Pt Cruiser
I have a 2001 pt cruiser 2.4 l. I was driving home car running fine and all of a sudden nothing... like someone just pulled the coil pack off... Turns over fine.. I can hear the fuel pump shut off and after turning it over a few times i can smell some gas.. I think the fuel system it fine.. I am getting code 0340 which I have found out was the cam sensor.. Bought new cam sensor and put it on and still no run... I have read were other people were actually unplugging the cam sensor and their cars would start up and run.. I tried unplugging mine and still have the same issue.. Could it be the crank sensor. And if so where is it located... I check the plug connector on the camshaft sensor with ohm meter and the conncector seems fine... Any other ideas would be appriciated.. I have had no previous issues with the car... thanks

I removed a small rubber plug I could see the cam gears and they are not spinning I guess my belts broke thanks dude for the help I hadn't noticed the plug until u said something and also is this a common thing with pt's

what do u mean by normal thing for pt? i bet u have over 105k on it the manual says to change it out that that time so yeah I guess it would be normal for them to brake if U dont change them when needed.
Grab a manual and read it see if its something u want to mess with or not.

My wonderful pt
one quick question. I just changed the head on my daughter-in-law's 02 PT cruiser and I've got a 0340 code so I changed the cam sensor and with local crysler advice I also changed the crank sensor and I still have the 0340. Any suggestions?
