Checked the spark plug wires if is cracked P0340 is no cam signalat the PCM is. The camshaft position sensor information, along with the crankshaft
position sensor information, is used control the fuel injection
synchronization. The excess heat from the catalytic converter
indicatesunburned fuel going out the exhaust. The catalytic converteris
designed to burn any fuelleft in the exhaust. It sounds like your
injectors are definitely out of sync dumping raw fuel out the exhaust.
Since youreplaced the both the sensors and the PCM, it sounds like a
wiring problem betweenone of the sensors and the PCM. Always use a
digital multi-meter so you don't blow the PCM. Pull the cam sensor
connector and check, with the key on, for about 8VDC on the orange wire
(power from the PCM), and put the negative lead on the black/light blue
wire (ground.) If you get about 8 volts both of those 2 wires are good.
That just leaves thetan/yellow wire (sensor signal.) The signal should
fluctuate 0 to 5 volts as the cam notches pass the sensor. To check the
wire you would have to probe this wire at the PCM with all the
connections put together, key on, and engine rotating (either by hand or
with the starter.) The crank sensor wiring could be checked basically
the same way. Overheating the cayalytic converter can cause the ceramic
beads inside of it to crack, requiring replacement. Don't overheat the
converters if you can help it. Turning the key on with a sensor
unplugged will usually set an OBD code that will need to be cleared. It
sounds like your on the right track. Let us know how it goes. P0340 Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor Circuit P0344 Camshaft Position Sensor Circuit Intermittent
