Engine misfires, rough idling, difficulty starting, or a check engine light with camshaft position codes (P0340–P0344) — these are common signs that your camshaft position sensor is failing. The sensor monitors the rotational position of the camshaft and sends this data to the Engine Control Module (ECM). The ECM uses this information to control ignition timing and fuel injection for proper engine operation . A faulty sensor can cause the engine to run poorly, stall, or fail to start. Replacing it with this genuine GM part restores accurate engine timing and reliable performance.
