I have a p0340 returns every time I clear it, there are no check engine light on. Also tachometer will only read when revved about 2k rpms and a slight hesitation when stepping on the accelerator. I'm thinking this just may be a vacuum leak, but who knows. The code is for Bank 1 but I changed both cam sensors, but code still comes back.
Will begin looking for vacuum leaks and change crank sensor this weekend and see what results I get.
Being that the engine is chain driven, is it possible to have slightly jumped timing.
Still looking for advice.

Good morning,

The code indicates a voltage issue with the sensor.

Did you verify the 5 volt signal from the PCM to the sensor?

So would the issue be in the sensor harness connector or PCM?

Could be, but I need you to check the voltage.
