P0340 - Camshaft Position Sensor A Circuit (Bank 1)
The usual opel fault ,its the computer misreading the crank sensor owing to build up of magnetic flux in the crankshaft .Now what you do here is simple and if you dont it will cost an arm and a leg to repair.Now look on the front pulley and see if you have the earlier pulley still fitted as old stock on the assembly line ,Now look and see if it has a toothed ring and a support bracket top left hand side,now if it has the obtain a sensor for the earlier model and fit it to the front support ,now the two wires that go to the original crank sensor at the back right hand side of the engine disconnect the multiplug and then snip it off ,extend the two wires to accomodate the sensor you have fitted to the front pulley and try start it and if its still the same reverse the wires ,this will cure it i promise ,now for computer thats bolted to the inlet manifold right side then disconnect the mountings and move it away from the engine as far as the loom allows then tie it up with a couple of plastic ties so its away from the engine ,now mount a old computer fan to the casing of the module and wire it in to the ignition circuit via the fuse box ,leave that sill engine cover off the engine as well as this causes no end of problems here in spain with the heat build up and no air flow when driving.This will cure your problem i promise as i do about at least one a month of this type of engine like the astra and the 7 seater whatevers its called ,iam old and my memory ? .Now dont forget the polarity on the engine crank sensor if after fitting the new one and its still the same reverse the wires .

Any codes logged?? Had a corsa do this it was the lambda sensor (pre-cat) replaced with a non genuine part & fault returned 3wks later. Used a gm genuine part & fixed the prob. If you have auto data you can test sensor using ohms on a multi meter
When my opel astra 1.6ie is cold it struggle to start, and cant rev when its cold, but when its warm it becomes normal. Anybody have advice for me please.
Identical cold start issue on my Astra IE 1996 F series after the engine got rebored - after months the new oil pump was found to be faulty & clogged-up & replaced by the spares supplier - the car then ran perfectly after this. I was told the blockage created a backpressure & the computer was stopped it starting.
16 years later - 10 yrs after the last service covering just 8600km (last 2 yrs car hardly started) has identical cold issues again. It can be driven around & wont take long cold start in our warm coastal winters. The good mechanic seems to be giving up trying to fix my old car but refuses to believe its a low oil pressure issue saying that just makes the oil warning symbol light up & doesn't affect a car starting. I want to check if the engine warning light works on starting showing the low oil pressure sensor is working. But his now busy searching for a Astra specific temperature sensor.
Opel Astra 2L,2004 model misfiring cylinder 1&4 after engine overhaul
Hi did you do the engine overhaul yourself? if so I don't think you have any comeback, but, is a registered agent did the work, you should take it back and get them to rectify the problem at their expense as they are the agents for the Opel company in Germany. Incidentally, General Motors sold Opel and Peugeot, France bought it, so you may have a battle to get satisfaction. Good luck!!
