Rough Running P0344 But Did I Fix?
 

Worried that the simple Camshaft Position Sensor could be trying to tell me something.

Replaced before. Unfortunately with a cheap AutoZone part because that's was basically all that was nearby to get it running. Looks like I might have cracked it over tightening. Which I discovered when problem AND code returned.

Purchased NAPA Echlin part this time and after cleaning mounting surface gently snugged the part on good evenly.

Also notice the near perfect 7 & 7 grease looking pattern on the camshaft end. DID NOT wipe clean. http://www.flickr.com/photos/9092689...in/photostream

After replacing took the car for ~ 10 mile run with no real noticeable issues.

Is this common or am I just postponing another issue?
