P0340 Camshaft Position Sensor Circuit Malfunction
P1537 Intake Manifold Runner Control (IMRC) Bank #1 Stuck open
P1538 Intake Manifold Runner Control Bank #2 Stuck open
P0171 Lean Bank #1 (Usually a vaccum leak)
P0174 Lean Bank #2 (as above)
P0733 Incorrect Ratio for 3rd gear (transaxle code)

Out of this list.....look for a vaccum leak.....possibly in the IMRC path as they are vaccum controled.

Check electrical connections.

Camshaft position sensor is easy to replace....sometimes the connector deteriorates.....If you replace JUST the sensor, 2 little bolts on the top of the sensor & 1 electrical connection....goes on just as you took it off.
This is all that is left of the former 'distributer'. Replacement of the gears that connect to the camshaft....requires careful alignment....so don't mess with any other screws / bolts around there if you don't have to.

C1155 1158 1234 LF (Left Front) Wheel Speed Sensor problems
C1168 RR Wheel Speed Sensor problem

I have the PO340 code and all indicatoins are that the cam shaft position sensor is easy to replace. However I don't know where it is? Any help in finding this on a 96 3.8 GL?

Thanks - R.Webb

Hi
You will find the CPS just above the water pump. It has a 2" Dia. round top to it with the elecrical connection coming in from the right rear.
