You are correct there is no cam sensor,,,,,the codes sets for secondary ignition problems,,,,like,,old spark plugs and wires with high resistance,,,thats the first thing you change if they are old and you have this DTC,,,next would be the crankshaft position sensor,,that can also cause this code but not as likely as the plugs and wires,,,,,,,,next would be the most expensive to replace is the ignition module,,where the spark plug wires go to by the trans that can set this code as well,,,its a tricky code,,,,try these items and you should be ok

The po340 is a cam sensor code ,po325 is a crank sensor code>THE crank if it goes bad will through both codes,and also the car will not start.You will have no spark or injector pulse.So have your crank sensor checked:)

DTC - PO340, PO325

My Nissan micro 2004 model just stopped in the middle of the road one day then the engine management light came on, anyway took it to my local garage TWK Thomas who said it was a cam shaft sensor problem. OK so sensor was put on, engine management light went off for two days only. So went back to the garage they said that another sensor should be fitted on the opposite side. And then the problem should be rectified, but i had given the £160 for this problem to be fixed the first time. I decided it was time to take it to another garage Nis Tec they put it on the computer and a code po340 came up would this mean another sensor or the cam chain has stretched please help. ...claire
