the camshaft sensor is located into distribuitor.......The camshaft position sensor is a basic component of the engine control system. It monitors engine speed and piston position. These input signals to the ECMare used to control fuel injection, ignition timing and other functions.
The camshaft position sensor has a rotor plate and a wave-forming circuit. The rotor plate has 360 slits for a 1° (POS) signal and 6 slits for a 120° (REF) signal. The wave-forming circuit consists of Light Emitting Diodes (LED) and photo diodes.
The rotor plate is positioned between the LED and the photo diode. The LED transmits light to the photo diode. As the rotor plate turns, the slits cut the light to generate rough-shaped pulses. These pulses are converted into on-off signals by the wave-forming circuit and sent to the ECM.
The distributor is not repairable and must be replaced as an assembly except distributor cap and rotor head.
NOTE: The rotor screw which secures the distributor rotor head to the distributor shaft must be torqued properly.
Well code 340 is for a problem with the cam sensor circuit.
That does not mean the sensor has failed, only that it needs to be tested. You would need a scanner and the repair book to know how to go about testing the circuit.
Since those vehicles use a distributor, the cam sensor circuit would involve the ignition module in the distributor.
Sorry to the bearer of bad news but i have a funny feeling your ECU unit has failed ,where is it located on this vehicle anywhere near the engine where it can get hot?
what type frontier is it?? is it supercharged or not? p0340 is a cam position sensor issue. sensor is build into the distributor. by what you are saying, the distributor may be faulty. have you replaced the timing belt at 105k miles?? if belt is broken, distributor will not spin and vehicle will not start.
I would say that the P0340 is causing your no start problem.....This is a cam sensor code......The cam sensor is in the distributor and is not servicable.....I would recommend taking it to a repair shop to properly diagnose the problem before replacing the distributor.
P0340....Camshaft Position Sensor 'A' Circuit (Bank 1 or Single Sensor) P0325....Knock Sensor 1 Circuit (Bank 1 or Single Sensor)if you have no spark it your cam sensor
