I have a problem with my 2001 Intrepid ES. This morning on my way to work the engine died at a red light. When I restarted, the engine light came on and has been on since. I haven't been noticing anything different since then other than that it's harder to start it. I bought a car reader and got P0340 as the error code which means "Camshaft Position Sensor Circuit Malfunction." Anybody has any ideas as to what to check? Is it something I can fix or do I have to take it to the dealership?

I appreciate any advice.

George

Check out this link, I know it's not the same year, but it should be about (if not exactly) the same.  It is a easy replace item.

no not the same  the ones in that post are for 3.2 and 3.5 engines   u would have a new 3.5  or 2.7   the cam sensor in up front above the belt, driver side. 1 10mm bolt and one plug,  put it in ,dont unplug the batt,  drive the car 3 to 5 days so the computer will see good trips.  if it is fixed the PCM will turn off the check engine light for u and u know with 100% that its fixed.

Thank you for your replies. Interestingly, the check engine light turned off. What does that mean? Was this just a random problem or should I still replace the sensor?

Thanks,
George
