I was getting the P0340 code so I replaced the camshaft sensor and synchronizer. But I'm still getting codes. What might be the issue that is causing this? Also it has a miss or smothers like going down the road.

Welcome to 2CarPros.

I suspect the sensor and synchronizer may not have been timed correctly. I am going to provide the directions for the synchronizer install. Check through them to see if you did it correctly.

INSTALLATION

1. Install the Synchro Positioning Tool on the camshaft synchronizer by rotating the tool until it engages the notch in the camshaft synchronizer housing.

CAUTION: A Synchro Positioning Tool must be used during the installation of the replacement synchronizer assembly. Failure to follow this procedure will result in the fuel system being out of time with the engine, possibly causing engine damage.

2. Install the camshaft synchronizer housing assembly so the arrow on the Synchro Positioning Tool is 54 degrees from the centerline of the engine.

NOTE: During installation, the arrow on the synchronizer alignment tool will rotate clockwise as the gears engage.
