Supercharged Marauder Throwing Code P0340 NEED HELP PLEASE!

[BackNBlack]

All of a sudden CHECK ENGINE light comes on last Saturday after a 35 minute drive (stopped for an errand, came back out...started up...CHECK ENGINE)

Car ran fine and continued to while I searched and found closest Auto Zone for an OBD2 Read. 2 Codes found...1 regarding Cam Timing and 1 regarding Fuel Pressure Sensor Gauge - NOTE: I was an IDIOT and didn't write down the actual codes! Asked AZ Kid to "Clear the Codes' and i drive 40 mins home...NO CODE...NO sign of any concern...drives fine.

Arrive home...shut down...walk inside for few minutes...come back out...Start up & - CHECK ENGINE ! So I park the car till today...Start the car...CHECK ENGINE...drive to another AZ...OBD2 Reader scan and PO340 is the Code...only ONE CODE...

PO340 = Camshaft Position Sensor A Circuit (Bank 1 or Single Sensor)

Who has thoughts? Ideas? Solutions? Warnings? Insight?

NEED HELP PLEASE!

I don't have experence with that particular error code, but it sounds self explanatory. The camshaft position sensor is located at the top of the block facing the front of the car on the far right and left extremes, just below where the heads meet the block. I have no idea if it's as simple as just swapping it out, or if connecting a new sensor requires calibration, but they sell the part in Autozone for $28. If you're comfortable working on your car yourself, just do some research to find out if "Circuit A" is the passenger or driver side, and confirm that there's no special calibration required.

If there is calibration involved or if you're not comfortable working on it yourself, it might be worth just bringing it to a shop and letting them do it. If it really is just the sensor, it might not be as big and expensive of a job as your imagining.
