Replaced CPAS and changed oil...now I have a p0014 code and p0340. Could I just have bad luck and need to replace the camshaft sensor now too?

tbuckalew14 said:Died this morning on startup...2nd try started right up. Leaving work now and can't get the truck to start. Cranks...then dies immediately...check gauges light was on this morning.
Never seem to catch a break.
Mypetropig said:I have heard of aftermarket CPAS sensors being bad right out of the box but double check the wiring. I
would recommend AC Delco. As for "pending" that term is given to previously set codes.
Criuse control could be any number of things as there is so much redundancy in that
system. Could be as simple as a brake light switch acting up.
CaptainXL said:Well neither the CPAS or the camshaft sensor are required to start the engine. Try to unplug it and see if it runs. Or...something else is wrong.
tbuckalew14 said:It starts, but just dies immediately..
CaptainXL said:Possibly the Crankshaft sensor or VATS is possibly screwing up.
tbuckalew14 said:Crankshaft sensor is on the drivers side of the engine?
tbuckalew14 said:thanks for the diagram.. I'll start putting in the dealer cpas and I'll buy a new camshaft sensor too. Just need to wait for my wife to get home from work so she can drop me off at the parking where my truck is sitting.
then if I still have issues I'll try the crankshaft sensor.. Looks fun to try and get to.![]()
tbuckalew14 said:Can a bad camshaft sensor cause stalling?
CaptainXL said:Not that I am aware of. I removed mine more than a couple times and it never stalled. But many things can cause stalling. For instance:
1. Damaged ignition system components including ignition switch
2. Bad fuel pump relay or wiring
3. Bad alternator
4. Bad gas
5. Torque converter locking up
A P0340 indicates that a problem was detected in the camshaft position sensor circuit. Since it says circuit, that means the problem could lie in any part of the circuit - the sensor itself, the wiring, or the PCM. Don't just replace the CPS (camshaft position sensor) and think that will definitely fix it.
tbuckalew14 said:You do need a case relearn with the crankshaft sensor, not with a camshaft sensor.
Wooluf1952 said:^^^ Agreed^^^ and you can drive to get the case relearn done with no problems.
daniel944turbo said:Thanks for the help. Now time to do some research as to where its located on 5.3
KNBlazer said:Stick with Ac Delco parts... after all, if you buy them through Amazon or eBay, you end up paying at the most a few dollars more than what your local aftermarket auto parts store sells the part for...peace of mind that the part will work is priceless...![]()

This one, specifically wasn't your thread. The culture here is like many forums: unless there's significantly new information to add to a thread, necroposting (as it's called) is mildly discouraged. But if you're reading the forum through Tapatalk (I don't know if you are or not), people's profiles don't automatically show up as senior members or even staff. Larry here (djthumper) is a friend and long time enthusiast and we made him a mod on the sister site I co-own, offroadtb.com. Just to lay down some background.
