(Discontinued) Mopar OEM Cam Position Sensor, 95-99 Neon DOHC/03-05 Neon SRT-4 / 01-10 PT/Eclipse
Mopar has discontinued this item, we do not have anymore left!!!
If you own a 2003-2005 Dodge SRT-4, at some point more than likely you'll get a P0340 check engine light along with not being able to rev the engine higher than 2300 rpms.
Its fairly common, but its an easy fix so don't worry. So, the cam sensor on the SRT4 is right on top of the engine on the driver side. Its held in place with two bolts and has an electrical plug that connects to it.
The first and most important step to fixing this problem, is to buy a genuine, Mopar OEM cam sensor. We hear from customers way too often, that bought a local auto parts store cam sensor, and had further problems. Buy the Mopar OEM sensor and fix this problem!
Also in addition to buying the cam sensor, be sure to buy the Mopar OEM cam position magnet as well to replace at the same time!
Then, undo the factory two bolts, remove the electrical connector to the sensor. Then, using a star bit, remove the magnet. Now, dont worry the magnet has offset pins so you can only put it back in one way (note - aftermarket camshafts may sometimes have two different pin holes that allow you to rotate the magnet, so keep an eye on which way the pins are plugged into the camshaft).
After installing the magnet onto the end of the camshaft, make sure the cam sensor gasket is in place and then attach the cam sensor onto the head. Then plug in the electrical connector. Disconnect the battery for 5-10 minutes to reset the pcm and erase the check engine code.
Note: the crankshaft sensor is also on the same electrical circuit as the cam position sensor so sometimes you can have a check engine light trigger for the cam sensor, and after replacement still have the same issue. If thats the case you may have to do further testing and or replace the crank sensor.
