So I am having an intermittent power loss issue over the last couple of weeks. Every once in a while - I would suddenly lose power - and while I could still drive - I could not go over 1500 RPM's and no power at all. Giving it gas has no effect. So I was able to limp it home both times this happened. Then it happened again the other day - and this time I got an engine light with it - so I was able to get the codes.
PO340 - Camshaft Position sensor A, bank-1 circuit malfunction
PO300 Random cylinder misfire detected.
Anyone else ever gotten these codes? While it could be the position sensor itself - it might also be anything in the circuit. I actually have another sensor from a donor motor I am working on - so I was thinking I would just replace the sensor and see what happens - but to get to it I would need to remove the water pump pulley and it's a much bigger process than I thought - so I figured I would chime in here before running off on some tangent that might not even need to be done! I recently replaced all of the spark plugs and the wires - so that part should be OK.
Would a bad sensor be intermittent like that - or would it just fail?
Thanks
