SOURCE: replaced cam shaft sensor now the code flashes

DISCONNECT THE BATTERY FOR ABOUT 5 MINS THEN PUT THE CAR IN LOW GEAR AND RUN THE CAR DOWN THE ROAD UP TO 4,000 RPM THEN LET OFF AND LET THE CAN SLOW DOWN ON ITS OWN ,DO THIS THREE TIMES .WHAT THIS DOES IS LET THE CAMSHAFT SENSOR AND THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR LEARN EACH OTHER ,THIS HAPPENS ON THE DECELERATION PART WHEN THE ECU SHUTS THE INJECTORS OFF .THEIR IS MORE TO THIS.BUT THIS WILL SOLVE YOUR PROBLEM

I would google the code and see what other owners did to correct the problem. It may be an electrical short or lose connection in harness.

2011 Malibu. Got code readings of p0010/11 and the O2 code. Replaced the O2 & camshaft sensors and the cam solenoids. Still starts fine but dies as if not getting gas.
code p 0010 refers to the camshaft position actuator(CMP) intake /left/ front bank 1--circuit malfunction====causes --wiring--CMP actuator--ECM
code p 0011 refers tocan m shaft actuator (CMP) intake /front/ left-bank 1--timing over advaced/ system malfunction ====causes ---valve timing--engine mechanical fault--CMP actuator--Wiring
you say you replaced the sensor but that was not the indicated fault
It is the actuator , the part that advances / retards the valve timing for that cam shaft according to engine rpm

Cam shaft sensor code p0340 replaced still no start
You will get a cam shaft code if the timing belt is broken. This could be you issue. I would check the timing belt before you go any further.
It can damage your engine if you keep trying to start it.

if its throwing a code for cam sensor but new sensor does not fix it given the fact of recently replacing the timing chain id say it sounds like the timing was not set correctly which is causing the cam sensor to receive abnormal readings throwing the check engine light on. pull cover and check timing mark placement against specifications

Cam shaft sensor
You always need to check the wiring system when you get a code and not just throw parts at it,I'm sorry this happened to you.

Error code po340 for a 2002 hyundai elantra
Here is what I could find on your P0340 error code:
CausesA code P0340 could mean one or more of the following has happened:
  • a wire or connector in the circuit could be grounded/shorted/broken
  • the camshaft position sensor may have failed
  • the PCM may have failed
  • there exists an open circuit
  • the crankshaft position sensor may have failed
Possible SolutionsWith a P0340 OBD-II trouble code, diagnosis can be tricky at times. Here are some things to try:
  • Visually inspect all the wiring and connectors in the circuit
  • Check for continuity in the circuit wiring
  • Check the operation (voltage) of the camshaft position sensor
  • Replace the camshaft position sensor as required
  • Check the crankshaft position circuit as well
  • Replace circuit wiring and/or connectors as required
  • Diagnose/replace the PCM as required
Sounds like since you have replaced both the camshaft and crank shaft sensors you need to look at the PCM.  Go down the line of possible solutions and don't replace the PCM unless nothing else works obviously.  I hope this helps but it looks like you are looking at getting a new PCM.  Good luck.  Thanks for rating my response and for using FixYa!
