Car dies when your driving. Sometimes it may start right away again or it could maybe take 10mins or so. When it starts again it could drive fine for the rest of the day or it could die out again after about 10 seconds.

Recently had the same problem with my car. First two garage mechanics i took it too said they 95% sure it was the fuel injectors that needed replaced at a cost of about £800. After a bit of online research i noticed quite a few people had the same problem, they then got the injectors replaced and the problem still existed. Tried explaining this to the first two mechanics but they wouldn't listen and insisted it was the injectors.

To cut a long story short i took it to a 3rd mechanic, who said straightaway it was most likely a sensor as the problem was so intermitent...he done a diagnostic test on it, replaced the camshaft sensor and i had the car back the following day, with a bill of just over £100

What does computer code P0340 98 Chevrolet Silverado mean?

Camshaft Position Sensor Circuit Malfunction This indicates that a problem was detected in the camshaft position sensor circuit. Since it says circuit, that means the problem could lie in any part of the circuit - the sensor itself, the wiring, or the PCM. Don't just replace the CPS (camshaft position sensor) and think that will definitely fix it. Symptoms can include: * Hard starting or no start * Rough running / misfiring * Loss of engine power A code P0340 could mean one or more of the following has happened: * a wire or connector in the circuit could be grounded/shorted/broken * the camshaft position sensor may have failed * the PCM may have failed * there exists an open circuit * the crankshaft position sensor may have failed With a P0340 OBD-II trouble code, diagnosis can be tricky at times. Here are some things to try: * Visually inspect all the wiring and connectors in the circuit * Check for continuity in the circuit wiring * Check the operation (voltage) of the camshaft position sensor * Replace the camshaft position sensor as required * Check the crankshaft position circuit as well * Replace circuit wiring and/or connectors as required * Diagnose/replace the PCM as required
