2006 Cobalt 2.2 litre engine has check engine light come on and then computer read out on the dash says "engine disabled" killing the engine. It will restart after it sits a few minutes, go a mile or 2 then die again. Got a code P0340 camshaft position sensor A, bank 1 circuit malfunction. Where might this be located and how to replace it? Also got a code P0601 INT control module memory check sum error. Any recommendations would be appreciated greatly. Thanks
That code dsoesn't 100% mean the sensor is defective, other factors can set it. See list below.
Possible causes- Camshaft Position Sensor harness is open or shorted
- Camshaft Position Sensor circuit poor electrical connection
- Faulty Camshaft Position Sensor
- Faulty starter motor
- Starting system circuit
- Dead (Weak) battery
P0601 CHEVROLET - Power Control Module Internal Fault
Cause: Faulty PCM. (Powertrain control module)

it means you have a bod O2 senser the front one as your car has two or three for a v6 but it will be the first one one in the pipe on the front side of a gm product or if your exhaust pipe comes off the back i.e. 2.3 it will be the one in the manifold itself ohh do not forget to check the plug first sometimes an over enthusiastic mechanic unplugs or tampers with these to get you to do more work check the plugs well and wires they are easily fixed
SOURCE: Car died while I was driving home and will not start.
You would have to take the numbe 1 plug out and take the valve cover off .. first run the engine up on the timing mark to tdc the piston should be at top dead center meaning all the way up .. Now with the valve cover off you can check to make sure the valves on number one are closed. if this is the case then your timing is right and your belt or chain is ok... if you have problems with this let me know thanks jerry .. btw did you shoot a little starting fluid into the air cleaner to make SURE its getting fuel ? i now you said the fuel pump was making a noise but you didnt say for sure if there was fuel pressure ? thanks jerry
