I have a 1997 Chevy Surburban with a 350 engine - check engine light came on - code reads p1345 - it only came on when putting another distributer in - the other one was bad. Any ideas? Thank you!

does the engine run? If it does you may have a loose / intermittent connection at the crankshaft sensor or cam sensor. Check the crankshaft position sensor. Make sure it isn't loose. Also check the camshaft position sensor.

sounds like you're wasting lots of cash. Check engine codes? take it to a shop and pay by returning all the unneeded parts? call a cab?
Please tell me you can use a multimeter and read a manual.

you have to take the dist out and check the gear at the end, they wear thin and set this code. install new gear and set the dist for corrolation 0 degrees +2 or -2 degrees. you will need a scanner to do this,

P1345....Camshaft to crankshaft position correlation fault see the video and fix it. God bless you

its not just the camshaft position sensor the code is fault with either -----crankshaft position sensor with camshaft position correlation
P1345 Chevrolet Crankshaft Position Camshaft Position Correlation P1345 Yahoo Video Search Results

its a cam sensor corilation to so try replaceing that as well but if you want light off disconnect battery for ten seconds but if problem still persist the light will eventually come back on.

P1345 is "Crankshaft position sensor / Camshaft position sensor correlation"

Code P1345 determines if the distributor is installed incorrectly, or if a mechanical malfunction is present in the engine. The light will trigger when the engine is running and the camshaft sensor reference pulse is not detected at a correct relative position with the crankshaft pulse. Most likely causes for this Chevy check engine light code include a faulty crankshaft position sensor, a wiring concern or an improperly installed distributor. A quick check on the crankshaft sensor is to monitor the RPM value with a scan tool while revving up the engine. If the reading is close to twice the expected RPM, then the sensor is likely faulty. There are other less likely concerns possible, such as base engine or computer related issues, but these involve more in depth testing. I hope this information is useful.

Fault code..P1345 Crankshaft Position (CKP)..Camshaft Position..V. Check to see that both are hooked up and working properly.

You may have the distributer a tooth off and the computer can not calibrate the timing properly. Set the engine at (top-dead center) at the crank harmonic balancer and remove dist-cap to see if the "DTC" is off. If so, when distributer is out, you will have to use a longer flat head screw driver to reach down in the intake and turn the oil pump shaft to advance it for the re-installation of the distributer as it will turn when threading into the cam gear. Hope this helps.

i have done this before on these --- the distributer is off 1 tooth.when you pulled out the distributer some times the slot that runs the oil pump moves.so when the distributer go back in it finds the slot but it will be off 1 tooth.
