Inside the timing chain cover there is a crank position sprocket and a sensor that connects into the side of the timing chain cover. There is also a sensor in the distributor(this is the camshaft position sensor). The connector faces the firewall. To setup your timing you have to rotate the distributor to 0 deg or you will get a P1345 code. A timing light won't help. If you don't have the right equipment you need to take it to the dealer or keep adjusting the distributor until the code goes away. Jon
Can the camshaft position cause your vehicle not to fire if code reads malfunction?
Yes, the camshaft position is critical for both compression and ignition reference. That is valve timing. But there is no code to tell you your valve timing is off. There is a Camshaft Position Sensor, check for voltage at the connector, broken wiring or corrosion and then ohm out or replace the sensor. Get e repair manual and learn about your car, you'll save money, I promise...
