Driving 2005 PT Cruiser home and the check engine light came on. Codes show PO344 and PO700. What are these codes?

SOURCE: engine light on PO441, PO344 and PO440 were the codes that came up. 2003 PT cruiser

P0440 and P0441 are refering to the NVLD pump. It is in the rear on the right side up near the fuel tank. P0344 is your cam position sensor on the rear (drivers side) of the cylinder head. The P0440 and 441 are probably why the check engine light is on and the 344 was stored from a previous event. Either way they are two different and unrelated problems. The NVLD (natural vacuum leak detection) pump is an emission item with no effect of the way it runs however it will keep the engine light on. The cam sensor will keep it from starting or intermittently run bad and not necessarily turn the light on. Both parts are easy to change. I hope this helps.

SOURCE: My po344 code comes up on checking why the MIL was

It's not going to be too bad. I have seen this code many times on the PT. Replace the camshaft position sensor with a factory MOPAR part, not an aftermarket one. Clear the fault code and drive the car. The sensor is about 65 bucks and easy to install... when looking at the engine, it's located on the right side of the head/valve cover.

There is a TSB (technical service bulletin) about false error codes and the solution is to reflash the engine computer, if & when the code shows up again, 120 bucks.

Good luck & i hope this helps FixYa!

P0344 you have a failed camshaft sensor that is intermittent. There is a TSB that only the dealer can fix they will have to reflash the PCM number 18-15-09, this is the identification for the problem you are up against they will also put a authorization label on it

SOURCE: can you tell me what

P0605-------- Internal control module read only memory (ROM) Error
Have the computor checked.
P0700-------- Transmission control system
Better take it to a transmission shop and have that checked so they can pinpoint the problem.
