Default Camshaft Position Sensor....

All,

Ok, So i installed my RIPP Supercharger and the Jeep is throwing the code P0340, which is the Camshaft position sensor. I know there is a TSB for this in the '07s, and I have having the same issues: 5-10 seconds before crank to start, will to stall from idle to acceleration, learching, limping. I do not think that this is related to RIPP tuning, but I addressed this to them anyway. I unplugged the wiring harness that connects to the CPS and re-checked to ensure they were seated properly...no issues there. Anyone have any ideas what else could throw this code?

The reason I ask is because, if I have to replace the sensor it is potentially another long day of work. The location of the sensor is directly behind the SC support brackets....anyone else who has installed a RIPP will understand my dilemma because, I will have to completely remove the SC to get at it

Is there anyone out there that has some insight to rule out other things before I tear this thing out, replace the sensor, only to discover this was not the issue in the first place (potentially)?

Thanks.
Brandon

The RIPP has brackets on the back of the engine? That's where the crankshaft position sensor is.

Now, if you are talking about the camshaft position sensor...

P0340-CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR CIRCUIT

  • When Monitored: During engine cranking and with the engine running. Battery voltage greater than 10 volts.
  • Set Condition: At least 5 seconds or 2.5 engine revolutions have elapsed with crankshaft position sensor signals present but no camshaft position sensor signal. One Trip Fault. Three good trips to turn off the MIL.

Correct, It is the camshaft position sensor. I misquoted, I apologize.

Just rechecked everything and the codes went away...started just fine. I hope it stays this way. Thanks for the reply, Ronjenx. Time to go have some fun!
