Curtis, Did you look at the wiring? I've seen people pinch the wiring in several places, almost done it myself. Maybe a tab just got yanked too hard; take what you can loose, look, reseat.

Just line up a tooth with the pickup, make sure gap is .030-.040". Easy to bump the sensor during a timing belt and it's a stupid design with only one bolt holding it to the oil pump and nothing to index it. PS Congrats on winning the first Ninja tool picture contest. Still time for the rest of you guys, one more prize.

I did a timing belt change on my 2002. No leaks, no slipped teeth (Ninja tool FTW), no problems…I thought. A couple of days later, the engine had a severe stumble under no special conditions. Ran fine for the rest of the trip (~5 miles). Next trip, minor stumble. Clutch in, observed uneven idle on tach while coasting at speed. Next trip, severe stumble again and CEL. Pulled the code and it’s P0340, Cam Position Sensor. From research, I know these go bad. Before spending $90 on a replacement, is there something else I should check? It’s certainly curious that it “failed” just after I had the cam cover off and the CPS connector unplugged/replugged. Is it possible that the cam cover is reinstalled slightly “off” so that the positioning of the CPS is marginal with respect to the cam? Something else?
