P0341 Code on Pont. GrandAM 2001 6Cyl 3.2L
My wife's car, a Pontiac Grand AM SE1 2001 6Cyl 3.2L is having a "check engine" light on every now and then, and it's interfering with our safety inspection. The engine runs fine, however. I researched the code and found out it had to do with an intermittent fault on the camshaft position sensor, and found the problem could be anything from a loose wire, to a camshaft sensor, to an element on the camshaft.
So, I think I'll get it diagnosed at a shop, and then fix it myself. Now, does anyone know any good companies that can diagnose for cheap? I'll return to this thread when the problem is diagnosed because next I need help knowing how to fix it. I learn fast and have an affinity for mechanical stuff, just cars are a tad new to me among other things. |

Welcome to AF.
Your engine is a 3.4L. The sensor wires run behind the power steering pump and go inside the block, I'd check the wires first . To replace this isnt real fun.... Thier's probly a procedure in the Tips and Maintenance sub forum for the testing and replacement. Good Luck Oh and I'm not certain aboutt shops in your area.

Yes it is under the PS pump, kinda hard to see with the pump on, but thier will be a silver metal case over the wires. Like this....
Here is that thread for the cam shaft R&R .

Question. After I unclip the steering fluid reservoir fastener from below, will I encounter any problems moving the black-plastic reservoir out of my way? Just making sure, and I have 2 days till the shop opens. opcorn: |
