Does anyone know about the P0340 (CamShaft Position Sensor Malfunction) and how to fix that in a 1996 Mirage LS (1.8)...
They say I need to buy a new ignition, is this true or it's something else? plz
The car at first started to turn off during the first time he was on in the day, meaning if its cold he turns off but it has to pass a period around more than 5 hours, if not he doesn't do anything. Then we try with some ignition but he would give problems running, I couldnt pass of 65 mph...he would start to hecitate...so if anyone has any idea plz I would appreciate your help

This may or may not be true about the location but, I know the crank sensor in the 1.5 is right behind the lower timing cover. The Cam sensor in your engine may be behind the upper cover. I am not sure and will get back to you as soon as I get my manual out of the car. It is just too cold and my parents told me to stay upstairs for about 5-10 min.

I know its on the crank with DSMs... and on the valve cover. Not quite sure where it would be on your car... however i do know that its noware near the ignition.
