someone suggested to me that my cam gear may be lose and thats what chewed the end of the sensor off, but I have no idea and really dont have a $1000 right now to drop on it and was wandering if anyone had any thoughts or ideas.???? please???

So I pretty much have to take it to a shop and have the front end of the motor pulled off?? Anyone know how much that costs?? or where a good mopar dealer is in So Cal?? our local dodge dealer folded and went under about 6months ago and the closest dealer I think is 90 miles away.

I live in Ridgecrest. About an hour north of Palmdale. I would love to take it to DC performance....but due to the great economy that we are having right now my $$$ status is in the crapper and this is my daily driver so I gotta get it fixed.

SANCHOBA where did you get that report from???
